Nicky can go from a lying position to a sitting position on his own now! And, he crawls on his knees quite a bit; I think he still prefers to push along on his tummy, but I don’t think it’ll be that way for long! He also pulls himself up onto everything and walks [...]

Our cousin Chris was home from Boise, Idaho this past week, and we didn’t get a chance to see him, so Nicky and I drove out to Lockport yesterday before he left. The ride was great except for the detour (it took me at least an extra 15 minutes to get there!); [...] We have lots of really great toys for Nicky. Some make noises or have lights, but we picked out all of them because they inspire creativity and learning. While he likes to play with all of them, some more than others, he definitely has some other ideas for how to entertain himself. Here are [...] Now that I’m domesticated, I’ve started to cook almost every night.

The cuteness never ends around here! Chuck updated our blog site yesterday, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Now that I can change the colors on the header, I imagine it’ll be fun to play with now and again! I’ve added a list to the right of foods that Nicky’s eaten, in case anyone’s interested. (I also just bought peaches [...] Finally…after several days of mixing various foods with rice, oat, or barley cereals, I finally got Nicky to eat well without any cereal! I mixed mangoes and butternut squash, two foods that he previously liked a lot, and the result was INCREDIBLE! He gobbled it right up, and I had run out of squash, [...] Literally, yes…it’s almost 65 degrees out and perfectly sunny. But, more importantly, it’s beautiful in the house, too! Nicky’s been having a rough time for the past few weeks with sleeping and eating; he’s been waking up every night to feed and he only wants to eat oatmeal when it’s time for him to [...] |
