Lots of 'Firsts'

The first 9 months of Nash's life have been full of excitement.  We have enjoyed him so much!  He reached all of the milestones he should have.  He got his first tooth at 3 months and had 8 teeth by 6 months!  He rolled over, started crawling (after lots and lots of practice), sat up after he started crawling and currently pulls himself up on everything.  He has a very unique way of crawling, he uses his knee on the left side and foot on his right.  Its very cute and he is really fast :)  He gets into everything!  He says "mama, dada, baba, and nana."  Just for the record, he said "mama" first :)  We are currently working on waving bye-bye and dancing.  He loves playing with other kids and our puppies.  His favorite things to do are play basketball (with his own little hoop) and go on long walks with his mommy.  We also had a great time at his first Tulip Time.  He was very handsome in his Dutch costume.  We even got to be in the parade!

This last week, he had a lot of big 'firsts'.  We went to Florida to meet Dr. Paley  for the first time, so he had his first airplane ride.  He did very good!  He didn't cry once and made lots of friends.  He's a little flirt :)  He visited the ocean for the first time.  That was fun but he wasn't sure about it.  He loved the sand and water but it was REALLY hot!  We stayed with our friend Sarah while we were in Florida, and she became his first girlfriend ;)  He was on a roll!

When we went to visit Dr. Paley's office, everyone was SO nice.  We immediately felt at home.  Everyone welcomed us individually and even the people in the waiting area were friendly.  We met a woman in who introduced herself and offered to help any way she could while we were in town.  Her son was being treated by Dr. Paley and she lived in the area.  She asked if she could give Nash her phone number so he could call her the next time we were in town.  I guess that would count as his first phone number from a girl!! :)
