Congratulations, Chuck!

I forgot to follow up and mention that Chuck passed his exam and is now a Red Hat Certified Engineer!  He gets to add the letters RHCE at the end of his name and has made himself quite a bit more marketable.

I’m very proud of you, Chuck! 

A world of training pants

Well, Nicky’s not potty-trained yet.  That’s okay with me…he does acknowledge the potty and sometimes he’ll even sit down for a second.  He’s also been making a habit of telling me “potty” when he’s about to go, so that’s a step in the right direction.  I honestly never expected anything like this so soon.

It’s potty time!

Nicky went potty for the first time today!  I couldn’t believe it – I think I just happened to catch him at the right time.  He didn’t sit for very long at all before he pooped and peed!  Chuck wasn’t home at the time, and I was so excited that I took a picture [...]

So polite!

Nicky learned the word “please” last week.  It’s really cute when he says it – it comes out like “peese”, and he already understands the meaning.  He says it when he wants something pretty regularly, which I love!  I’m so glad he’s developing nice manners!

Our week

Nicky and I survived our week while Chuck was in Columbus!  We were busy, but not too much so.

Monday, I had to work 5-9, so Nicky went next door with Katie, Chris and Rylie.  He did really well, especially considering that it was the first time he’d ever been away from either Chuck [...]

RHCE in Columbus

This week, I’ll be in Columbus, Ohio in hopes of becoming a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).  This certification is highly regarded and is only achieved by passing a five-and-a-half-hour hands-on exam.  Jen and Nicky will be dropping me off at the airport to pick up the rental car around noon tomorrow.  From there [...]

For my mom and grandma

Bye-bye bottles!

Nicky hasn’t taken a bottle, even at bedtime, in over two weeks now, so it’s time to put them away!  I nurse him every night except for Mondays (when I work) and then Chuck gives him a sippy cup with a little bit of soymilk in it.  I certainly can make use for the [...]

Poll results

Here are some very interesting results to a poll on BabyCenter.com.  Nicky has somewhere around 50 words right now, WOW!  He’s definitely my kid…

New schedule

I made an executive decision on Friday; Nicky’s going to start having just one naptime.  He’s never been a great napper to begin with; sometimes, I could get two naps from him, but it’s been pretty irregular lately.  The past week, he’s been skipping his afternoon nap, so I thought we should just try [...]
