Big storm coming & updates

We're supposed to be getting the strongest storm of the season tonight and tomorrow. Yay. Actually I'm sort of looking forward to it. I've cancelled my two appointments that I have tomorrow in anticipation of the storm and I'm all set to be stuck at home for a few days.

I haven't made a "normal" post in a while so thought I'd do that while Nathan is sleeping.

Things around here are a little hectic now that Nathan is mobile. He is ALWAYS moving! He pulls himself up on everything and can even climb the stairs now. We're kind of in a predicament though because if we put up a baby gate to block the stairs then our cat won't be able to get to her litter box that's up there and her box that's downstairs is already blocked off by the other baby gate. So we're trying to figure out what to do. We've got the coffee table in front of the stairs now to prevent Nathan from climbing up and that seems to work. It sucks having to move the table all the time though but at least our cat can poop when she needs to, haha.

Nathan is still sleeping 12 hours a night. He rarely wakes up anymore at odd hours for a bottle. It's really nice to be able to sleep through the night! He's up every day around 7am then down for a nap mid-morning, usually. He was up until noon today so he probably won't be taking his normal afternoon nap.

His two bottom teeth are coming in nicely and he's got quite a head of hair. It was a light blonde but it seems to be darkening up a little and we still see hints of red. He still eats jarred food but we give him little bits of our dinner if it's safe (no peanuts, egg whites, etc.) and he also has his own little puffs that we give him after he's had his meal. We're also trying to introduce a sippy cup. He can't figure it out yet, but we fill it with water and put it on his tray with his little puffs. It almost always ends up on the floor along with most of the puffs, but he'll get better with time.

That's it for now. I'd like to do a few things around the house while I can. I hope everyone is well :)

  1. He can make it up the stairs?? WHOA! You DO have a mobile little critter don't ya?

    So cats won't jump over baby gates? I was thinking of putting one up so that my cat doesn't go upstairs.

  2. Not sure about other cats but mine won't jump over the gate we have up now. She's never been a very confident jumper though, lol.
