Yesterday morning at 6:45 Nate was awake and crying, I wondered what was wrong because he usually wakes up happy... So I walked in to his room to see him and he stood up and what a sight, he had no pants on, and had managed to remove his diaper. He was crying because his little bum was cold.
What a crazy boy, I have decided that for now he will either have a onesie on under or jammies with snaps.

Nate's going to kill me but... Not until later
So we have a corner tub that has a little seat in it so when we shower with Nate (its easier than giving him a bath). He sits and plays with his toys on the bench its wonderful, I get to actually shower!
The other day he was playing and all the sudden he stopped and looked down, and discovered himself, and just as carefully as he touches the bird he poked himself, and looked up with this "Oooh" face and then laughed and did it again. So funny.
Sorry if that is over-sharing but I had to document it because it was so funny.

Funny Things
So here are a few funny thing about Nate:
Nate says a few words now
Daddy
What is it - which sometimes sounds like sh*t
Uh Oh
Quack
Rawr
Who is it (which also sounds like swearing)
Boo
and rarely he says mama - usually that is when he's crying
His laugh is hilarious, and is a whole body emotion.
He's got the funniest personality and runs and plays until he drops and then he's out cold.
What an adventure everyday is!
I do need to make a post about his puppy - but we will do that later!

Happy Birthday Baby!
Well its been a whole year, I can't believe it we have been so blessed and sleep deprived it has been wonderful! My little one isn't a baby any longer, he is a little boy. An adorable little boy.
Here is a slide show that shows his first year, I know its long, but it started out at over 600 pictures, so I cut it down lots!
We go to the pediatrician on Monday so I will post his official stats there! I will also post again about what he's up to when I have a bit more time!

If you have access but know someone who doesn't and wants it please have them email me their email addresses cjgraves@gmail.com

10 Months
Well today makes 10 months we have been blessed with Nate in our family! It has been an amazing 10 months, We have loved every minute of it. Nathan is such a blessing to me in my life, being a mother brings me more joy than I could have ever imagined. Everyday I look forward to spending time with my sweet boy, he might get up too early and have too much energy and chew all the books and papers to bits, but he is still the most amazing blessing in my life.
I am loving my new work schedule I get to be home with him 4 days a week and work only 3 days. Jake and I have worked out a way for us to be able to be home with him most days, we still rely on the of help from our wonderful families a couple times a week - and are so blessed to have them close to us. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive!
Living with Jake's parents has blessed us more than I can even explain - being here has saved us from some very hard times. I am so grateful to them for opening and finishing their home to us and for being here when we need them. I don't think we will ever be able to repay their generosity but I hope they know how much we love them and how much it all means to us.
#
Well as for Nathan he is growing up too fast, he is a crawling machine and is cruisin' around all the furniture, he pulls himself up on everything and lets go for a long time before sitting down or grabbing back on to whats around him. He is discovering new things every day - which keeps me on my toes - baby proofing is hard! His top two teeth have come in about 3 times now but seem to be unsure of where they want to be because they go back in. Its so sad because they hurt him and he gets so upset. Hopefully they will just come through and stay out - it would be much better for us all!
He is a great napper, he gets up at about 7am and then takes a nap at 9:30 for 2 hours and then is up until about 2:30 and then takes another 1-2 hour nap and then goes to bed at 8pm its great! (saying that will probably curse me with nights of no sleep and days full of napping which makes it impossible to accomplish anything... but whatever). I haven't weighed him yet but he feels about the same to me but seems to be getting taller, he's thinned out in his hips - its probably only obvious to me because of diaper changing. I will update this with some new stats tomorrow if I can get him to hold still long enough!
He is a jumping bean. Ask anybody - whenever someone holds him he just jumps and jumps and everyone asks if he is always like that and I say yeah, all day! His energy and excitement level is so great, what a bundle of fun!
I will add some pictures and a post about our fun trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago another time!

