The Duffy Family: Busy, Busy Life!!

Life has just been flying by lately! Work is keeping me so busy that I don't have time to sit down and breathe at night. Nate is growing up so fast and doing so many new things. Nothing terribly exciting has happened lately. We are just enjoying being at home and spending time together on the weekends.

Nate has his first cold right now, so he has not slept well at night for the past week. Since my last post, we have started baby food!! I am making all of my own baby food and Nate has loved everything he has tried so far. I have made sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches, pears, squash, and sweet peas. He has tried oatmeal cereal (he is getting tired of that), bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, and sweet peas. I am so glad he does not seem to be a picky eater, and I hope this trend continues. I weighed him on my scale the other day and he was a whopping 17.8 pounds!!

He is rolling over well now, mainly from back to tummy, and sometimes from tummy to back. He pushes up very well on his hands and elbows and has good head control. He can even sit on his own for a few seconds, until he realizes he is doing it! Ben caught him sitting straight up in his bouncy seat today! I think he is going to be such a strong little boy. He is such a talker and loves to hear himself squeal like a girl. He tries to get his squeals so high-pitched sometimes that nothing but air comes out of his mouth! He only takes about two thirty-minute naps a day but never seems tired until about 7:00 in the evening. I don't know how the little guy does it! I've never known a baby who didn't take naps. A longer break every now and then sure would be nice!!
