2 days shy of turning 10 months and we have action!

So Nate decided that he wanted his bottle that was on the floor in front of him...
It was in front of him but he could not reach it. He stretched and stretched but no luck. Then he got up on his hands and knees and did a one two flop on to his belly,
only to push the bottle further away. I however found watching this very amusing. He did this a few times and they I helped him out. Later he was facing me on all fours and I was sitting on the floor playing with him and decided to try to coax him to crawl to me... It
was a slow crawl but he did it and I was bursting with joy! I picked him up and smooched and cheered him. Then I ran upstairs with him and put him on the bedroom floor (all carpet) and he was about 3 feet away and he crawled to me again!!! He was giggling with his new found movement. We did this a few times and each time I moved further
away. He was pretty pleased with himself and I was super excited. Now I can not put him down and expect him to be there when I come back. Too bad for me. Guess this will help us pack up the crap to make way for Mr. Mobile, LOL.
And to make his day just a bit more exciting he is teething AGAIN!!!
My poor baby :(

A Star is Born... Or At Least a Cute Baby!

As Nate's mom there is no way that I can't be bias, he's just the cutest baby in the world to me and Pete too. So when people say he's so cute i think, that's cause he's a baby and all babies are cute, right? OK not all but most, LOL.
So at my parents drop in today at my local park one of the workers Nalla was very smitten with Nate. She said she wanted to give me something and she came back with a company name and a contact as well as her name. She told me to get in touch with this person as he is a talent agent for babies and children. She used to work for the company and said that Nate has the perfect look and such a great personality that he could pay for his own education in about 6 months. She told me that they can pay $50K a day for some shots!!! OMFG! Nate, so sorry Mommy is gonna have to charge you back rent... right too the time you invaded my womb, HA HA HA, just kidding.
I e-mailed the contact person and he asked for a picture and these are what I sent...


Here is what the agent said "OH MY GOSH.....what a face!!!!!!!!!! He is sooo cute!"
OK, this person is either smooth talking me or he really thinks so. Nice to have that kinda feed back even though he has never meet Nate. He is gonna let me know about a job with Hasbro, they were just in town and looking for babies 10-14 months of age. How exciting!
Well we will see what comes of this and I hope he at least gets to do one job just for bragging rights, hee hee hee, mine too of course =D

How did u do that???

So I put Nate down for his afternoon nap yesterday and he was squawking away and I went in to check in on him and he was fine. A few moments later there was a commotion of squawking so I bolted back to his room only to find him sitting up!!! "How did you do that?" I say. I was completely shocked but impressed. He just sat there smiling at me, LOL.
I have no clue how he did it but now we MUST lower the crib mattress before he launched himself out of it, which would not be good. Maybe I should check with his Auntie Ann as she was just babysitting him for the past few hours before she went to work so i could go to the gym. What else did she teach him??? Hee hee hee.

Well what ever he is up too he ripped down his mobile this morning??? I went in to get him up and the arm part was in his crib and the mobile was on the floor??? OK, that's it I'm gonna install surveillance cameras, HA HA HA

Baby made Mommy cry...

I've been signing with Nate for about 2 months but more actively in the last month and on Monday this week Nate did his first proper sign "more"! I was so excited I started to cry (I'm getting weepy thinking about it and smiling from ear to ear!). It was a very proud moment and I'm so happy that he's responding.
Daddy taught him to slap the try for "more", which I think he just slaps the try because he can, LOL.
We're not sure if Nate is waving goodbye or he is doing the sign for "milk" but either way it's soooo cute. He's growing soooo fast and I love seeing the little person in him develop. He also has taken to the cutest shaking of the head like he's saying no with a smile on his face, too cute.

Nice shot of those baby teeth! He is currently cutting 3 more upper front teeth!
