Nathanial is 10 months old and into everything. He keeps us on our toes. He finally got his bottom 2 teeth this weekend.

I can't believe how fast he is growing up

Well we are back from are whirl wind trip to London. We saw all the family and spent a lot of time touring the sites. Nathanial was a hit with everyone and was so good. He took 2 steps by himself while we were there and then fell down. He loves to play with mommy and daddy and enjoyed spending time with his cousins.  We came back from London with colds but thats because the weather there was so nice and it is so cold here.

Hi there from London,

I arrived in London on Valentines day and have been busy all the time, I am staying with my cousins Paul,Jayne,Zac and Dalya. I have gone siteseeing with my mommy and daddy and have seen buckingham Palace,Westminster Abby,The London Eye,Big Ben, and Picadilly Circus. I have travelled on the underground here and it is fun. I still have not adjusted to London time but am sleeping lots and have even stayed up all day, I am teething as well so I am not so happy in the evenings.

Nathanial is getting ready to go on his first plane ride, as we are going to visit our family in England. Of course mommy is very very excited, both Nathanial and daddy will be visiting for the first time. Nathanial has been waving to everyone, he is getting ready to wave to the Queen.

Last night we went out for dinner to Bellinis in Yorkville and Nathanial came with us at is was his Bubies birthday. He was so well behaved, his aunt walked him around the restaurant and people couldn't believe there was a baby in the restaurant.  He sat in his highchair and watched all the ladies go by and everytime a plate of food came he thought it was for him. For dessert he had Mango Sorbet and loved it.

Nathanial has said his first words and they are MAMA...he crawls around the house MAMA MAMA.. At times he looks at me and says Mama. 

Now we have to work on DADA for Jeff  

Nathanial woke us up yesterday morning at 7:00am babbling and making some noises in his crib. I went to see what he was doing and he was standing in his crib. I couldn't believe it. He was standing and shaking the crib and smiling away. So of course lst night everytime I put him into the crib to sleep he would stand up and smile and not go to sleep. He finally fell asleep in mommys arms at 10:45 but was up 3 times throughout the night impressed with his new tricks. We had to take off the bumpers because the mattress has to go down and daddy will be doing that later.

Nathanial has had a rough week, On wednesday he became sick with fever and other elements. Thursday we went to the doctor and on Friday he was put on antibiotics. It is so sad to see my little guy so sick. He just lies in my arms and doesn't want to do anything. The usual smile is not onhis face, his chatter is to a minimum and the ever so energentic little boy is not there. I hope that this antibiotic works.  Right now he has a urinary tract infection and on top of that it looks like he is really teething. He is pulling at his ears a lot and his gums are really white.

My poor little guy.
