This is Nathan walking on his knees. One of the funniest things he does. It's his middle ground between crawling and walking. This little video doesn't have sound but it is cute.

A few milestones
It's been almost a month since I updated the blog and a few things have happened since then. On March 13th, Nathan took his first steps without assistance. I did not see them but that was bound to happen. He was in the nursery at church. When I went after the service to pick him up, the teachers said that he had been walking all around. I said "by himself" and they said yes. So, they brought him in the hallway, I got down on my knees and gestured for him to come over... and sure enough, he walked. There were about 5 people hovered in the hall because they could tell it was a special moment... the tell all sign was my tears :) Later that day when I went to my parents house, I had my mom and dad come in the living room and watch. They did not know he had taken his first steps and I wanted to show them first instead of just telling them. He still prefers to crawl but his walking improves day by day. Now it's time to hit Stride Rite and get him some good shoes.
Something else that Nathan has started doing as of today is when he is eating, he can put his spoon in the bowl, scoop out food, and get it partially to his mouth. I say partially because most of the food ends up on his face, clothes, or lap but clearly he gets the idea. The meal times are definitely getting messier but it's in a good way. Generally he does not like for me to help with the spoon. In fact, once I start feeding him, he pulls pretty hard on the spoon much of the time to get it away from me :) :) He is getting better with his sippy cup which is also good. I don't need to send a bottle to school anymore. I give him a bottle at night and sometimes in the morning.
He has started stacking things and gravitates towards a set of soft blocks that he has. He and I can sit there and build and build over and over forever and he loves it. Of course his favorite part is knocking them down :) He swings his little arm, knocks them down, and screams. So cute!!
Today I took Nathan to the zoo and it was a ton of fun. Nathan enjoyed the stroll but he wasn't so interested in the animals. I think it is because they were far away and he doens't quite understand yet that he needs to look for them. But it was a gorgeous day and he liked people watching.
Kisses!
