Our Trip to OKC

Sorry it's been a while since I have posted anything. We just returned this week from spending a week in Oklahoma City with my mom and grandma. Nathan liked spending time with his grandma and great-grandmas, however, he did not like to sleep at night. He would scream bloody murder until I would come and get him and put him in bed with me......then of course he immediately fell asleep. So after a week of sleeping with mommy, we had a little bad habit to break when we got home. The first two nights at home was rough. I had to let him cry it out for an hour before he would fall asleep. Boy it's been a while since we've had to do that! He is finally back in his normal sleeping routine and all is well again! :-) We had a good time in OKC, but there's no place like home. Nathan always learns new things when we take him on trips and this one was no different. He learned to say "bananas" (or "nanas"), "water" ("wawa") and "night-night". When he sees a dog, he'll say "ruff ruff" or "bow wow wow". Today he started saying "ba" for "ball". It's really exciting to see him learning to say words now. It's fun to watch him learn and explore and develop his little personality, but as his personality develops, we can see that he is very determined, but with little patience. He gets so frustrated when he can't do something or we are busy doing something and can't play with him right when he wants us to. When he gets frustrated, he screams and we've done just about everything we can to get him to stop and nothing is working. I'm hoping he gets through this phase quickly. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to stop screaming, we are all ears!
