Poor sick baby and our busy Fall

Nathan decided that projectile puking all over Daddy's car/backseat, Daddy, the carseat, and, well, pretty much anything in front or around him for 6 hours would be a great way to spend a Tuesday night. We ended up taking him in to get something to stop the vomiting at about 10pm. He was was trooper. We also discovered that he had an ear infection (nope, he hadn't shown and signs). I have him home with me today and he's doing great. Such a sweet boy, even when sick. He has slept most of the day (and hence this post!)

He has lots of new tricks! Most exciting for him is crawling and pulling up to stand! He loves to stand!! Nathan also has several consonants sounds that he babbles. Ba, blah, ga, gaag, da. So cute. His crawling is still slow and not too continuous (he goes about 5-6 feet and then either flops on his belly or sits up). Fine with us! Yes, time to get serious about baby proofing. He also is starting to pick up a little sign language. He occasionally signs for more and we think eat. Hmm, not a big shocker that our chubby baby knows the signs related to EATING MORE!! Ha!!

Nathan is also a technology genius. How do we know? Well, he loves to Skype with Aunt Darby!

We've had a busy month! The CU season is in full force. We've taken Nate to all of the home games so far, including the tailgates and even a night game. He has a great time and is known to take a mid-quarter naps. :) We've got a couple of trips coming up in the Fall. We're heading to the NW at the end of the month, starting with visiting the Hiatts - Amy and Jon recently welcomed baby girl Nora to their family! I can't wait to snuggle her, play with Cecelia, and of course, hang out with Amy and Jon! We will also visit with Nate's great-Aunt Sabra and great-Uncle Jim. And, in true Nellis style, we'll cram more visiting in with a weekend trip up to Seattle to see the Metcalf and Foster/Andrews families! We get to experience the Metcalf Halloween extravaganza. ;) And THEN, Nathan and I are off to CA for Laura's baby shower in mid November and to see Robin, Brian, Benjamin, and Violet. Good times are to be had by all. I am so excited to see my wonderful friends and sweet family and to have our son meet them all! Yahoo! I'm a little anxious about the travel, but hopefully Nathan will exceed my expectations.
