New favorite thing

Ok, I'm sure you are all sick of hearing about my "favorite" thing that Nate is doing, but he is what this blog is all about (since the election is over probably no more politics). So, as I was saying, when I come home Nate is either one of two places: in his little cruiser or in his room on the floor with his mommy. Lately, he has been in his room more times than not. When I walk in the house Carrie says, "Look who's here. It's Daddy!" Nate will turn towards the door, a huge smile and a giggle comes out, and he starts crawling towards me. When he gets to me he pulls up using my pant leg and reaches up to be picked up. THAT is my favorite thing. I will try to catch it on video and post it. It probably won't be the same but at least you can see his mad crawling skills.

For those of you who have not been around Nate lately, let me fill you in on HIS new favorite thing. For whatever reason he loves to drink from a real cup (big boy cup as we call it). Basically, if I have a cup of ice cold water, he wants his fair share. It is really hilarious to see. After he takes his sip he will pat the cup, almost as if to say, "This is good stuff." He just cracks me up.

Once final thing, and my mom will appreciate this, when he goes for something he is not supposed to, like the night light (his current favorite), and Mom says "No, no. We don't touch that," he turns back to her smiles and giggles. And less than 5 seconds later he is back at it. Some how I feel this is a genetic predisposition. If you don't believe me, ask my mom which gray hairs belong to me.
