That's right folks, Nathan turned 7 months old this past Wednesday! Do you all find that as unbelievable as Mommy and Daddy do?!?! Here's his birthday picture that I took...
We had a wonderful, lazy week just hanging at home playing with all of Nathan's fun toys. Nathan's also been big into chewing on his toes this week (can't seem to get a picture of this), dancing whenever music is playing (it's hysterical - he gets his whole body movin and groovin - he doesn't seem to have a music genre preference yet) and opening and closing his mouth repeatedly without making a sound (I think he's imitating us chewing). Oh, and Daddy has been letting him drink out of his water glass and he loves it! I guess it's time to use the sippy cup that Grandma and Grandpa Krestel got him for Christmas. Here's Nathan just laying around with Baxter. Don't they look so sweet laying back to back?!?!
Nathan has really mastered crawling backwards this past week. He's gotten stuck under our picture table quite a few times (and under Aunt Carrie's couch). Here he is thinking he's big stuff crawling under the table...
Here he is wondering where to go now...
This is a fun toy that Great Aunt Sandy got him for Christmas - he has lots of fun watching all the lights and listening to all the sounds (I think I'm hearing these sounds in my sleep).
Below is a picture of what has been Nathan's nearest and dearest, most favorite possession since birth...The Hungry Caterpillar (thank you Daddy's co-worker, Amber). We've always kept it on the corner of his changing table and as a ritual, as soon as we would lay him down on the changing pad he would lean to his left side and grab The Hungry Caterpillar and gnaw on him while we changed his diaper, dressed him, dried him off from his shower, whatever. He absolutely loves this thing! Well, as you can tell, he's pretty much mutilated poor Mr. Caterpillar and he needs some nose surgery...
Thankfully, Nathan's next favorite toy since birth is still going strong - a John Deere tri-fold book that makes crinkly sounds and has a nice bright green tractor that he can chew on (thank you Mommy's co-worker, Cynthia).
We've been working on the forward motion crawling - here's Nathan striking the "on your marks, get set..." pose. He just hasn't gotten the "go" part down again since grandma's birthday last week.
Finally! We got a shot of Nathan sticking out his tongue! Oh, by the way, he still has his beautiful "baby blues..."
Since Mr. Caterpillar has been in the stuffed animal hospital, we've had to occupy Nathan with other things while on his changing table. I got the idea of giving him his toothbrush to chew on (and get his two bottom pearly whites clean) from Aunt Carrie!
Just looking so adorable in this cute outfit from Bubbee and Paw Paw...
Hee Hee - look at our cute little bear! Daddy took Nathan and Baxter for a walk and it was a bit chilly out so we had to bundle up our little guy...
For dinner on Sunday night Nathan had his first taste of yellow squash and he loved it! It tastes pretty much like the zucchini he had for the first time this past Tuesday night for dinner. He's really a good little eater (thank you, Lord!)...
This bear picture cracks me up - it's like he's asking the bear "what are you doing in my chair?"
