Nathan

Just a few bullet points about my big one year old for memories' sake today :)

*Nathan now says "chooo chooo" while "pulling the train horn cord" with both hands... it's incredibly cute!
*He is super comfortable on his feet, but terrified to let go and walk! He stands on his own when he doesn't realize he's doing it, scales the wall to get where he wants to go, and is all over the place... as long as one hand is barely touching something ;)
*He's already had some knee scrapes outside! Don't think Alex got one until maybe 18 months haha... guess that's the second child for you!
*Nathan makes animal noises for dogs (ruff ruff!) and any animal that "growls"
*He points to what he wants alll the time, and most of the time he's so cute that it's hard to say no
*He hates having to stop what he's doing for a diaper change... the second you get that diaper off he tries to escape across the room... then he'll stop and look at you and giggle! He thinks he's pretty funny!
*He blows kisses (and gives really wet, open mouthed kisses still too!)
*When you tell him to "say nigh-nigh! love you!" to daddy and alex, he waves and then blows a kiss!
*He imitates the way the big boys play, it is so cute! He loves to drive cars and makes sound effects to go with it, does a pretty good job keeping the wooden trains on the tracks, and likes to fly planes and superheroes around. He also loves the little people and putting them in the bus, plane, or truck!
*He loves the mirror and will get really excited to see himself! He even gives the mirror kisses! ha!
*He is constantly getting complimented by strangers about how cute and sweet he is :) I'll miss it when my kids are too old for that haha. They also always say what a great brother Alex is and how cute they are together! (and that they look identical!)
