Mark and I took Nathan in for his 15 month check up (Chelsea stayed at Mimi's with her cousins). He weighed in at 23.8 pounds (25-50th percentile) and 31 inches (50th percentile). It is so odd to me still to have an average sized child and a child off of the charts. The above picture is of our Tater Tot sitting underneath our study desk. This is where he resides when we are on the computer. Silly boy loves to sit on anything his size. He gets so proud of himself and then taps his little foot. You can see this in the picture.
Nathan is getting more vocal these days. He can say the animal sounds of a cat, dog, duck, fish, and cow. He now notices babies. He even says his name along with ball, water, cheese, bite, num-num (when he wants another bite), eye, just to name a few. Nathan is such a snuggle bunny, he sometimes sleeps in bed with us. This is such foriegn territory, because Chelsea would never even attempt this. Speaking of which, Chelsea loves to play with him. They are often found chasing each other or stealing each others toys.
I love my boy so much!
Chelsea enjoyed a Mommy and Daddy date last weekend as we went to see Disney on Ice. She loved all the Genie's and princesses best. It was really nice to see that the show was not girl biased. They had a lot of their boy movies represented too. This will be great to know when Nathan is old enough to attend. As we left, Chelsea said that she wanted to stay for another show! We were glad she enjoyed it so much, but we took advantage of being near Rice and ate at Ruggles. It was very odd to be out and about with only one child; you forget how easy one child is until you have a second!
When he arrived, I thought he was so precious. He had the most quiet cry and loved to be snuggled close.
We were so excited to have him home, but I must say that it was very tough with two children.
