Bookworm

Nathan loves his books and wants to be read to day and night. It doesn't matter which book it is, although he does have his favorites, or how many times we've read it. When we're sitting on the floor, he brings one of us a book, turns around, and backs up to sit in our laps. Or if we're up in his room, he's gotten tall enough that he'll pick out one of his books and climb into my rocking chair to read. He gets so excited and will point to the pictures and say "Ohhhhhhh" or name the animal. It's like it's the best book he's ever read and brand new. I love his enthusiasm!


Here he is picking out a book before bath time. His diaper is a little low because he kept pulling on it, wanting to take it off. I've let him read in his birthday suit before, but that ended up being a big mistake!


You can see that he doesn't just get one at a time. He likes to pull them all out, then shuffle through.





Here he is caught in the act of trying to get "comfy."


Oh and this is Nathan's "monster" face. He smiles and sticks out his bottom teeth!



And here he is being a silly boy and doing his crab head stand.


"Here it is again Mommy if you didn't get the first shot!"


After reading 15 books 30 times, I finally talked him into taking his bath. The water is supposed to be red (we use these color tablets to try to teach him his colors) but it's more like pink :)


Nathan has started hitting the bottle again :)


I've tried to tell him that his bath water isn't exactly the best water to drink, but he hasn't paid attention to me yet. H sucks on his wash cloth and drinks water from an empty shampoo bottle. Oh well!

Nate, you're looking more and more like a little boy and not a baby!!!! That makes me a little sad. You are so fun to play with, though! Love the crack shot. Oh and your tummy is so fat, I just want to squeeze and kiss on it!
Love,
Auntie Carrie

That diaper shot looks like me after Church pulling off those panty hose. Books..one of my most favorite things...Hope you will read to me soon. Remember the night you stayed with us and woke up at about 3:00AM wanting to read "Moon, moon" ....Goodnight Moon...Cookie was right there ready for a story too when Papa walked in and told all of us to go back to sleep. Love our boy, Mama, Papa, and Cookie
