Eight Months Old and Other Fun Stuff

Hello, again! I have been so busy this month with my new hobby (more on that later) that I have neglected the blog. We have all been sick, then well, then sick again, and Nate is now on his second ear infection in less than a month. So I have not slept for the last five days because he is up fussing so much at night. Meanwhile, he has been growing, growing, growing, and moving, moving, moving!! He is crawling full speed ahead now. His favorite thing is to get into things he's not supposed to, like getting into the dogs' toy basket or pushing buttons on our phone. He's a lot of fun, but he sure does wear a mama out!!  He turned eight months old on the 26th, and he is a whopping 22 1/2 pounds of pure sweetness.

New things with Nate:
- He is crawling everywhere on hands and knees. He never was a scooter.
- Pulling up on his knees but hasn't figured out how to get his feet up under him yet.
- Can sit up from a lying position.
- He is into EVERYTHING!! We have to watch him like a hawk.
- He loves to have his picture taken and gets the biggest smile on his face when his sees a camera pointed at him.

I'm smiling even when I'm sick

He loves to pull books out of his basket and he loves to read.

I have tried and tried to post video of some of Nate's newest tricks, but I have never been successful with that on this blog. I will keep trying though.
