Nate enjoyed having his Uncle Joe and Aunt Rachel in town last weekend. They came with us to the Great Grill Off VI, where Chuck tied for third place with his Anazasi "We're All Human Beans" Burgers. Yet again, Nate played the role of social butterfly, flirting with the ladies and giggling with his daddy. He seemed to adore Joe while he was visiting, which was really cute because I think that Nate looks a lot like Joe did as a baby.
At his five-month doctor's appointment, Nate's head is still in the 97th percentile, which is OK because it remained stable. Just as I suspected: giant brain = giant head, duh. However, we've been noticing a dark spot in Nate's iris since he was about a month old. We always assumed that it was simply because his eyes were turning from blue to brown, and that is likely the case, but our pediatrician said we should see a pediatric opthamologist just to confirm. His appointment isn't until the end of October, and we're not too concerned because as his eyes get browner, the spot is less noticeable.
Nate can pretty much sit up on his own now, though we have to watch him closely because he has no qualms about falling over. In fact, he thinks it's funny ... until he bonks his head.

Hey Nate, it's uncle Joe... I must say it has been nice not having to listen to the Sound of Music song over and over again on car rides! I also don't miss the classical music in the car either :) I do miss making you laugh, as I am sure your mommy has told you, no matter how much you try to ignore me and not laugh.... it is IMPOSSIBLE! Mommy and autie Katie have been trying for years and have finally faced that fact that uncle Joe is a comedian! I can't wait to see you again over Christmas! In the mean time, please feel free to spray mommy with poopie!!
