Roll Tide.

Well, someone is ready for the start of college football. Mitch is totally excited to have someone to watch the Alabama games with. Today was a dress rehearsal to make sure Nate's outfit fit, it's a little snug, but oh well..Nate will be decked out in his little Bama jersey for their first game this Saturday. Mitch spent all this morning trying to get him to say "Bama" or "Roll Tide." Which is just what I want..Nate still calls me "babah" most of the time!

Magnets.

So, this is another fun game Nate likes to play. Bremol sent him a bunch of magnets for his birthday and his favorite thing to do is stick them tithe front door..and the front of the washer and dryer..and the refrigerator. Pretty much every appliance in the house. He sticks all the magnets to the door and then violently swats them off. He's been doing long enough for me to sit here and blog about it. :)

Animals.

Nate runs around and sets all of his dinosaurs and safari animals up. It's funny to walk in and he's pretty much up-ended everything in his room but he will have all the dinosaurs standing up just hanging out with the safari animals.

Dentist

Well, we finally found a dentist up here! Mitch went and he is going to have to have his wisdom teeth pulled! Which is way better than having to get them cut out, but you still get the cool drugs. That sounds bad, but whatever. Anyway, Nate met a little girl his age while we were waiting. He was fascinated by this eleven month old. He really hasn't been around other kids since Rylee left, but he was nice and not too shy. She kept faking him out with her toys and he would walk around and poke her like, "hey, that's not cool." It was funny.

Fair.

Nate went to his first fair last weekend! The only ride he could go on was the carousel, and he was not a fan. He was okay at first but two minutes into it, he started fussing. I guess he was getting dizzy. So after that he just relaxed in his stroller and watched people. Mitch and I have discovered that since we've gotten a little more..plump..there are some rides we can't really sit beside each other comfortably. Hah. And also I make stupid faces on rides and cameras on phones have gotten much better. Other than that we had a wonderful time and were reminded that no matter where you live, you will always see ridiculous and very inappropriately dressed people at fairs.

Funny baby.

One of Nate's new little games is taking everything he can get his hands on and tossing it in the tub. We definitely have to keep the bathroom doors closed. But if we forget, he's very quiet and sneaky about it. Half the house is in the tub before you know it!
Also, the box from the Nerf gun we bought is one of his favorite things. When he first climbed on top of it he was too scared to stand up. So he just started whining because he couldn't get off or stand up, he was stuck perched on his box. It was hilarious. Now he apparently does yoga on his box. :)
Nate can also open the front door now, he was amazed the first time like "ahh, look what I did!" He's such a big boy now. When we get ready to go, we put on his shoes and he grabs his blanket and heads for the door. It's a little sad for me to watch him open the door and walk out, but he's just growing up.

I think I surprised him when I pushed him really high in the swing. :)

Long video, but I just couldn't stop recording.
