Lately

Lately, I have not been taking pictures! So, here are the best ones I have.

Happy little trick-or-treater!

A pregnant lady (not a costume) and a donkey picking his nose. Classic.

Mischief.

More mischief.

And the mischief-maker.

Crossing the street with Grandma and Grandpa. It's a favorite pastime.

NAP: 21 Months

Dear Nash,

Sweet, wild, busy, strong-willed, creative, chatty, busy, silly, serious, defiant, loving, smart, beautiful boy. We are so in love with you. I see so much of myself in you. I think Daddy does too.

Let's see...you are loving school. You go right in, sometimes cry for a second, but have a really great time, are super happy when I pick you up, and make fun craft projects. When Daddy comes home from work, you spend at least 5 minutes chatting to him all about your day. We generally have no idea what you are saying when you speak in very long stretches, but it's pretty darn hilarious, though sometimes you mean for it to be serious.

Your sleep is kind of off. You have your canine teeth coming in and they really seems to bother you. You have had a hard time with each and every tooth it seems. Not fun. You are eating popsicles and ice chips now though. They seem to help some. You are a very particular eater. You don't like many carbs. You don't like vegetables. You don't like food to touch other food. Feeding you is fun!

You really enjoy climbing and being outside. You ask for "hands" to "cross the street." Sometimes, you just make a run for it though. We are always watching! You also like to color and play with stickers or "stickies" as you call them. You are learning to help some and like to give the dogs treats and put their gate up.

You love to get "up" in Mommy and Daddy's bed and watch either "Elmo" (Sesame Street) or "Gabby" (Yo Gabba Gabba). You probably watch more TV than you should, but that's the way it goes with an 8 mos pregnant Mommy. Sorry. You still love to read, especially by yourself and a few select books with Daddy and me.

You are very independent, in the sense that you like to lead the way. Also, when you get your mind set on something, you don't give it up! Tantrums are in full swing. You like time out, so we're going to have to figure out other ways to discipline.

Nash, I am so nervous and excited to see how you are going to react to being a big brother. I am looking forward to spending the holidays at home with you and our little family. I hope you don't take all this change too hard. Whatever happens, we love you and all of your wild ways!

Love,
Mom
