Nash's recent obsessions...

So I don't have much to blog on but I did want to write a few things about our little 2.5 year old. He is growing so fast and I am starting to see my baby slip away into a little boy. He still isn't talking to much but he does have a few cute little phrases. My favorites are "Mom, are you?" (mom where are you?) as he is coming down the stairs. Then he says "what oooin?" (what you doing?). Then when I get after him or when he is sad he says "Help Daddy!" or "Daddy, Work, HOME!" He is pretty shy about his speech and really anxious to speak in front of people. This is mostly why his speech is coming so slowly. Nash's English reminds me of what I was like learning Spanish! When he is nervous or does not know what to say he will just blurt out "ANIMALS!" it is such a crack up!
Here are a few of Nash's recent Obsessions:

#1 "Little Buzz"

This is Nash's favorite toy "little" as in little Buzz.
Not to be confused with "big" or Big Buzz (pictured below).

Nash carries "little" everywhere. He is always flying on elephants or dragons, fighting dinosaurs, and rescuing pigs/cows/sheep/etc. Nash loves to "hide" him, then not remember where he is hidden. That is how we lost "Woody" which is a toy we do not talk about anymore because he is NO WHERE to be found! SO when I see Nash carrying "little" I try to keep my eyes on where he is going so I know where to find him when a distraught Nash comes searching.

He still loves running in circles. And will do this for up to 15 minutes if I do not re-direct him.

Obsession #2 "that one" or the IPOD Touch.

I have to use this in secret. The minute Nash sees it he can not resist holding it. I think he knows how to use it better then I do. Today he came up to me saying "watch dinosaurs" when I looked at the screen he had opened the internet and was on the Netflix page. HOLY COW! I had this thing for months before I decided I was smart enough to use it.

Obsession #3 "DADDY"

This is what we see everyday when Darin comes home from work. I don't know who is more excited to see who. Darin has been doing some long days lately and he hardly gets to see Nash. When he is home he puts Nash to bed. (falls asleep with Nash) Then in the morning we have a sad little boy who can't find his daddy. We usually call Darin in the morning so Nash can say Good Morning. It seems to help him not be so sad.

He is such a sweet boy, and we are so grateful to have him in our lives. I don't know what we would do with out his silly little smile, and mischievous little laugh.
