Six Month Updates...

I am really behind on the updates...so here is what has been going on...

First of all, Nate turned 6 months old last week! We would have celebrated but instead he came down with another ear infection. He didn't eat well (or hardly at all) for a few days and we went back to the Dr and sure enough we are back on the antibiotics. He is doing better now and has most of his appetite back - and thankfully he is sleeping well again. We had a few rough nights of him waking up at 3:00 am screaming so it must have been a doozie. But all is well now! I guess it is a good thing that he was sick before the holidays and not during. (Yes, we take pictures of him when he is upset...sometimes it is really cute.)

Nate learned a wonderful new skill for his half bday...he can officially sit on his own! And he did it while sick...what a trooper! He was doing it for short periods and then slowly falling over, but then, out of no where, he just started balancing perfectly on his bday. I still keep pillows around him because he likes to throw his hands up when he gets excited and sometimes that makes him lose his balance, but he has it down for the most part! Yeah Nate! I can't believe what a big boy he is becoming...he is growing up before our very eyes!

We are so excited to be having most of our family coming to us for Christmas this year and even more excited that his cousin Keagan will get to spend it with us. The babies haven't been together since Nate was a few weeks old so I am sure it will be a fun time! We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy Nate's most recent piece of art...
