Nat's Imagination

Nathaniel has such a funny imagination. He pretends to be characters from books (see the picture of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"). Recently he and Tom had an opportunity to ride in a firetruck, which they both thought was really cool! Also, he absolutely loves anything to do with automobiles. He builds them with Duplo blocks, he drives them all over the house, he narrates all our adventures with his vehicle observations, and sometimes pretends that he is a car or truck or airplane. In fact, he has a special hug he gives to Daddy that involves a race car engine sound! He calls it his "McQueen Hug" (like the race car in the Disney Cars movie). There is a video below of Nat's "McQueen Hug"...enjoy!

2 Month Old Statistics

Josiah turned 2 months old a short while ago. He is growing healthy and strong and full of funny facial expressions. He loves to ooh and ahh and chuckle and wiggle.

Poor guy had to have his first round of immunization shots, a weigh-in, and had to sit in the doctor's office without clothes for couple hours of waiting. He endured it all quite well. He is now 13 pounds and 24 inches long -- which puts him in the 90th percentile for both measurements!

Here's a few photos from October 12th, his "birthday."

He's Clever!

I thought I'd share a few quotes from Nat over the last week. He cracks me up! =)

Tom asks, "What's this ring on Daddy's hand for?" (expecting to have a discussion on marriage)...
Nat replies (smiling confidently, he knows the right answer), "For your ring finger!"

Upon hearing JT's coos and grunts, Nat says, "He's making noises!!"
Then Sara asks, "What kind of noises?"
Nat replies (smiling once again, with great triumph, he knows he is right), "Animal noises!!"

Nat was trying on his new Cars underwear and talking with Tom about going in the potty.
Nat says, "Hmmm, yeah. Pretty cool." Then he shrugs his shoulders and walks away.
Conversation ended. I don't think we're getting very far with this.
