Nathan drinks 3 cups of whole milk daily.  His food loves:  Cheerios and yogurt. I'm still struggling with getting him to eat different foods.  Sadly I have to man handle him and force food into his mouth.  This past week he's been perfectly fine after it's in his mouth and realizes it's actually good.  Sunday I got lucky and he willingly ate 1/4 of a waffle for breakfast and a small bowl of cream of broccoli soup for lunch.  But it's a real struggle because more often than not he'll suck on new foods for a minute or so and then spit it out.  Obviously he is no where close to where he needs to be eating wise so Dr. Hirsch wants us to start giving him vitamins.  Although I know getting him to take them will be a struggle as well. 

He sleeps 11 hours each night and takes one 1 hour nap.  I've been very fortunate that he goes down without a fuss and wakes up with the sweetest disposition; I love hearing him wake up and start having a conversation with Elmo until we come to get him.

He's running and climbing on EVERYTHING. He plays well by himself but he also plays with Justin, Aiden and Ariana.  He's also becoming more interested in books; we're starting to find him tucked away in a corner flipping through the pages.  He has a vocabulary of about 5 words:  mama, dada, cat, hi, yay, car and he just recently started saying "all done".  He's also starting to mimic a lot of what his big brother does.
