Little man is 11 Months Old

Yeah Nathan is 11 months old!  As you can guess, I am both excited and sad my little man will be 1 years old.  (Regardless we need to get a new computer as I am tired of using the not so good pictures from my phone, and want to be posting the great pictures from the camera.)

Nathan is up to 9 teeth, all 8 in the front and one molar poking through on the top.  Also, in exciting news he has finally been upgraded to his own room (the office), and has magically turned into the best sleeper in the house!  His new honor also has something to do with the fact his brother and sister are currently failing miserably at this skill.  Nathan really is a light sleeper, and now that he is in his own room he isn't seeing mommy and wanting that one more snuggle, or being woken up by a crying sibling in the middle of the night.  He may wake once or twice throughout the night, but normally just helping him find his binkie, and a short snuggle does the trick.  No more nursing every 3 hours!  He is doing three 5 oz bottles at daycare, and a 6oz bottle at bed time.  Plus some occasional nuring in the evening, and morning. 

He isn't walking yet, but boy does he love the stairs.  Even if no one is up stairs, he knows you will come running to get him, so uses this as his reasoning to start climbing. 

He is also doing better at his babbling, and repeats momma, and dadda really well.  And he loves to give "Hi Fives"! 

Well before we know it his first birthday pictures will be up! More excitement to come.

Introducing Charlie the Bear

Let me introduce you to Charlie "Tyler's I go poopy in the potty bear!".  We haven't been pushing Tyler too much for potty training, but have been reminding him for the past year we will take him to the big mall to build his own bear when he is no longer going in his diaper.  Well this past month the light just switched on, and he is a dry, dry, dry little man.  He loves also showing his sister the skills of being able to pee while standing, fortunately she understands she doesn't get to try it!  Ok enough about the potty, you just have no idea how excited we are to not have to change his diapers any more!!  This really is more of a prize for us!  (P.S. we are guessing the name comes from his buddy at daycare, Charlie.)
