Nate ~ Eight Months

 17 September 2013

Nate,
  Well here is your eight month update two days shy of you turning nine months...oops! In other news you are growing like a weed! When your sister was little I remember thinking how quickly she went from being a baby to a toddler and the same can be said for you. It seems like all of a sudden you have gone into over drive. I don't have time to comes to terms with one milestone before you are on to conquering the next. Slow down little man, for my sake.

Milestones: We were so excited when you mastered being able to sit up by yourself. Autumn was excited to be able to play with you more (and by "play" I mean bring you the toys that she deemed suitable for you. And by "suitable" I mean anything that SHE doesn't want to play with.) Within a day or two of learning this new skill you decided to one up yourself. You started army crawling across the floor. Your Dad and I are excited, your sister not so much. Autumn has quickly realized that with you on the move she is no longer able to control which toys you play with!

Loves: Anything on the ground that you can get your hands on! Shoes, Autumn's favorite doll, the dogs water bowl...everything is fair game to you. You are already showing signs of being more mischievous than your sister was. Just when I think I have gotten everything out of your reach you find something I never thought about.

Hates: There still are not many things that you just can not stand. Being uncomfortable is one of them. Peaches and carrots are up there. Recently, since you have become mobile, you are not to fond of having things taken away from you and are quickly learning what "No" means.
