Family Reunion

Last weekend Nate was introduced for the first time to the majority of his living maternal relatives in lovely Owls Head, at the spacious Burgess Compound. Nate was passed around like a hot dish most of the time, admired for his cuteness and pleasant nature. As expected his grandmother got him some new duds (check out the hoodie)and a cool busy box with Sesame Street characters that sing songs when they pop up. Gram has yet to purchase or trashpick a toy for Nate that doesnt make noises. Does Gram hate me? I fully expect to visit someday to find that Gram found a great deal on a drumset or a My First Explosives kit and simply had to get it for Nate.

Anyway, here is Nate laughing at his Great Aunt Irene:



Nate has recently learned to use his pointer finger to poke at things gingerly prior to punching them with his fist. Here he demonstrates some poking at the aforementioned busy box:



Here is Nate still playing with the Sesame Street busy box, aided by Uncle Nick and Aunt Sarah. I think they want one (a busy box, not a Nate):
