9 months goes faster when the baby is out of the belly.. :)

Some things Nathaniel is doing at this age are:

He lifts himself up while holding on to something and then walks while holding on

He rolls his cars around the floor in our house, by crawling and dragging the car

He tears books or eats them

He pulls out the stuffing in dolls and chews on the stuffing for a very very long time

His smile is crooked or he smiles like he has too many teeth in the way

He nurses about every 2 hours, eats fruits, veggies, meats, chicken, bread, pizza crusts, fries

He sleeps from 7pm till 7am and takes about 2 to 3 naps a day that are about 45 min long.. 

He echos Niko when Niko yells

He smiles at Niko alot!

He smiles with many people :)

He really hates car rides, or being strapped down with any kind of seat belt

He growls like a bear

He burps you as you burp him

He needs his back patted alot if he can't fall asleep

He has adorable messy blonde baby hair... No one would ever guess he is Hispanic :) (gets his adorable good looks from his Daddy :)

He drools and drools and drools

He prefers no diaper

Changing his diaper is close enough to a P90X workout

He likes his food cold

He hates drinking from a baby bottle, but likes Sippy Cups especially if they aren't his

He claps his hands if he wants more food, or no food, or if we say "YAY"

He holds his hands out straight in the air and screams when he is totally done eating

He opens and closes every door he can get to

He is sitting in a front facing car seat now

He rarely looks clean, but when he does it doesn't last long.. 

He is very hard to just hold, because he fights you to let him go, and then cries to be held again.. 

He loves giving open mouth kisses to your chin or cheeks or nose

He opens and closes my sock drawer and pulls all my socks out! (I have a video hopefully I can load it when my video up-loader works again..)

I am so blessed God gave me this precious baby!








3 more months and Niko is 3!!!

This wouldn't be a complete post if I didn't add what our big boy Niko is doing at this age also!

He asks to have pudding every morning... even if Daddy and Mommy say no every morning

He loves white pudding, unless all we have is white pudding then he wants brown pudding

He says NO to almost everything we tell him to do or not to do

He sleeps right next to Daddy early in the morning and kicks Mommy on her back

He loves loves loves and has to have his two blankets (white and blue)

He wrestles with his buddy Bobby but if a girl tries to hug him, he'll scream!

He gives high fives to everyone and kisses and hugs to only those he knows well

He knows his letters, shapes and numbers 1-10

He likes music and calls all music "Jesus Songs"

He prays before his meal by saying "Jesus Amen"

If he sees a man with a beard he'll ask if that's Jesus.. 

He can swing in his backyard swing for hours

He loves cars and especially when they speed and crash (please pray for all of us when he begins driving :)

He helps Mikey and I trust and depend so much more on the Lord for energy, wisdom, grace, and love

He loves Arielle, she watches the boys Friday nights and Thursday nights and is his Sunday school teacher

He is very scared and hates the garbage truck

He is a strong willed boy

He eats everything if it first came off our plate

He hates sitting on the potty but loves flossing his teeth

He loves loves loves to be read to

He sleeps from 8pm to 6am and takes 1 nap a day for about 2 hours

He calls Nathaniel "Nato" and loves to hug and kiss him, pet him with his feet and take his toys away, but mostly loves to make him smile

He needs to be doing something if not he's bored and follows us around everywhere

He loves to help out around the house

He loves to throw trash away, even if the napkins are brand new, he considers them trash and throws them away

He has hazel eyes, dark brown hair, light skin and a smile that is so beautiful! He is so incredibly handsome! I am so blessed to have a son like Niko! He is my Goo :) 










Some amazing times in our home is watching our two boys interact! I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with them and spend my everydays with them.. 









Thank you Jesus!!!
