Here is all about Nathan this month....
Nathan had another growth spurt this month. I knew he was getting long, but we went to the doctor today and found out that he is 26.5 inches long. In four month old terms, he is in the 90th percentile for height. Forget the 3-6 month clothes, this guys is fully in 6-9 month clothes.
Things Nathan Loves
1. Jumperoo. The jumperoo is a miracle contraption. It might look bad in my living room and take up a pretty big area, but this thing is worth every bit of floor space that it takes up. Nathan loves the jumperoo. It occupies him for hours, it's a four month olds equivalent to a new episode of Lost. It always leaves you wanting more, only the jumperoo is not confusing and actually keeps the same cast of characters.
2. Floor time. Floor time is no longer just floor time, it's now "time to kick" time. Nathan loves to pick his legs up and drop them to the floor. Repeat this action about a hundred times and you have fifteen minutes of awesome in Nathans life. When he is upstairs kicking you can hear him downstairs. I wonder if he's hurting his feet, but I figure he would let us know if it hurts. The kicks have recently led to spinning in a circle. Nathan's head stays in the same place, but his body moves around. That's how he ended up like this under his play gym:
3. Talking, I mean screaming. Nathan has discovered the fine art of screeching. I think he kind of sounds like a duck:
4. Baths, these are now punctuated by Nathan playing with his washcloth. It's only a matter of time until he's washing himself.
Things Nathan does not like
1. Getting buckled in his carseat.
2. His highchair/booster thing. I think its too upright, he is not having it.
3. When his parents obsessively blab about him on the internet, oh wait....
Things I can't live without
There are several things that have surprised me that we use so much.
1. Tons of washcloths. I bought about 40 washcloths from Target before Nathan was born. We use them for everything.
2. Baby Bjorn. I love our front carrier. Nathan loves to face out and it helps me be able to get things done. Sometimes it reminds me of being pregnant again, especially when he gets excited and kicks like crazy.
Looks
I ask myself every morning where this kid came from. He's sporting blonde hair and blue eyes.
