Nate understands everything these days, and it's fun to talk to him, ask questions and get answers. What we really love is that he says, "yea" to almost everything. He also eats up attention, any attention, especially from his big sister. He will literally fake injuries and look sad while rubbing the fake injury to get kisses. He also has this cute, new cocking of his head thing where he does it to get whoever he wants to play with/flirt with to do it back to him, and then it just keeps repeating. He is so good at luring people in. He is also big on Elmo these day - not so much TV (he doesn't really sit for it), but he LOVES Elmo music, pictures of Elmo, hokey pokey Elmo and more. He will stand at the stereo and say, "Elmo!" We'll turn it on, and then he will demand "La, la, la" which is "Elmo's Song." It's too funny. He knows what he wants. He also knows what he wants to eat bc he will go into the kitchen and point at "snacks" (the s is silent when he says it) in the cabinet or "Hungry" to the frig. What's great is that he's very patient while we figure out exactly what he wants and will help us get everything ready - for ex, if he chooses yogurt, he points at the silverware drawer so we get a spoon, and then he rushes over to his chair, gets buckled in and then eats independently. It gets pretty messy.
