The Nater Updater
My dad loves how we call Nate, "The Nater-Tater". Actually, I think I call him Nater more than I call him Nate! He is growing up so quickly. Sometimes I wish I could slow it down, at least a little. I think he learns something new or further perfects an already-existing skill every day! When Brett comes home at night, I always have a story to tell. Earlier this week, Nate learned that he can pull himself up in his crib! So the last two mornings I have woken up to a smiling Nater staring right at me. I think it's time to move his crib into his own room! His crawling has improved immensely and he can move pretty quickly now. He can move especially quickly towards cords, glasses of water, Lexi or Callie, or pieces of paper. Every moment is an exploration! He continually scans the room, looking for new and exciting things to discover, and subsequently stuff into his mouth. And very soon, he wants to move into another room because he has "discovered" everything in the one we are currently in. Since his main goal in life is now to pull up on things, we have had lots of falls and bumps. =( Nate now has two teeth. The second one coming in last week and the first one about a month ago. You have to be careful when he gives you a slobbery, open-mouth kiss because it can rapidly turn into a bite on the chin! Those little white teethies are sharp! Nate loves to eat, especially finger food that he can pick up himself. He has also realized that some things can go inside other things and he loves dumping laundry baskets or the toy basket.
Today has been a particularly grumpy day for the Nater. I have not been able to identify a particular cause. Maybe he has seemed grumpier because I have been so preoccupied getting Gwen listed online. She is officially for sale! I really needed to get her advertised because it would be best to have her sold when I wean her at the end of the month. I will be sad to see her go, but am praying that she sells quickly and to a good home. Here is the link to my main ad. http://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/horse-ad-1083000.html

Abigail still loves to pull out the laundry from the baskets. I'm trying to get her to hand it to me as I fold it but it is much more fun to throw it around the room. :)
