My Baby is 3!!!

Well, he actually turned 3 on December 23rd, but since we were in the ER that night and our family has been plagued with illnesses, I'm finally getting around to blogging it for memories sake.

Nate is....

SWEET

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE


SILLY


FUN LOVING


FULL OF PERSONALITY



A MAMA'S BOY


JOSH'S BEST FRIEND


STILL THE BABY!


We love this kid!  He adds so much to our family!  

NATE LOVES....
Puzzles (he will put together the same one over and over for an hour)
Cars (always wants to play cars and loves to crash them)
Josh (always wants to play with his big brother)
Drawing, Coloring & Painting
Going on Walks
Playing at the Park
Jumping on the Trampoline
Playing with His Marble Set (He loves to build towers and watch his marbles roll down.)
School
Primary
Cuddling
Hugs and Kisses
Reading Lessons (I do reading lessons with Josh, Nate started picking up the sounds quickly and insists on getting his own lessons. He knows the sounds to s, m, d, t, e, a, i, r and a few others and can read two to three letter words with these sounds (ie. mad, me, sat, see, am, etc.)
Mrs. Giraffe (This might sound weird, but she is a puppet that I use to teach Josh and now Nate reading lessons.  He really believes she is real.  It is so cute how he talks to her, how excited he is when she is around, how he will tell her about anything, and how much he loves to give her hugs and kisses.)
Food (He eats pretty much everything I give him)
Reading
Counting (He can count to 20 and loves to count objects out of the blue.)
Helping Mommy Cook in the Kitchen
Praying
Whales, Sharks, and Dolphins (Loves to pet the dog-sharks at the Zoo; he has no fear at all.)
Football
Running
Playing Sports
Soccer
Being Funny/Silly 
His Blanket ("blankey")
His Binky (He's only been aloud to have it for naps and bedtime since he was one-years-old, but recently he tries to search for them, climb anything to get them, sneak them into his mouth.  I know he's found one when he's walking around with his blanket on his head while giggling.... he thinks he is so sneaky.)
Attention
Laughing
To be Happy (He is a happy kid and so easy going.  He is happy to do just about anything.)
