Getting naked. Yep, all by himself. I didn't mention it last month, but Nate likes to unzip his jammies and get into his diaper. We started duct taping his diaper at night over the tabs to make it hard to get off (or so we thought.) This morning I heard he was awake but he sounded like he was playing happily, so I took a load of laundry downstairs. I checked the video monitor before making my breakfast and saw a naked baby in the crib! Luckily he hadn't made a "mess" and I was able to take the camera in to capture this Kodak moment.
Shoes: He loves putting on my shoes and walking around. He's also getting harder to dress....likes to take it as an opportunity to play "chase" and obviously he won at this moment.
Brushing teeth: VERY obsessed with brushing his teeth. And taking his time. Like 10 minutes. I guess this could be helpful if I'm needing to attend to Little Brother, whose room is right next to the bathroom. For now I try to deter him away if we are on a schedule, since removing him from the bathroom results in a major sad tantrum.
Coloring: He is getting better at coloring and I'm loving these big coloring pages that my parents gave him for Christmas....less likely to color on the table! Still also loves putting stickers on paper.
Other things--
Teeth:
He has cut 2 new teeth this month...his top first molars. That gets him up to 9!
Movies:
It has been awesome that Nate is more into movies for these last few weeks of pregnancy. His favorites right now are Elmo in Grouchland and the Toy Story movies. I LOVE snuggling on the couch with my little guy!
Language:
Not sure why, but he calls Elmo "Sahh"
Also recognizes Cookie Monster and Big Bird
Other words:
Cookie
Please
Baby (sounds like bebe)
Duck
Dog
We're trying to enjoy our last few days with Nate as an only child...but also looking forward to how he'll be with his Little Brother :-)
