The Whetzel Family: December 2008

I can't believe it....Nate is 2 years old. How quickly time seems to fly. I wanted to write something sappy and really heartfelt on here, but I don't think I have the energy at the moment. I don't have any pictures from Thanksgiving for the majority of us were feeling under the weather, including Nate. I'm still feeling under the weather with a cold. I've had worse, but I'm feeling pretty run down at the moment with not getting a lot of sleep in the past week with Nate's coughing fits in the middle of the night. So needless to say I can't think of anything poetic to write regarding the passage of time etc....All I can say is that we've come so far! Nate knows his numbers 1-10, can sing variations of the alphabet, he knows his basic colors (red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, orange, brown, black and white- we're working on gold and silver) he knows signs for just as many words. He's also been known to spit out 5-7 word sentences already. He can cheer with the best of us for Penn State Football- and knows Penn State by just looking at the symbol! He loves cars and trucks and animals. I'll have "offical" stats after his 2 year apt- which is in like 2 weeks. He loves to terrorize the cat and hates to brush his teeth. He loves the movie Cars and would watch that 24/7 if we let him. He'll use the potty about 50% of the time- he really one asks to go if you ask him if he has to go....so I'm not sure he gets the "urge" yet, but he's learning- on his own I might add. He can put his coat on by himself, and undress himself out of his PJ's quite well. He knows that milk comes from cows, and that the sun went night night when its dark outside.
Ok, enough of my ramblings, here are some much anticipated pictures! Enjoy!
