After we came back from Arizona, Nathan picked up right where he left off and began to take more and more steps. By 18 months, he's walking everywhere and carrying things as if he's been doing it forever. No more crawling! He's also very good at getting down from the couch and bed, and going down the stairs. Our little boy is growing up so fast. He really hates doctor checkups. I had to bribe him with veggie chips (his new love) just to get him to sit on the scale. By the time the doctor came in, we were all out of veggie chips and it was like getting a wild dog to stay still. Nathan was 31 inches and weighed 20 pounds, 10.5 ounces.
His new favorite TV show is now Blue's Clues and he likes to imitate Steve's hand movements in the song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghBHbe6VGac I have it memorized so I can perform it on demand when he wants to be entertained in the car. Now that he's walking comfortably, we try to go to the playground whenever the weather is nice so he can walk around and play outside.
It was such a treat to have Sof and the boys come visit for a few days. We had fun playing indoors, going outside to the playground, watched TV shows, ate yummy snacks. And when the boys were asleep, we had a little bit of quiet sister time! I'm still amazed she took the 2 boys by herself on a 10 hour train ride and stayed in a B&B in Brooklyn for 2 nights.

| What a great climber, John Mark! I had so much fun playing with him. He is super smart and funny, and comes up with creative games like his mom. |

I love the way you put things: "it was like trying to get a wild dog to sit still." Hahahha. Cute pics. Isn't this a fun age?! My favorite months are 18-24!!!!
