Here's Nate in his high chair that we've finally gotten out. He looks so small in it, it's like the ole days when he looked like a little peanut in his car seat....which on a side note gets crazzzzy heavy as Nate keeps gaining weight. I want to invent some legs that can pop down with wheels to get him to and from vehicles and what not! Doesn't he look like a patient, eager, little student....he's such a faker!
Here, the baby I've come to know and love came raging out and his hands a swinging, trying to get the spoon and feed himself or just take the spoon and chew on it. I'm not letting him grab the spoon and gnaw because he obviously thinks that is fun and a game, but sometimes the kid is pretty strong! I think he would rather take all the food he kind of pushes out of his mouth and shove it back in with his fingers and eat it of off them. That is super appetizing, I know!
I'm not a neat freak by any means, but Nate's need to shove his fingers in his mouth at all times, especially while eating drives me bonkers. He then gets the food all over everything, his clothes, his hair, his ears, his eyes. It's a blast. Normal baby stuff but we're now back to changing his outfits as often as we had to in the early days when he would pee through everything! Oh well, it's a good thing we've had so many wonderful people give us clothes so he has plenty to sift through. I suggested mini-baby handcuffs to hold his hands back but Trisha thought that was inappropriate :) How weird!
Oh how he loves his squeaky toy ducken. Joe and I can't decide if it's a duck or chicken so he has been christened ducken! Nate can be in the middle of a screaming fit and if you start squeaking that toy he will start laugh/crying, it's actually pretty funny. He eventually calms down with a few squeaks.
He looks so big! I need to see him soon, it's been forever! Oh, and Claire is doing the same thing - shoving fingers in her face with the food. Her long hair is extra helpful during all this :)
