- Nathaniel
- Nate loves his sister. He follows her everywhere and gets so excited when we pick her up at school.
- He is 20 pounds. His face is full. His bug bites are almost gone.
- His legs are short. He needs 6-9 month pants and 12 month shirts.
- His hair is getting thicker and shinier.
- He is a fast crawler and loves to crawl between your legs (especially while Momma is cooking dinner).
- He is able to go from a sit to standing position and is climbing over objects (mostly his sister).
- His teeth are strong. He nipped me, but really bit Rachel. He left teeth marks.
- Can give the sign for "more" and will say "m" at the same time.
- He can say, Momma, Baba (for Papa) NO!(also shakes his head), hi, bye, n-(nose), Mmm (Mei Mei), mama (moo for cow), ieieie for EIEIO in Old McDonald, and numerous other babbling sounds.
- He'll do this little dance when he hears music. It is a side to side thing with head movement.
- HAS SLEPT IN HIS BED THE PAST TWO NIGHTS (well, most of the night anyway)
Rachel
- Loves her brother.
- Likes to feed Nate and help take care of him. She loves to have him follow her around.
- Like to be fed by us. (especially after brother bit her hand)
- Has grown. She was wearing 3T when we left for Vietnam, she is now in 4T and had to have elastic loosened on several pants.
- Is working hard in school.
- She loves to write. This is amazing considering the turmoil it caused at the beginning of school. She loves to make lists, copy words, and write messages.
- Loves to do her advent calendar each morning. Gets so excited to tell how many days are left.
- Tolerates the abuse her brother inflicts upon her (I looked over the other day and he was beating her head with a wooden spoon). She didn't get angry, just calmly told him to STOP.
- She is a great daughter and sister!
I took Nathaniel to the DR this morning. He is coughing and really congested at night. He was put on allergy medicine. His throat was really red, but didn't have strep. I hope it helps him breathe (thus leading to him staying asleep and not needing to wake his parents up so much). One can dream, anyway!
