Nate's Harmonica
Pardon the mess - Nate's been helping me fold laundry and rearrange the furniture and organize the toys - we have differing opinions on where things should go... He'll win while he's awake and then I will fix it!

way way overdue
It has been much too long since I have really updated here, I still won't have time today, but I am working on it! Things to note - Nate is almost 16 months now and is so much fun, he's brilliant and has figured out how to color and play the harmonica this last week or so - its super cute!
Other news, Brooke and Dave are expecting their first baby - a boy- in May. Corrine and Tim are cooking up their 4th due in August, and Kat and Darin are going to have a 3rd in September - also Mallory is having a little girl in a couple months! Lots of babies around. We are going to wait awhile before adding to our family.
Jake's job is going so wonderfully - he is the laptop support technician for Rowland Hall St. Mark's private school and will be getting Apple repair certified soon! I am still working at Smith's pharmacy and doing pretty well there, its a good job and allows me to be home most days, I work 3 days a week. My mom is so great and watches Nate on the overlap of when Jake and I are both at work. Jake is home Saturday's when I work all day and he and Nate get to spend the whole day together and also plays with Grandma and Grandpa Graves. Its so wonderful to have family around!
In other news I have a calling at church of Relief Society Activity committee member and am really enjoying it, I am getting to know the sisters in my ward and its nice to get to know my neighbors! Jake has a calling of Building Coordinator for our ward, so far he isn't really loving it because he doesn't have enough information to do his calling effectively but hopefully he will find out what he needs to so he can feel confident and informed about what he needs to be doing.
Well there is a jumble of info - hopefully I will get around to really updating with pictures and details, but until that happens just know that I am busy chasing my maniac Nate around and absolutely loving every minute of it! Even the early mornings and late nights!

Asking Questions
Nate's vocabulary is very advanced this morning he walked in where Jake was working on his computer looked at him and said "whatcha doin?" He is hillarious. He will ask questions and has some phrases that he always says, we are just waiting for the day that we understand what he's saying.
He will also answer some questions, especially if you ask if he's finished with something, he knows the sign language for it. He also will tell you he's finished with something like getting his nose wiped or diaper changed or being in the car.
His other phrases are still, what is it, who is it, dadadadadada (in a fun laugh voice), moooooommmmaaaa(in a whiney voice) uh oh, quack, roar, ya, no, and so much more that I can't remember right now...

Funny Morning to Mention
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!
