Even though Jeremy wants Nathan to have a cute shaggy hairstyle, we thought it was getting a little long on the sides and in the back.  Momma had a hair appointment on Saturday, so Nathan and daddy tagged along and Laresa gave Nathan a little trim.

He got to wear a special cape.

Just a little off the sides, please.

Nathan tried really hard to sit still, but there was just too much going on so Momma had to help a little.

Gotta get rid of that baby mullet!

Nathan was a really good boy and survived his first hair cut.  He even received a certificate to commemorate the event.  And, of course, Momma saved some of his hair for the baby book.

Nathan is getting so close to walking.  He can stand by himself really well and has learned how to use his arms to balance himself to keep from falling.

Tyler allowed Nathan to borrow a little car that he used when he was learning how to walk.  It has a horn, which Nathan loves to push over and over and over and over again.

Nathan really enjoys pushing the car around the house, up and down the hallway.

Look, momma…one hand!

In honor of Nathan’s 10 month “birthday” yesterday, daddy and I came up with a top 10 list.  So, without further ado, from the home office in Kansas City, MO, here are the 10 Top Ten Things You Might Not Know About Nathan…

10.  Nathan is quite fond of Duran Duran and other 80s groups.  The kid has great taste in music!

9.  Nathan is addicted to the pink-ness of Frankenberry cereal.

8.  Bath time is no longer fun time for Nathan.  It is “I-want-to-stand-up-and-play-with-the-faucet” time.  Hopefully this will change.

7.  Nathan can’t go to sleep at night without his lovey bear.  We’ve tried.  It doesn’t work.

6.  We cannot be anywhere near a stair without Nathan wanting to climb up.  The problem is that he hasn’t learned how to get back down yet.

5.  My name is Nathan…I like to dance!  Seriously, he’s got some rhythm.

4.  For reasons yet unknown, there are certain songs that cause him to start giggling uncontrollably.

3.  Nathan’s hair has not decided what color it wants to be.  Some days it’s red.  Some days it is blond.  Others it looks brown.

2.  Dog food is apparently delicious because unless we deprive Stella of her much-needed meals, Nathan will constantly insist on eating her food.

1.  Step by step, every day Nathan gets that much closer to achieving Jeremy’s dream of him becoming a world-class break dancer.  (That means he’s getting closer to walking.)

So, there you have it, folks.  I’ll leave you with two parting shot.  The first picture of of mom and her friends and has nothing to do with Nathan.  The second picture is of Nathan and his new best friend (sort of).

Last Tuesday momma had a girls night out and went to the NKOTB concert.  That’s right, New Kids on the Block.  It was awesome!  Momma hadn’t been out in a long time and we all had a great time.  I had to share because, did I mention it was awesome?!?!

Stella is starting to tolerate Nathan more.  I’m not going to use the work like quite yet, but I think we will get there.  It helps that Nathan is always very willing to share his food with her.  This picture was taken after Stella’s new haircut.  She looks so pretty!
