Nathan officially a LUMP!
In contrast to yesterdays miserable weather it is blue sky and sunshine today! Today Nate had his 9 month checkup (He is on 8.5 months old but nevermind) and he is now officially a big lump at 8.82kg or 19lb7. According to the health visitor he is absolutely spot on what he should be and she has no worries...
We also have more big news but I'm not allowed to discuss it online -sorry to be so cryptic but mentioning it here will remind me to tell the parents...

An Earful and a mouthful...
It is a rotten day - wind howling, rain pouring - so we pinched punched Mum on the phone (Dad got me - damn him!) and then pinched punched Kris too. By this point, John had decided he would not be leaving the house today and I decided today would be a bathrobe day. Luckily when we ran out of baby cough mixture John insisted that he go so the world was spared me in my bathrobe...
Nate is currently insisting he can hold his bottle while drinking his bottle in the morning. He is getting better and better at it so this morning I let him while I read an email. When I turned back he had a ear completely full of milk and I had to turn him on his side to let it drain out. His cold is really making him really tired so much so that he had 2 naps today, slept late and went to bed lightly early. He also achieved a spectacular (for spectacular read messy) feat of yawning, sneezing and coughing all at the same time while keeping his mouth open to receive a mouthful of food. He was a bit put out when I couldn't get it in his mouth as I was laughing too hard.

A Legal child and a bat baby in training
So on Friday we went and reregistered Nathan so he is boringly legal now... Afterwards we headed to the shops to take something back and then as we were so near headed to Mum's to pick up my coat which had my camera in the pocket. The boys was now STARVING so we all decamped to the Grantley for lunch. Nathan was a bit stroppy (he had missed his nap afterall) but didn't kick up too much of a stink when he found the fishy whales he order were actually fishy rockets.
To make up for his bad behaviour he blew kisses a lot
something that grandad can also do
Asterwards we headed homewards via the supermarket to buy some pumpkins but could only find really little ones. Nathan can now easily sit in the trolleys but his feet are more fascinating than shopping...
Today after lunch Nate and I packed trick or treat bags (his help was invalueable). (yes the father christmas in the background is still there from last year - we aren't that organised)
His cold is still niggling so, we had planned to carve pumpkins with him letting play with the gucky innards but he had a second nap instead and was much better for it but we carved them for him (John did Nates) and a damned fine job we did too! Just as we finished Nate woke up and was very impressed with our efforts
Is there anything more threatening than pumpkins on wheelie bins?
In appreciation he got all dressed up!
