7 Months Old!

 

This little guy is 7 months old! I can't believe it!

At 7 months, Nathan:
Has 2 teeth
Crawls
Pulls up
Is starting to cruise
Laughs
Loves climbing on his brother
Can be very serious and solemn
Is working on eating big people food. As he refuses to eat baby food and has never taken a bottle. He likes bread to gnaw on, too.
Is blond, blond, blond.
Has bright blue eyes
Likes being held up in the air.
Likes us singing
Enjoys playing with the school bus, the farm pusher thing, and the train
Loves Layla and Luke

He was 27.25 inches and just a tad under 19 lbs at his 6 month appointment. I am sure he is bigger now. He seems tall to me. He seems to be long-torso-ed.

We think he looks like my brother/me and my paternal grandfather. 

He is a joy. It's a joy to see him and Luke together.

Halloween!

So I never posted a picture of Nathan's costume!



Nathan was a penguin!



He did not want to smile for any pictures on Halloween. Like, ANY. This seems to be his new thing. :)



He says, "For real, mom? Penguins and owls don't even live in the same climate."



Because it was chilly and rainy, the solemn penguin helped me hand out candy while Hal took Luke around. Then we switched.



Luke was SUPER excited. We didn't know how he was going to do, but he walked from house to house, said "Trick or Treat!" and "Thank you!" and insisted on carrying his pumpkin himself. People would say, "There's a rocket ship!" And he would say, "Rocket ship go to SPACE STATION!" It was hilarious.



(I took a paparazzi picture of Luke and Hal trick or treating across the street.)
