T-shirt weather, yay!

It's so nice out! The sun is shining and there are people walking around the neighborhood in t-shirts. It's funny though because it's only 30F.

Nathan had his 9 month checkup last week. He's surprisingly average with his physical stats. We think he's really big but it's actually all in his chest and shoulders. He's 28" long, 19lbs. 13oz., and his head is 45.8cm (18"). According to ParentsCanada, Nathan will be 5'10" and 156lbs. when fully grown. The height prediction I can understand, but not the weight. That's way too thin, in my opinion! Too bad they can't predict how smart he'll be based on his head size, haha.

Nathan is advanced as far as development goes. He's cruising like a pro, feeding himself finger foods, clapping his hands, babbling all the time, pointing out the correct pictures in his book when you ask him "where is the...". He's been practicing his waving lately too. We're working on "bye bye" and "hello" while waving and the word "gentle" when it comes to playing with our cat. She's scratched him a few times but she seems to enjoy his attention. My goal is for him to be able to learn what "gentle" means and not pull her fur every time she lets him touch her.

He can climb up stairs and has been able to get down a step on his own. We've finally got the stairs blocked off with a big piece of 2" thick styrofoam insulation. There's no way to mount a baby gate on the stairs going up so we had to improvise. We cut a hole in it so the cat can get to her food and litter box. We left one step free so he can still climb up a little.

My teen is doing well. He's applied at a few places and I think he's got a good chance at getting a job at one of them. He's still lonely but I think once he gets into the workforce he'll make friends. He's shown an interest in archery so he's been looking around for archery events/clubs that he can attend.

Hubby is doing well too. He's been back from Sweden for a week now. He was able to get a lot accomplished while he was there and his boss seems happy about all the work they got done. I think he'll be promoted soon which will be nice! I'm also thinking about looking for work for the evenings and every other weekend so that would be even nicer, financially :)

I bought a Wii today! I haven't hooked it up yet but I'll have hubby do it later. I'm excited!

That's it for now :) Make sure to check out Nathan's new pictures! I hope to upload some videos soon too.

New pictures up!

It's been a while, but I will make a new post soon! In the meantime, here are a few new pictures of Nathan.

Hope everyone is well!

It's so nice to see the sun!

It's been pretty nice here the past few days. We had a little snow earlier but the sun has been out for a day or two. It's still very chilly but at least there's sun!

My teen and I had a few issues earlier this week but things seem to be better. He applied for a few jobs yesterday which I'm happy about :)

Nathan is doing good. He had a rough week too with all the stress in the house recently but we're all making an effort to have good days. It hurts me to see everyone on edge. I'll explain more later.

I miss my hubby but he'll be home on Saturday, yay! He calls me every night :)

More soon. Hope everyone is well.
