Things I Like

Nathaniel has started developing likes and playing with us. Besides loving to have conversations...

He likes to have you blow air in his face. He tries to eat the air.

He also loves to be tickled. He always sticks out his belly for more after you tickle him. He also usually gives you a big smile. 

He loves music. We sing a lot and sometimes he tries to sing too. Most of the time he just gives us big smiles for singing to him. His favorites are Disney, Country, Instrumental and Irish. He also likes some current Pop/Rock like Radioactive, he tells us when he wants us to change the song though. He doesn't like many current female singers, like Royals, not a fan. Haha. Same with oldies, not a big fan of most female singers, like My Boyfriends Back, nope can't get away with that. However, he loves the Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. He does not like Daddy's louder rock like Lincoln Park. We tried quite a few times to get a video of him singing or his big smiles while we dance but he won't do it for the camera.

He is very interested in the camera as well. If he notices the camera it is very difficult to get him to go back to what he was doing. I have trouble getting his smiles on camera, even though they are frequent enough, because as soon as he sees the camera he stops to stare at it. That's why he looks startled or scared in so many pictures. It's because he's stopped, wide eyed, to stare at the camera, generally open mouthed. : )
