update on Nathan

I thought I would take a minute to write about some cute new things that Nathan has started doing lately. I can't believe he is going to be 11 months in a couple of weeks!

1) Nathan has become a really good eater, for which I am grateful! When he decides he is finished eating, he casually picks his food up off of the tray on the highchair and drops it on the floor. Then he will lean over and look to see if Jake is eating it.

2) He has stood by himself several times for a few seconds. Usually it happens when he is standing up holding on to something, then gets distracted and lets go. When he realizes he is standing by himself, he lets himself fall.

3) He has started to call Jared "Dada" after weeks of us working on it. Now we need to work on "Mama." :-)

4) When he wants us to pick him up, he crawls up to us, sits back on his heels, and reaches up for us. It's so sweet!

5) Foods he loves: steak, cucumbers, bananas, animal crackers, quesadillas, hot pockets, grapes (cut up, of course!), water, hot cereal, toast with jelly, and grilled cheese sandwiches!

Well, there are a thousand more things I could talk about, but that's all I have time to list for now!
