On Saturday we had all our family and our friends the Smiths, over for a birthday celebration. We ordered pizza and had cake and ice cream. The kids played and the adults chatted. We had lots of fun and Nathaniel raked in lots of gifts. He loved being the center of attention!
At three years old Nathaniel has grown leaps and bounds in a year! Nathaniel speaks in sentences, but does have a few difficulty with the letters s, l, and f. The cutest thing is the way Nathaniel says Samuel's name. He says, "Hamuel" instead. He is obsessed with Thomas and all his train pals too. He spends most of his day playing with his train table making each train talk to each other. His personality has cemented itself as well. He is a performer and loves to make people laugh and to have people watch him. He is a social butterfly and loves to be around people. His love language is physical touch and quality time. He is always giving hugs, kisses, crawling into our laps, playing with my hair while he sits next to me watching TV. It melts my heart! He's also very compassionate and cares for others. He gets so sad when he sees other kids cry or get hurt. When anyone leaves our home Nathaniel says, "Be careful, theres cars." Nathaniel is now beginning to phase out his naptime. He naps maybe 3 out of 7 days, but I still give him rest time in his room and he is content to lay in his bed and sing, talk, roll around a bit. Mommy still needs nap time! Nathaniel enjoys praying at meals, nap time and when he gets a boo boo. I hope Lesh and I can continue to instill a love of learning about God and prayerfully he will come to know the Lord at a young age.
We took Nathaniel for his three year checkup and he weighs 36lbs. 87% and is 3'3" tall 85%. He is healthy and doctor said he looked great!
Nathaniel we love you so much and are so proud of you!!!
