Toddler Table

We went to the KidKraft warehouse sale this morning. We got Nathan a toddler table with two chairs for the kitchen. We also got a Lego/activity table and some wooden blocks.

Nathan wanted to eat dinner at his new table tonight. He did really great until the very end. He started to get squirmy and fell off the chair. He is not use to sitting in a chair without being strapped in. We will have to watch him carefully until he gets the hang of it.

Mommy, when is dinner?
Yea, thanks for dinner!
Twister is always close by when Nathan is eating.

Playing at the Park

We had great weather again today, so we headed off to the park. We fed the ducks and Nathan laughed when they quacked.

Nathan loves to get out of the stroller and run around. He doesn't always go in the direction that we want him to go. He has his own plan.

Playing in the Backyard

The weather has been so nice the past couple of days. Nathan really enjoys being outside, so we play in the backyard a couple of times each day.

He's pointing at an airplane
I like to get muddy

Crawling Through the Tunnels

Nathan has a pop up tent with a tunnel to crawl through. It sprung out of the bag when I unzipped it. It was much larger than I thought it was. Nathan likes to crawl through the tunnel. He laughs really hard when I crawl after him.

Snow Day!!

Yes, it does snow in Texas. We received a dusting of snow today. Nathan liked the snow, but not the cold. We were outside for just a couple of minutes and Nathan started crying because he was too cold.

Catching snowflakes on his tongue
BYE-BYE . . . Let's go inside. I'm cold!

Nathan's Close Up

Randy and Nathan were hanging out in my bathroom and playing with the video camera. Nathan is looking at himself on the video camera screen. I think he is checking out all his new teeth. His one year molars have come in on the bottom and the top molars are working there way out.

Playing in the Mirror

Nathan likes to play in the mirror after his bath. Randy captured a few photos tonight.

New Tricycle

I found Nathan a Radio Flyer tricycle at a consignment sale over the weekend. He's not quite ready for it, yet, but he loves it.

Yea, a trunk for my stuff.
Thank you, Mommy. I love it!!

Speech Therapy

Nathan started his weekly speech therapy today. He worked on stacking blocks, animal sounds and body parts. He also rolled cars on the floor. His therapist works with him by repeating actions and words over and over again through play. Nathan was a bit shy when she came over but warmed up to her when she pulled out her toys. Miss Jennifer gave me some homework on sounds and actions to work with Nathan during the week. We also need to continue work on his signs. He knows "all done" and "more".

Nathan is 18 Months!!!!

Nathan is 18 months today. He had his check up yesterday. He weighs 21 pounds 8 ounces, which puts him in the 5 to 10 percentile for weight. He is in the 25 to 50 percentile for height at 32 inches. Nathan has been walking for a couple of weeks. He has been walking all over the house and outside in the back yard. He can't wait for Spring to come so we can spend more time outside.

Here are some photos of Nathan from last night after his bath. He was playing in his room before his bedtime.
