So true

This comic was in our Sunday paper and Chuck and I both got a chuckle out of it.

Big-boy room

We put the finishing touches on Nicky’s big-boy room this evening – he’s all set to move in!  He had such a great nap in there this afternoon and told Chuck that he wanted to sleep in there tonight, so we got all ready to get him in there and he decided to go [...]

Vacation

Chuck took a bunch of vacation days this week, so we’ve been busy but having a great time!  On Monday, we went to the park before I had to work that evening.  On Tuesday, we enjoyed a fun day late morning/early afternoon day in the sun at Gruener Beach by Nicky’s pool.  Yesterday, Chuck [...]

Forgot to mention

I forgot to blog about a pretty big thing that we did a couple of weeks ago – Chuck turned around Nicky’s car seat!  We’ve had a few questions about why we didn’t do it earlier, but the recommendations are changing and it’s being recommended that toddlers stay rear-facing as long as possible, even [...]

New songs

Nicky has added a couple of new songs to his repetoire:

Skinnamarink Where is Thumbkin? Theme from Baby Songs

It’s weird…he just starts singing these songs out of nowhere – at mealtime, in the bathtub – and it’s very cute!

Smarty-pants

Wendy brought over an awesome fridge toy for Nicky a couple of weeks ago – it has a main part that you can put each individual letter in and it’ll play a song for each letter. Tonight, he had the letter “M” in there and I asked him what “M” is for – he [...]

Ethan’s Angel

When Nicky was first diagnosed with his milk allergy, I happened to be talking to a customer at the pharmacy who mentioned that her son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.  She really gave me a lot of support and answered a lot of questions I had in the beginning.  Her son’s allergies [...]

A pretty big milestone

So, Nicky’s been able to climb into and out of his crib for at least a couple of months now.  Yesterday, I was cleaning the kitchen and Nicky was playing in the living room and I heard a small amount of bustle near the stairs, and then nothing.  I went over to see what [...]

Weekend

Margaret and I took Parker and Nicky to the zoo on Friday.  We had a great time!  When we saw the baboons, the zookeeper told us that it was naptime and that the mommies and babies were snuggling together.  Now, when I tell Nicky we should pretend it’s naptime in the baboon cage, he [...]

Nicky’s repetoire

Nicky has really started to expand the songs he’ll sing for us these days – here’s a current list of what he sings:

Tomorrow Copacabana Karma Chameleon Puff the Magic Dragon The Worm Song (Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me) Ring Around the Rosey Daddy Be a Horsey Walking My Mommy Comes Back
