Two things for today 1) Can Toddlers grow a couple of inches in one weekend? I say that because both Mike and I noticed this morning that Nate's head is officially above the top of the high chair when he's sitting in it.... His budda belly has receded- so I'm thinking that he grew out and then UP! AND I thought I'd be good for a bit with 18month clothing... I'm noticing that 18 month onesies might not last us much longer....he's too long.... I put one on him this morning and it looks like a scoop neck tee shirt! AHHHH!!! So either I"ll have to go with shirts that aren't onsies, or get some 24month shirts... luckily it looks like the 18mon pants will last a little while longer. No wonder he had a crabby night on Saturday night- he must have been growing! I asked him this morning to get me the pig (small plastic animal) and he went and found it and brought it to me. He waves, he blows kisses regularly now. He knows how to smell flowers, and he can identify his slippers from his shoes. He makes a "fishy" face, and can currently (though not regularly yet) make sounds for: duck, dog, cow and a pig. And, he says "Touch Down" for any sports what so ever. I have a video clip of him saying it, though its a weak one- I need to try and catch him saying it like he typically does. (Yes, he says "touch down", though he hasn't said "momma" yet.) He does the sign language symbals for: hungry, eat, all done, juice and down. He can find his head, his nose, his knee, his foot and his belly. And, thanks to Little John, he has the hand gesture for "I don't know". Though last night when we were putting him to bed, and the cat wasn't there (Max typically comes in to say good night), Nate was pointing to where the cat usually sits and was doing the "I don't know/where" gesture-as if to say "Where's the cat?" a complex thought. He amazes us with everything he comes up with. He can point out pictures of- ball, slide, dog, bus, pig, chicken, cow, sheep, monkey, car and a lion. He's also learning to put away his books and toy cars. Anyway, just wanted to share!
ok, and (drum roll please....) the second item I'd like to update you on is...... Nate's cousin (our nephew) will be arriving from Ethiopia within the next 6 weeks! (exact date is TBD at this moment....) Since the adoption is officially, well official, I can post the picture of Kai! :) The family is having a baby shower this coming weekend to help Mel and Kev stock up! :)
That's all for now, I'll try and post some more pictures soon!

I know what you mean about clothes fitting one week and then the next week they are too short or too tight! It is astonishing how fast these little guys grow!
