This guy, right now


This little guy has been around for a little over eight months and still steals my heart daily.  His personality is a little more pronounced each day and I love it completely.  He is taking steps, climbing constantly and loves to stand and flap his arms.  He is making the cutest consonant sounds and babbles.  He still wakes at night, though he is getting better and better.  He loves to nurse and kicks his legs in time with his sucking.  He's a funny little eater who has to pull out everything he puts in his mouth at least once, inspect it, and then put it back in.  He still has a fan club of neighborhood girls who come over to hold him and play with him.  He wants to be close to his brothers and crawls over to join the fun.  He's often found standing at the sliding door watching the big boys on the swing set. 
He has two darling little teeth and seems to be cutting at least four more right now, drooling constantly.  He loves to climb the stairs and then yell for me to come get him.  He's learned to open drawers and pull things out.  He and and the dog love each other.  Jem patiently sits while Hyrum yanks on him and pulls himself to a stand using his fur for balance.  His patience is rewarded when little H is in the high chair and shares whatever he's eating.  His eyelashes are forever long and the most delightful tawny color.  He has a head full of white blond hair which, combined with his jewel blue eyes, have people making comments like, "he must look like his Dad."  This world is, indeed, a better place with another little Nat scooting around in it.
