Likes/Dislikes

There are many things we are learning about Nate as he adjusts to being home.
LIKES:

• Beating on anything with his wooden spoon.
• Smiling.
• Music- he just loved the music at church yesterday. He also sings in the car. His fingers will swing back and forth.
• Playing "patty-cake"
• Okra- I steam it in the microwave and put it in his soup or noodles.
• Fruit- fresh fruit is prefered over canned: banana, watermelon, pear, apple, grapes
• Following Rachel everywhere she goes.
• The laundry basket. He likes to be pushed in it. We also turn it upside down and have him push it. It is great for building upper body strength.
• Going barefoot.
• Talking- he is making new sounds all the time.
• Swinging in his swing outside.
• Most of all he loves being center of attention.

Dislikes

• Most everything that is cold.
• Wearing his hats. He will wear one while outside, but wants it off as soon as he is inside or in the car.
• Lucy, our dog. He will watch her, but not get anywhere close to her.
• His baby bed. He is not used to sleeping alone and will have nothing to do with his bed.
• He hates having his diaper changed!!
• Will not keep his shoes and socks on his feet.
• Did not care for spaghetti. Not even eating just the noodles.
• He doesn't like small stuffed animals. He makes this hissing sound and throws them. I guess it goes back to the issue of them looking like rats. The regular stuffed animals are okay. He really loves to wrestle with the monkey Rachel got him.