Letting Go!
So Nate is getting so grown up, I can hardly believe it. He now climbs stairs - we haven't figured out how to go back down yet, but he can climb up all of ours in like 2 minutes (we have 12ish stairs) and he is standing up on his own, he will use something to pull himself up and can now let go for about 10 seconds before sitting down or putting his hands back on whatever he's using to stand.

9 Months and Cruisin!
Well yesterday was Nate's 9 month day, and his check up. He did so great. He is growing up so fast I can't believe it!
He weighs 24 lbs still which is good, he's about 28 inches tall (I am going off memory so it could be a little different) he's in the in high 90%'s on height and head and high 80%'s for height. Everything was great at the appointment - and no shots this time!!! Yeah!
I will add some pictures later to show just how adorable he is, but he's doing great!
Nate is now doing so much he is hard to keep up with, he is crawling so fast and pulls him self up on everything be it the couch the dresser, or a wall and even on very unstable toys - one handed no less. Now that he pulls himself up on everything he is starting to walk across the couch especially if there is a remote or other interesting object around. He puts everything in his mouth like all kids. Of those things he's getting really great at feeding himself the little puffs and other things like bread and really loves watermelon peas and anything he tries.

The best 8 months ever!
Nathan is 8 months old today and so wonderful!
I did my own measurements on his height and weight and he is 24.2lbs and 28 inches tall, a very solid kid! He is on his way to independence, he is crawling so good now, and has figured out how to pull him self up to standing first in his crib and now at the couch. Its super cute, he gets his hands on what he wants to reach and then scoots his knees up closer to it and then he gets all balanced and puts one foot up and then the other. Very carefully so as to not tip over. So smart and studious, he just practiced for like 20 minutes one day on my knees making sure he did it right and carefully, I am glad that he is so smart and developing but I am wondering if I should have tried to deter him from it, because now he's hard to keep out of trouble! Always reaching for the things he shouldn't.
Here's a cute video I took of him pulling himself up.

Unorganized...
I like to think of myself as a very organized person that is on the ball and in control of life and the responsibilities I have. Well, I can't seem to get myself organized anymore. I have so much paperwork that I am having a really hard time getting things straightened out. I get so many statements from doctors and insurance companies and I am supposed to keep them just in case and some I have to submit to secondary insurance and on and on. I am having a really hard time getting them in order... That is just one of the things I can't get caught up on. Any suggestions would be great! I can't seem to get caught up on that, laundry, dishes, sleep, and all other cleaning/organizing...
I need to get it figured out because its making me so stressed out that I am always sick and I am a bit snippy to my sweet hubby
- sorry dear -
not to mention all the stress eating and too much diet coke to try to cope with me feelings of anxiety and stress!
HELP ME!!!

