Nash's modified army crawl

G.I. Nash

Ready or not...Here he comes!!!

Nash's first Christmas

On Christmas Eve we had our traditional dinner of Broccoli Cheddar soup in a bread bowl.  Then we listened to the Polar Express while Grandma Peg flipped the pages of the book.  Nash rang the Christmas bell right on cue at the end of the story.  Christmas morning we all got up early to open gifts...Megan, Jason, Nash, Great Grandma Phyliss, Grandpa Rick, Grandma Peg, Whitney, Evan, Will, Daniele, and even Daizy and Memphis.  Nash, of course, opened an overwhelming number of gifts and enjoyed tearing up the wrapping paper into tiny shreds.  We spent the rest of the day relaxing and being thankful for our friends and family.

Nash's right front tooth has now broken the surface however it is not really visible yet.  He is getting very good at the modified army crawl and the other day he even said "DaDa."  Jason has been smiling and rubbing it in ever since.

Overview of the last nearly ten months...

Nash Charles Wentland was born February 23, 2008 surprising his Mommy and Daddy twelve days early.  He had very dark hair and weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long.  He looked a lot like Mommy but since then his hair has lightened up and many people say he looks more like his Dad.  He is nearly ten months old now and it has gone by SO fast.  It's definitely been a learning experience but we are loving every minute of it.  He is mimicking our actions now and loves to point at things.  He has three teeth however it looks like more will be popping through soon.  He just recently started a very modified army crawl which I have a video of and hopefully can figure out how to post it for you.  He weighed 19 pounds 8 ounces at his last appointment.  He is in the 50th percentile for weight and 40th for height.  I'm not sure where head circumference ended up this time but he has been in the 60th percentile during past visits.  His next doctor's appointment will be in February, right before his 1st birthday.

Lets give this a try

OK, this is our first blog.  We have been using a different site to post pictures for everyone to see but I thought this might be  a new, fun way for everyone to check in and see what we've been up to.  Hang in there with me while I stumble my way around the "blogging" world.  Should be fun!
