Nathan is 8 Months Old!









Does anyone else find it freakin' hilarious that Nathan has his mouth open in every single one of these pictures? Ah, him and his double/triple chin! Chubby babies are so cute!
Nathan is now crawling, clapping, waving bye-bye/hi, giving "fives", and finally learned how to roll over from his back to his front (although he sometimes still gets stuck). He can feed himself cheerios and fruit puffs, and LOVES to eat. He is also showing signs of understanding words (like mama, brother, baby, daddy, bottle, food, diaper...etc). His favorite word to babble is "glug, glug and goo-goo (just like Joshy): occasionally da-da" No ma-ma's yet. He is not showing signs of pulling to a stand or cruising. So, I doubt he'll be doing that at 9 months, but he may surprise me.
He is mostly a good baby, but is currently teething (I think) and getting in his top fronts. I think these were the most painful for Joshy, too. He's been a bit sick this week and has had bouts of diarrhea. Poor little guy. He also hates getting his dirty diapers changed. This just popped up a few days ago. I feel like I am in a wrestling match with him! Where did he get all that strength?!?
We sure love our Naters. I am so glad he joined our family. He's a lot of fun and has added a lot of personality to our home.

Nathan is SO CUTE! I can't believe he is 8 months old already and he is really cute with his cheerios. I really loved the Cheerios OD post earlier!

So absolutely cute. I can't believe how much he is growing. Oh, and we are planning on the baptism on July 11 at the Stake Center behind my mom's house. I am a little unsure of the details. I think it will be at 11, but I will let you know. Love you guys.
