Playing drums with his daddy; this always brings a smile

Nathan turned 20 months on April 18th so I am a little late in posting but I am mainly doing it for myself so I wont forget any of the details. I don't know when you stop counting your child's age by months but I don't think I will until at least 24 months and then I just may have to say 2 years and such. By that time I will have a newborn and will be counting his age by weeks for awhile so that will keep me busy. Enough of my rambling. Some fun new stats about Nathan:
-warmer weather means shorts and for active little boys like Nathan that means lots of scraped knees
-he was finally started saying "yes" for somethings instead of "NO" to everything even when he means "yes". It sounds more like "yeah" but we can work on that
-he is learning his colors and say each color correctly when watching his color movie but in the real world he is stuck on saying "blue" or "black" with the occasional "red". He makes blue and black into a 2 and sometimes 3 syllable word but it is quite cute
-his daddy is teaching him how to count and right now he loves to say "2" and "9". I'm not sure where the other numbers went but Dan is doing a good job teaching him during bath time
-he loves to "shoot" his basketball and throw or kick any other ball. we are starting to learn how to catch
-he absolutely adores dandelions and loves to blow them. he calls them dan-lions
-we are having an absolutely wonderful time with him and love playing outdoors with all the nice weather

I just included some random pictures that make me smile.
