Such a Big Boy

All of a sudden, Nate seems like such a big boy! Maybe it is because we have a new baby in the house. Or the fact that Nate weighs almost as much as his three-year-old brother (whose weigh plateaued at around 20 months old so we suspect Nate's will probably do the same!). Or possibly because he repeats everything we say and has really developed his own personality over the past few months. Well, whatever it is, our little Nate suddenly seems like a true toddler instead of a baby. All he wants to do is run around and play with his brother; it seems like he doesn't stop moving all day long!

Recently, Ben "donated" his first backpack to Nate, now that Ben has his own school backpack and Nate was playing with this little backpack often anyways. So, Nate is thrilled with his new treasure. Anything his big brother plays with is "cool" in Nate's eyes :). Nate loves wearing his backpack and telling us "Bye-bye. Nate...school," pretending that he is going to school. Poor little guy desperately wants to go to school like his big brother, but for the next two years he'll have to pretend :).

Here are a few fun shots I took of him with his backpack, smiley as usual and of course, showing off those big baby blues!
