Nathan at ONE Year

Weighs 18lbs 8ozs (3 percentile), height is 30 inches (60 percentile), and head circumference is 18 1/2 inches (70 percentile)-- long and lean, sounds very familiar;)

Has light colored hair and is still a very bald looking baby. He wins the golden ticket for our child with the least amount of hair at one year;)

Most frequent comment from strangers, "Look at those blue eyes."

Most common comment from family and friends, "He looks a lot like his daddy."

Is teething like crazy!
We had been eying up 4 top teeth that seemed ready to break through the gum line anytime, and as it turns out, 2 other bottom teeth were ready to poke through as well... 6 teeth at one time! Slowly but surely, they are all coming in.

Some dislikes: getting his diaper changed (he can be a strong little wiggly boy!) and getting in his snowsuit and car seat (who can blame him, really?!)

Some likes: bath time and eating

Knows the sign for, "all done" and is working on the sign for "more."

Claps for, "yay!"
Waves "hi" and "bye-bye"
Starting to blow kisses

Is a very curious and active little boy who loves to cruise furniture and crawl everywhere (especially by the toilet and dirty shoes, because he know that's exactly where he's not suppose to crawl;)

Also loves to be snuggled and held too 

Loves his pacifier

Likes to play peek-a-boo and will often give some fake coughs after some real ones to get a reaction

It's usually pretty easy to get him to smile:)

Is best known as Nathan
but is also called Nathee, Buster (Brown), Buddy, and Buds-Buds

If I could describe him in one word it would be
 SWEETHEART

We love you Nathan Daniel!!!
