Our Funny Little Boy

Nathan has been doing some of the funniest things lately. I decided I need to get some of these written down, and this seems as good of place as any!

Today, I was taking his bag of diapers out of the diaper pail and he automatically went to get me the Lysol spray. It's funny how he knows what he's "supposed" to do next.

He's obsessed with anything having to do with teddy bears. He points at them everywhere and will point to every teddy bear in every book and smile and laugh.

Every single time he puts an olive on his finger, he laughs. Every single time. You'd think it would become old sometime!

We have a sign language book with pictures of a bunch of different little kids. There is one little girl he just LOVES though. There are 2 pictures of her, and he will flip through the book to find the pictures of her so he can smile at her and giggle a little. He smiles at some of the other girls too, but completely flips past the boys. It's funny how that is at such a young age!

Also, every time he toots, he laughs. Then he tries so hard to do it again because he thinks it's funny. Sometimes other things happen when he does this.....

Jeremy gets up around noon. The moment he walks out of the door of our bedroom, Nathan will BOMBARD him with books. He'll just keep bringing Jeremy book after book. I guess he likes Daddy to read to him even though Jeremy's barely got his eyes open.


We got him some matchbox cars. He can't quite figure out how to make them go forward, so he puts it between his legs and hikes it backwards. It works!

Nathan also loves to help with chores. He loves to grab the big broom and try to sweep. Then he'll try to walk around the house with it and keeps getting it stuck in doorways. Then he gets mad.

He also loves to help with laundry, and will unload the dryer for me. And then reload it, and unload it......

He also loves to unload the dishwasher. He'll stack the plates in little piles, and then go put all the silverware on the couch in a big pile. He does this with dirty dishes too.

Oh my goodness! SO FUNNY! Eli does many of the same things, I suppose I need to start writing them down here as well. What a great way to remember the little things our boys are doing. :)
