Nathan can put 2 words together

The doctor said at his well appointment that he is a little behind in his speech and if by mid summer he is not saying more words and putting 2-3 words together, then we would see about talking to a speech therapist.

Well today Nathan and I went to Costco with my mom, and as we were shopping Nathan was eating an apple I had brought. When he ate the last bite, I threw my hands in the air and said "All gone" All of a sudden he threw his hands up and said "All gone" It was the most adorable thing I have heard. Mom and I both paused and looked at each other in amazement. It threw me of guard, and I was not excepting it.

Of course trying to get him to say it again it work. He seems to play this game, after saying something new, if will NOT say it again for some time, knowing you want him to do it. He is so stubborn. I think by mid summer he will be just fine. He chats (blabble) all day long. I think he will take off soon.

Nathan knows his letters

Nathan had me in tears tonight. We were at Bed Bath & Beyond waiting for gift wrapping, and while we were waiting Nathan was on my lap and staring at all the words on the shopping cart. I proceeded to ask him where different letters were. He pointed to each letter I called out. My lil man knows his letters. I can't believe it. He is SO smart!!!!

Nathan's first time drinking from a straw

Nathan figured out how to drink from a straw today.

My mom and I were at grandma's house and we had pop from White Castles. Nathan kept trying to grab the straw to have a drink. Of course since it's pop my mom kept saying NO. Well I said let him try, it's not like he will get anything, he doesn't know how to drink from a straw. Well the little sucker proved me wrong. After a few attempts he got some pop in his mouth. We were shocked!!!! He started clapping, and was so proud of himself. It was adorable. Of course we didn't let him have the cup anymore. So when mom and I went to lunch, and Nathan's milk came to the table, I decided to keep the lid and straw on the cup. He did fabulous. I am super proud he figured it out. Now I am going to buy him this Diego straw sippy I seen at Babies R Us. It is really cute, and he LOVES Diego.