Illness
Well as most of you know Nathan and I are sick... It all started Wednesday of 2 weeks ago, Nate got a cough and really congested. So we set up the humidifier, tortured him by sucking out his nose and did all the things you can do for a sick little one. By the Wednesday after that he was worse and I thought, ok if this is a virus should be improving, but no he was getting worse.
So we went to the doctor. They did a bunch of things, checked his oxygen, his ears, his lungs, his nose and throat, they even did a chest X-ray to make sure he didn't have pneumonia. Then they said keep doing what you are doing, if by Friday he's not improved call/come in again and we will look at him... So Friday, no improvement. We call and wait for a return call, by the time they got back to me (because I called again) it was pretty close to their closing time and Jake couldn't make it in. So Monday rolls around and he is still miserable, not sleeping well, coughing lots and crying, which he doesn't do. Jake gets off work early so he can take him to the doctors, they say that they think he will just get better... He was still getting worse... So by Wednesday I was so exhausted and starting to feel ill myself, I took him back again. I would have demanded an antibiotic but tada he has an ear infection so I don't have to beg, they prescribe him one! Yeah!
Rewind one day, Tuesday, I left work early because I was feeling so crummy, Wednesday morning I get up I am hacking, have a terrible sore throat, and basically no voice. So I should have had the doctor check me out or give me an antibiotic too, but he said yeah you probably got the same virus, which to me ment wait 2 weeks and then come back if you aren't better. Which is fine, I get it too many antibiotic will make them less effective. No problem. Wednesday night I am getting worse and worse, so I do what I can and get my shift covered at work for Thursday because I knew I wouldn't make it. I thought ok rest all day and I will be better for Friday's work.
Boy was I wrong.
At about 9:00 Thursday night I started throwing up, I hadn't really eaten much all day, but it was still really bad. (Thank you Jake for helping me) So nobody got much sleep last night, and when I got up at about 5 to blow my nose I thought for sure my ear was going to explode. So I went out and laid on the couch on my other side and I could literally feel the fluid in my ear moving to the other side, it was so full that just sitting up made it drain so much I could feel it. I hoped it would get better, yeah not so much. At noon today I couldn't stand it any longer so Jake took me to the insta care in Riverton, and boy were they awesome! I got in fast, they looked in my ears, nose, throat, listened to my lungs and pushed on my face and asked some questions...
When she looked in my ear, she was like wow that is bad, are you allergic to any antibiotics? We are going to give you a shot to get you started immediately on antibiotics and then prescribed a really high dose of Amoxicillin and ear drops and a rinse to gargle for my throat. And a nose spray to clear out my sinuses.
So there is my long story of our being sick... Hopefully we are all on the mend now and we are keeping our fingers crossed that Jake doesn't get it too. Its miserable.
I must thank Jake for taking such good care of me and Nathan in our time of illness. I love you!

4 months... (A little late)
Well I forgot to post about Nate's 4 month check up, he is doing great!
As of February 26th
His weight 17.25 lbs, which is in the 88.36th percentile, he started out in the 9.96th percentile.
His length is 24.75 in, which is in the 42.16 percentile, he started out in the 42nd.
His head circumference is 17 in which is in the 73.67 percentile, he started out in the 38.49 percentile.
So he is awesome, he is strong and has excellent motor skills, he is starting to reach for things wants to eat what ever he can reach...
He is also sleeping so good! He goes to bed around 7 or 8 and usually sleeps until 3 or 4 then gets up to eat and then sleeps again until 6:30 or so... Its still an early morning but he is doing so great that its ok with me!
He is also starting to roll pretty good, when motivated. He's so close to going from his back to his tummy on his own, and he will go from his tummy to back especially on the bed. He loves the exersauser we are borrowing from Hill and Steve, thanks guys!
Right now he's got a cold though and its so sad, his little stuffy and runny nose make him cough and gag. It makes me nervous at night so I put him in his boppy so he'd be on an angle a little which keeps things from getting caught in his throat and he seems to be breathing better at night that way. He hasn't had a fever and is generally pretty easy to soothe when crying so I don't think he's got any thing serious, like an ear infection or RSV or anything, but we are keeping close watch over him to make sure he stays healthy. Its sad when he's sick.

