It’s been six months since our last visit to the dentist, so we went this morning. I had my turn, then Chuck came with Nicky. He sat on Chuck’s lap and did really, really well! Last time, he wouldn’t even open his mouth; this time, he showed the hygenist how he brushes his teeth [...]

Nicky says two cute things now: “gaba-goo” (garbage) “kama” (karma – for when he bumps after he’s not been listening to me!) I still think I like “badder-dah” (battery) the best! I decided to take a hiatus from cloth diapers in order to strip my entire batch. This removes buildup from laundry soap and fabric softner, which can decrease the absorbency of the diapers. (I don’t use fabric softner on the diapers, but I still sometimes use it on other loads in the dryer, which [...] Chuck taught Nicky how to snap his fingers the other night. All he did was show him a couple of times, and he did it by himself; it was incredible! I also wanted to add that I have a new favorite word that Nicky says: battery. It comes out “badder-dah” and it’s adorable! I forgot to add to the last post that Nicky now says “thank you”, and usually on his own at the appropriate times! It comes out “tek yu” and it’s so cute! I’m pretty sure that Nicky has all of his canine teeth now, making a total of 16 teeth right now. I can’t get a great look or feel in there, but we’ve been practicing, especially because we’ve got a dentist appointment in a few weeks, and I’d like him to at least be able [...] Nicky must be going through another growth spurt; I cannot believe the amount of food he’s been eating lately! For lunch today, he ate: about half a bowl of quinoa about 1/4 of a spinach wrap some avocados some raspberries some corn soup his whole cup of soymilk and, for dessert, the beloved sticks [...] We had to change some things around for Nicky last weekend, but I think we’re back on track now. We decided that we left his musical crib toy in there for too long and it was waking him up at night, so Chuck and Nicky went out to get a Gloworm. We told him [...] Nicky finally slept all night again last night, and clearly his brain was working hard. His vocabulary has improved a ton, just since yesterday! He’s mastered the “ow” sound and has been using it every chance he gets: plow, cow, down, meow, bow, towel. He’s also gotten better at pronouncing Keanu’s name; it comes [...] Here’s some stuff I forgot to write about last night: Grandma Nancy’s going to owe more money; I just noticed Nicky’s 13th tooth pushing through yesterday! It’s on the top left, right in the empty spot between his front teeth and his molar. I’m assuming the other three will be filling in soon and [...] |
