I melt every single time. Who wouldn't?
My little Nate has always been cuddly and lovable. He still is! When he first started crawling he would crawl away, but then come back just to touch me and then go off exploring again. He still does that in his more grown-up way. He likes to know where I am and to just check in. He is good for a "tight hug" or a kiss on the cheek anytime I think I need one.
While he is only two years old, he seems so grown up. He refused to be called a "yittle boy" because he is BIG. He tries to do anything Ben does, but doesn't always have the guts to follow through. At the same time, he frequently plays the baby card and tries to get me to help him with things he knows he can do.
He gets all the attention when we are out and about. His big blue eyes and dimples make all the waitresses chat a little longer. People frequently stop me in the grocery store to comment on how cute he is. He just ducks his head and flashes those dimples, playing right into it!
He is completely fascinated with "mighty mega monster trucks" right now. He and Ben build impressive monster trucks out of their lego set and race them all over the house - with full sound effects. He knows a lot of dinosaur names and says those big long "saurus" words in his little two year old voice.
He likes to run everywhere he goes and has the cutest little run. Neither of my boys have a very polished run - they get that from me. No form. No speed.
We still battle his eczema and some days it is much worse than others. Just today he ate a mini red velvet cupcake and immediately broke out and was itching horribly. That was our first experience with a food coloring break out. He is still eating little to no dairy and we use little to no soap at bathtime. Vegan cheese is totally nasty in my opinion, but he loves it. Ick. He uses a prescription cream almost every night on his wrists, inside of his elbow, inside of his knees and ankles. He cannot wear any shoes without socks which meant no flip flops or sandals again this summer. He is famous for asking, "Is that soy?" when talking about any new food being offered. He has learned cheese and cow's milk "makes my skin itch." I still have hope that he will grow out of it! For now, we just manage it.
My baby boy isn't so much of a baby anymore, but he brings such great joy to our lives!
