life with a new baby
Asleep Standing Up
The other day, I put Nathan in his exersaucer to play. I could hear him banging away at the toys on the tray and talking to the different pieces. After a few minutes, however, all noises coming from his bedroom ceased. I peeked in to see what he had gotten into when I saw that he had fallen asleep while standing up in his exersaucer!
He took a quick, 10 minute catnap. When he woke up, he was refreshed and giddy with Good Mood. Good Mood is a great thing for a baby to have, believe me.
He seriously loves that exersaucer. I think he would totally live inside it if he could. And I’m happy with that because he’s learning all kinds of things… shapes, sounds, textures, etc.
And a happy baby means a happy house.

Eating Pooh

Pooh Bear, that is! This is Nathan’s typical way of transporting his Pooh Bear around the house. But hey! When Nathan is chewing on Pooh Bear, at least he’s not chewing on himself! (Yeah, he totally still does that.)

I left the diapers within Nathan’s reach… again! You’d think I’d learn my lesson, right? Because this kid has proven that he LOVES to get into the diapers, even though he knows he’s not supposed to. This time, though, as I was cleaning up all the diapers, Nathan toddled up to me and tried to More >
He’s not a toddler… He’s a rotisserie chicken

So why is it whenever Nathan lays down next to me, he can’t lay still? And I’m not referring to the constant fidgeting and leg-thumping. Or the wiggling or the clapping. And not even the head-banging or arm flailing. I’m actually talking about Nathan’s strange ability to rapidly roll over, around and around, while somehow More >
Block towers are just THAT cool

Nathan loves to play with his blocks. But the funny thing is, he doesn’t actually play with them. Because, you see, he thinks block towers are just TOO COOL to actually PLAY with. So instead, he likes me or Paul to stack them up, and then he just looks at them and makes Swamp Noises. More >
Just about anything can be turned into a toy

Including a Gatorade bottle with a small amount of liquid still in it! Of course, the lid is screwed on tightly. And Nathan is prancing around, holding this Gatorade bottle in both hands while intermittently shaking it, and grinning from ear to ear as if he just laid a golden egg.
He is quite proud of More >

Nathan, right after he turned a year old, playing with his spoon. It makes me sad that he will never be 12 months old again! (Wait. Is that whining I hear coming from my own mouth? Why yes, IT IS!)

Wow, and here I’ve been trying to get Tankbaby to sleep lying down. Clearly, I’m going about this all wrong.

Nathan certaintly doesn’t take after me in that regard. I have to be laying down in a dark room with a fan on and lots of blankets. Nathan? Nathan can sleep standing up in his exersaucer. With the light on! But yet, when I try to get him to take his conventional naps, he wants to stay awake!

Ours loved their exersaucer (or Supersaucer or what have you) too. For a while it was the only way I could get a shower in when they were little. Such adorable pictures.

Totally!! It’s the only time I really have a chance to get dishes done or whatnot because he’ll play in his exersaucer when nothing else can appease him!
