Well, we're off to Monroe tomorrow and excited to celebrate Nate's first Christmas! People keep asking if I got him lots of stuff.....my response...no :) I did get him one book because he is getting more and more interested in reading. I don't really see the point in going crazy on toys especially since his favorite toys are empty toilet paper rolls, Christmas paper rolls, spoons, and paper. We have to be careful whenever we have paper/cardboard/plastic around because he attacks it and tries to eat it instantaneously. I don't know if he's low on some sort of vitamin or what!
Here's us a few weeks back hunting for our perfect tree...well our affordable tree this year :)
Here's the morning after I did my decorating. Joe won't help me because it's MY tree since I always want a real one. I don't mind though because I love real trees and I do all the cleaning up afterwards too, so there Joey. One year I even took it down myself, threw it over the deck, and drug it to the front to be picked up!
Nate's growing like a weed and fitting in to his 12 month clothes pretty easily. He's back to eating pretty well now that his first tooth is cut so hopefully he's in a good eatin mood for Christmas.
Here's a few at home photos..
Nate's using a sippy cup pretty regularly now and has a good grip on that. He says gooooooo a lot but is still mostly a fan of screeching, gurgling, and yelling rather than making any noticeable sounds. He loves standing and holds on to the coffee table for 20 minutes at a time. He can walk all the way around the coffee table on his own by holding on to the edges and side stepping around it. He's fallen quite a few times of course but doesn't usually make a peep and just tries to reach back up and get back standing. Joe lowered his mattress all the way down because I went in to get him after a nap and he was standing up holding on to the edge of his crib...slight heart attack on my end! His favorite games are when we sneak up and down the stairs and attack him, play peek a boo, and bark at him....yes bark at him. He thinks it's a riot!
Like I said, he likes books and especially loves this book with a mirror in it. He LOVES looking at himself and kissing/licking himself. It's pretty gross actually. A lot of times he lays his face on the mirror and just stares.
Well, that's it for now, I should get back to packing up for the weekend. Have a wonderful Christmas all and hope to see a lot of you over the next few days!
