I decided to log onto the blog tonight to see pictures of Emily at Nathan's current age of 2.5. He
is already 2.5????
So I'm logging this information for my future entertainment:
Tonight, Nathan named most letters of the alphabet. We are still working on colors. So far he has blue down. And maybe red. Sometimes. Green and yellow and all the rest are complete guesses.
We have not started potty training yet. Whereas with Emily, she was already in underwear at this point. Second kid? Having a boy? Jury is out. I'm claiming sheer laziness on mom's part.
He loves to sing and dance. The kid can sing all lyrics to any pop song on the radio. Kid you not. His mother's child. Not much of an attention getter. The moment someone gives him a compliment, he hides in my shoulder. His father's child.
He LOVES books. He can count to 10. He loves trains, cars, airplanes. Anything with wheels.
Still takes 2 hour naps, and sleeps 12 hours at night. Love my sleep trained kids!!!
He is STILL BREASTFEEDING. Yep. I said it. We do it for 5 minutes before nap and bedtime. 10 minutes total all day. Don't care. He's my last kid. I'll chalk it up to that. Spoiled rotten. Me? Sucker. No wait, that would be him.
He's a sweet, gentle kiddo with a little bit of boy spice. But not too much when compared to other boys. He doesn't get the art of rough housing or wrestling. Could be because he has a very sensitive and loving big sister:
Emily. She lost her first tooth this year! She rode her bike briefly without training wheels a month ago. She is excelling in 1st grade. Still a perfectionist. Still gets easily frustrated, but still an amazing human being who thinks on such a deep level. She still has issues with watching movies. She bawled at Frozen. I mean tears, snot and the ugly cry. The whole shebang. She just gets things. She is so caring and loving of friends, and always tries to be the clown making them laugh. She is sooooo incredibly smart. A ginormous lover of math and her reading skills top the charts! She has wonderful writing and her spelling is getting better every day. She is so focused and loves to build and create things with paper. She loves her baby brother and they play nicely together most days. Some days she gets frustrated and a little jealous of the time he takes away, so I remember to do date days with her a couple times a month. Just me and my girl. Love her. Did I mention she's funny, so beautiful and so smart? She really enjoys softball and plays soccer in the fall. She's been a rockstar swimmer since 4 years old. We'll keep that one in our back pocket for now. She can join swim team later. Like waaaay later. We will start her in tennis this summer as she has a mean swing!! She is the most amazing big sister. She loves Nathan with all her heart and she thinks of the best imaginary games for them to play. They will complement eachother as life goes on.
We moved!!! Oh, this house is beautiful. Edmonds, WA is an amazing town. You know everyone here. Ferries, trains, restaurants, everything. We will never leave.
That is all. I hope I got it all. I probably didn't. For all other updates, join Facebook. But for bragging updates, check here. It's my continued baby and kid book for Nathan and Em.
