Just because...





I can, here are some cute pics of Nate.

We have had a busy couple of weeks. Last Weds/Thurs/Fri we needed to be out of the house pretty much from wake-up to bedtime to avoid the painters. We used all no-VOC (non smelly) paint, so that wasn't a problem, but we didn't want to get in their way and slow them down at all.

Some random facts/updates

Nate has started to grab at things and can hold things if you put them in his hand. He has cooing conversations and giggles, especially if you subtly startle him. He likes being on the changing table and doesn't mind tummy time for about 5-10 minutes. As is the case with most babies, mirrors are very fascinating. He is so well behaved I wonder when he will get his revenge on us. He sleeps all night (from about 10:30-7, sometimes as long as 9!) and generally is just very happy.

Jack has had 2 full days at school now and seems to love it. He has no issues being dropped off at all so far (knock on wood). He is still in love with trucks (especially firetrucks) and sports. He always wants to be outside too. He is quite amazing at throwing things (people randomly comment on it when they see him at classes/ in the yard etc). He has started swim lessons and is ecstatic about them...which reminds me I better find a class for him when this 6 week session ends! He has also hit the "me, me" stage - he wants to do things himself and has decided ignoring us is hilarious. He is not as well-behaved as he used to be and has started to try to do things for attention. Things to work on (for all of us!)

I'm pretty sure it's a fact the second Magoun child is much better behaved throughout his life. It's something about being totally awesome.

Love the Bruschi jersey!

As far as behavior goes, I've wondered the same thing about Carolyn... always wondering when things would take a turn for the worse. Happy to report that things have gone smoothly... she just a more easy going baby than her brother was :)
