Nathaniel tries to do everything he can to keep up with Jeremiah. He is a speedy crawler and quite the little climber. So far his favorite climbing activity is the stairs at Steve & Brenda's house. He wants to walk so badly! Yesterday he found the popper sitting in the hall and proceeded to make his way down the hall, into the living room and tried to steer around the corner into the kitchen. He loves to stand up and is practicing standing alone (letting go of things) as well as controlling how he sits down (slowly instead of just plopping down). He is starting to make brave attempts to cruise from one piece of furniture to another. One of his favorite places to stand is holding onto the toilet while Jeremiah pees (he pees standing up "like papa"). I really have to keep my eye on that little one!
We also have finished a very successful week/10 days of sleep training! I will spare you all the gory details and simply state that Nathaniel now goes calmly and promptly to sleep in his own bed and on his own for bedtime and naptime after his short pre-bed routine. He now also sleeps straight from 7:30 p.m. - 5:00 a.m.! Woo-hoo! What a change from just a few weeks ago when we were still getting up about 3-4 times per night. I can't tell how much those uninterrupted hours of sleep have refreshed me.
Our smallest guy turns 10 months old tomorrow! Time really does fly when you are having fun.....
