Nate had fun on his birthday, we had a trip to the beach (West Dennis, for those who care), and he loved loved it. He liked to sit/stand at the edge of the water and splash and crawl. He is pretty fearless (see upcoming development update) so kept me on my toes. He also liked the sand. (Jack really only wanted to go to the swings at our trips to the beach this trip to the Cape, on the other hand).
We also had cake (which was free of allergens), but he didn't even touch it save to flip over the plate and squish it a bit (see first picture).
* Nate is a walker. He walks all around the house. He still loses his balance and falls, but not very often. It is his preferred mode of movement at this point.
* He says balloon, and possibly mama (and mean it).
* He likes books a lot, especially "where's spot?" - which is a lift the flap book.
* He is fearless. He will climb things (onto stools, for example), if on the couch, up onto the end table etc. He is constantly bonking his head. He took dive into an empty tub 2 times and really hit his head on the side of the tub at the Cape. He will try to climb up slides and up anything else at a playground. Jack was much more aware of his own limitations, even at this age.
* He was 24.5lbs on our bathroom scale today (his 1 year appt isn't for 2 weeks). He is still in his 12-18 month clothes, but some of his 18-24 ones are fine too.
* He is sleeping about 7-6, getting up about 2 times. He naps 2 times, for about 60-90 minutes (generally, there is pretty big variation here).
* He has 2 teeth only.
* He likes to "talk" on his phone and chases Jack around trying to steal his favorite toys or whatever Jack happens to be playing with. (I'll leave it to your imagination to figure how that turns out).
