Nathaniel, our Monkey!



Nathaniel is growing up at an unbelievable rate. Sunday, August 3rd he started crawling. He does a funky kind of crawling. He will crawl on both knees and then put one foot flat and push off and then at other times he puts both feet flat and will stink bug it. He loves following his older brother Steven around and will want to play with him. Lil Steven hasn't quite figured out how to handle this. He does love to be around Nathaniel and showers him with hugs, but at times wants to lay down on him and then pat his back.
Nathaniel is getting really good at manipulating things with his hands too. He is just starting to be able to pick up cheerios by himself and put them in his mouth and can drip out of a sippee all by himself. He went over to the stairs by himself and balanced against the stair. He of course doesn't have great balance but each day is getting better. We also think he is moving so fast with doing things too because at Grandma Reed's there is carpet which aids to crawling much better than does hardwood floors.
