Nicky understands English!

Nicky has really shown in the past few days that he understands a LOT of things:

He says “done” when he’s done eating.  He also says it lots of other times, so he might just say it because he can, just like he says “daddy”.

He loves to point the the photo of Chuck [...]

Nicky speaks English!

He has been saying “da da” for a while, but not really attaching it to Chuck, but it seems like he’s starting to learn the meaning of “da da” and “daddy”. He also says “doggie” and “done”, it’s super-cute!

Bye bye!

We finally realized that Nicky waves bye-bye…he waves to his lips and it’s very cute!

Amazing

I can’t believe it – my baby took his first steps today!  He’s been cruising around the furniture and walls for a few weeks now, and I keep thinking he looks like he’s ready…he walked about 4 or 5 steps in a row to me this morning and did it again a few more [...]

Next, when Nicky was ready to go to sleep last night, he came over to me and sucked his finger, just like [...]

Weight: 20 pounds, 1 ounce (up 7 ounces from his 6-month visit)

His height is still in the 90th percentile whereas his weight has dropped to the 50th [...]

First cold?

I don’t know if Nicky got his first cold last night, or if he just had a bout of allergies.  His nose started running after dinnertime, and by bedtime, it was like a faucet.  He went to bed as usual but woke up around 9:30 all stuffy and unhappy.  Chuck and I ran the [...]

Feeding frenzy

Nicky has been eating about 2-4 cubes of baby food for his meals lately, so I prepared one cube each of mangoes, blueberries and bananas and mixed it with about 2 tablespoonsful of rice cereal for his lunch yesterday.  He did well, so I kept feeding him, making 2 more cubes of mangoes (with [...]
