About a month and a half ago we started him on solids. Yay! He was a good solid food eater from day 1! He liked the rice cereal alright, but absolutely loved the Oatmeal!
That is...until he discovered vegetables! We started him on veggies a few weeks ago. He has built up his vegetable repertoire to include green beans, carrots, and peas, and he seems to love each one we introduce to him better than the last. He constantly whines while we feed him, not because he doesn't want to eat, but because we can't get it in his mouth fast enough!
He finally doesn't freak out when he is on his belly anymore. He is very good at rolling from his back to his tummy, but for a while he would cry and cry until someone rolled him back over. I am happy to report that just today he figured out how to roll from tummy to back! Woo hoo! No more having to go roll him over when he wakes up in the middle of his nap on his tummy!
He is also working on sitting up on his own.
If he really focuses he can do it, but most of the time he gets too excited by something or tries to reach for a toy and then...
His hands are like little magnets. He grabs anything and everything that is within his reach, and even a few things that I could have sworn were NOT in his reach!
and its not long before it ends up in his mouth.
I am pretty sure he is teething, in fact it looks like he has a tooth that might be coming in soon. It has made him a bit grumpy at times and it just breaks my heart to know that he is in pain. But it's not long before he is back smiling again.
For Nathan's first Thanksgiving we began by watching Curtis play in the ward Turkey Bowl.
Then I attempted a traditional turkey dinner, which was quite an accomplishment because I was pretty sick.
Believe it or not this kid just gets cuter every day! I don't know if I will ever get over how adorable he is!! He is growing up so fast!
I am so thankful to have such an amazing, adorable, healthy, happy child. He is the perfect addition to our little family.
He IS way adorable. I love seeing how much he has grown. good luck on the move.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he can finally roll back and forth however he wants! That picture of him on Curtis' shoulders is super duper cute.
ReplyDeleteThe force is strong with this one.
ReplyDeleteAahhh I want to hold him! I know I bugged you to post pictures of him, but now it's just torture. Good job on your Thanksgiving cooking! The food looks amazing. Good post! I'm ready for more. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of his rolling...Macie still just gets stuck on her tummy and screams. The funny thing is, she used to roll from tummy to back all the time. She either forgot how or got lazy :) Nathan looks so grown up in his high chair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good boy to like all his veggies. His pictures just radiate sweetness. He must be a sweet little boy.