Bad Blogger
I have turned into the blogger I don't like. I haven't posted in such a long time. So things are getting into a routine, a more normal routine... Nate is sleeping pretty good, he'll get up once or twice in the night to eat and then goes back to sleep pretty easily! So that is wonderful. Work is getting to be more tolerable, I still struggle with the babysitting schedule, its hard to know that I will spend 1-2 hours driving so that I can go to work and leave my sweetie with someone else. I hate that part, because I get him mostly when he's sleeping.
Thursday's are the worst because I have to work from 1-9 and its especially hard because Jake has to work at 4 the next morning but still has to get him from my parents at 8ish and then when I get home he has to go to bed and its still late for him, I am usually up until about 11 then get up again at like 3 or so and then 6 to get ready and leave my house by 7:45 to get to work by 9 on Friday, so for that I don't like Thursday's, maybe one day I will get back to mornings on Thursdays but for now, I am just tired.
I know that its only for now and that one day I will get to spend more time with him and it helps that he gets so excited when he sees me and that I can still get him to calm down better than anyone and get him to sleep when no one else can. He knows I am his mommy, and that I love him.
Jake's foot is healing and he goes to the doctor next Monday and will hopefully be done with the boot and wrap and maybe just get some orthotics or something. School is good as always stressful, too much homework+ not enough sleep is hard on the body and mind.
Valentine's was super romantic though, Jake got his parents to babysit overnight for us and we went down town and had dinner at Happy Sumo and went and saw New in Town and then stayed at The Hotel Monaco, which was very nice! It was good for us to have some married time, not just mom and dad time. Sometimes we get into a rut where we are more like buddies then husband and wife. It was very special to have time to remember how much we love each other. Jake was so sweet and planned it all and I love him so much for all he does for me!
In other news we went to the dentist today, Jake had no cavities, and I had one :( so I have to get a filling next Wednesday. Bummer.
Sorry no pictures tonight, I don't want to go dig out the camera or my cell phone for pictures tonight... Maybe tomorrow. Definitely soon...

Jake's foot is healing and he goes to the doctor next Monday and will hopefully be done with the boot and wrap and maybe just get some orthotics or something. School is good as always stressful, too much homework+ not enough sleep is hard on the body and mind.
Valentine's was super romantic though, Jake got his parents to babysit overnight for us and we went down town and had dinner at Happy Sumo and went and saw New in Town and then stayed at The Hotel Monaco, which was very nice! It was good for us to have some married time, not just mom and dad time. Sometimes we get into a rut where we are more like buddies then husband and wife. It was very special to have time to remember how much we love each other. Jake was so sweet and planned it all and I love him so much for all he does for me!
In other news we went to the dentist today, Jake had no cavities, and I had one :( so I have to get a filling next Wednesday. Bummer.
Sorry no pictures tonight, I don't want to go dig out the camera or my cell phone for pictures tonight... Maybe tomorrow. Definitely soon...

Stress...
Well things have been going so well and so easily that it was time for something to break...
We wouldn't have guessed that it would be Jake's foot.
Yeah so last Friday Jake's foot started to hurt and by Saturday night he could hardly walk, we took him to the insta care on Sunday morning - which was pointless - they didn't XRay it or anything, just prescribed an anti-inflammatory and a mild pain reliever and said to go to a podiatrist.
He did this morning to find out that he has a stress fracture in his foot and will be sporting a lovely boot for a whole month. He will then probably have to get some orthotics or special shoes to help his over-pronation which is what caused the fracture...
Its always an exciting adventure.

3 Months
Well Friday was the 23rd and Nathan is officially 3 months old! I can't believe it, time is going by so fast, and he is getting so big! He is very good at holding his head up when he's on his tummy and sat in a high chair for the first time the other day, it took some blankets to hold him up and he only lasted about 5 minutes, but it was awesome! We went to the pediatrician the other day and he weighed 14lbs 12 oz. That is a whole 8lbs more than his birth weight.
I ran into a family in my ward yesterday and they have a 9 month old baby and she is only like 2lbs heavier than Nate and she looks little compared to him... So we have a big boy! Although he's really not chubby - he's tall and muscly. He loves his baths and playing in his bouncer. He is so good at tracking things with his eyes and he already likes to watch TV...

Here are some snap shots!
This was on Friday night almost exactly 3 month old - like within 20 minutes...

He was trying to roll over - off his changing table...

Rolling by
Time is going so fast, I can't believe that on this coming Friday I will have a 3 month old baby!!! I am such a happy mom and love Nathan so much! I am back at work, which is going alright... I feel like I miss so much when I am at work, but its important for me to be there.
I don't have a video or pictures yet but Nate is learning to roll from his front to back! He can do it on the bed especially when there is some gravity to help him over... I will post footage as soon as I get some!
