Nathaniel

You are all perhaps wondering, "doesn't Tracy have two babies, why have we only heard of one?"

Well, at 3 and a half months old Nathaniel is not doing a whole lot worth blogging about. He still sleeps a lot, but besides that does mostly the usual baby things.

That said, there are some things to tell about him regardless. He has rolled over once or twice on several different occasions. It has gone from Accidental Roll Overs While In Dire Distress to Purposeful Roll Overs. He is only able to do it from tummy to front and only two or three at a time. But it is an exciting step in his development. Here he is getting ready to go over.
It is often amazing how, even at this young age, one is able to see marked differences in character/personality between children. For example, Edmund did not begin using a pacifier until he was about maybe 5 months old, I can't remember for sure, but he definitely was not using it at three months. Nathaniel on the other hand is quite attached to his pacifier and we are in big trouble if we don't have one with us where ever we go. Nathaniel came down with a cold on Tuesday. Poor little guy, his nose is runny/stuffy and his eyes are red and watery. Yesterday was the worst, so I hope that means he is on the mend. You could just look at him and tell that he was feeling miserable! What a trooper, he is. So it is plenty of sleep and a liquid diet for my little sick boy! ;)

L. Was that humor purposeful? "Liquid diet." You've had him mostly on meat and potatoes recently, right, but he needs to de-tox?

Hi Jared and Tracy,

We did stick around Rolla; we actually live in Licking ourselves. Looks like you two have a nice family going:) Congrats!

Nathaniel is like Edmund Jr.! He's adorable. Henry just got over a cold too, it is miserable when your baby is sick!
