Nathan

With the start of the new year, and going through some old photos. I realized there were several months this past year that I did not use my good camera...at all. It has been awhile since I have done updates on the kiddos too. So, we will start with the runt. Well, the runt for a few more weeks! 

Nate has grown so much in the last few months. He talks a ton now and is starting to create sentences. He has the worlds biggest smiles and whenever you walk in the door he runs up to you and yells your name over and over making you feel like a million bucks. He loves to dance and is constantly grabbing my hand and pulling me over to turn on the music, "Dance dance dance!!!!" He also grabs my hand all day long saying, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" He then proceeds to pull me to the fridge to get him a gogurt. His all time favorite food at the moment. He call Makayla "Tay-ya" and Millie "Wall-e." When you put him to bed for naps and bed we sing him a song, and he will say, "Na-nigh, lub you" followed by blowing a kiss, "muah!" He is already extremely coordinated at dribbling a soccer ball and tries to shoot hoops in the basement with his brothers. He wrestles with the kids. He loves to try and ride Millie and give her big hugs. Thank heavens she is patient with this little boy! He loves to run around the house and is still a big mess maker. He climbs on top of the kitchen table, bathroom sinks, trash cans, computer desk, and just about everything. He loves to sing songs and suprisingly memorizes them pretty well. He sings, "Let it go" from Frozen at the top of his lungs! He loves his "banky" (blanket) and his "mok"(milk). He gives the best snuggles and he absolutely adores his daddy. He gets sooooo excited every time he sees him.  He is starting to talk about poo and will ask to get on the potty after Makayla goes. He is nowhere near ready and never actually goes, but we humor him. I am crossing my fingers that he will last longer than all of our kids and make is past 2 in his crib!  He is obsessed with cars and goes down in the basement and brings up at least 15 a day, that mom has to collect and bring back down so I stop stepping on them! He likes to play the "Pano" (piano), and dies to ride his bike and be outside. We will all be happier when it warms up. He loves the snow, mom just doesn't like dressing EVERYBODY to go outside! We love our little guy and I can't believe he will be 2 in less than 2 months!!!!

 "Nooooooooo" face.
