16 months!

Nicholas is 16 months old and for the past week and a half I have heard "no!" and "top!" (Nicholas speak for stop) a lot. He is certainly right where he should be according to every article I have found online regarding the subject! He gave me a kiss on my cheek this week all by himself. It was honestly one of the sweetest experiences of my life! (The sweetest was when we first met eyes right after he was born). He is also climbing or trying to climb on things. I have documented this in photos. He likes to put things in the trashcan that are not trash. He throws some of his toys in the bathtub. He is so sweet! He got into trouble at daycare a few weeks ago for knocking his friend in the face with a toy. Other than that, he enjoys his friends at school but has been crying lately when I leave. He has also been grunting when he doesn't get his way or is told no. Words he is saying: juice, no, top, juice, Boppy, eat.

Something was funny!

I only allowed him to do it for the camera. This little table has found a new home...on top of the dryer lol!

15 months!!!

We went to Nicholas' 15 month appointment on 11/8/2011 and he is in the 75th percentile for height, weight and head circumference! The Dr. said his skin looks gorgeous (apparently many babies with allergies to milk and other foods have eczema...and Nicholas does not).

Nicholas has been talking a good bit. He says the following words: yeah, eat, juice (he says this a lot!), mama, bye bye, and will attempt to say any word that you tell him and ask him to repeat. He blows kisses if I say "kisses!" He will bring me certain items if I ask. He really likes to hand people items lately (books, toys, etc.) He also has been trying to climb onto his toy table. He is in a size 6 shoe now and has approximately ten teeth.  He still uses his pacifier at bedtime. I am going to post some photos of him from Halloween, etc. below!



Monkey trying on his costume just prior to Halloween! Notice he has mommy's calculator! The next day at work when I said I didn't have my calculator because Nichoas took it, they didn't believe me. This pic is proof!



Giving Allie his juice cup!





Monkey with all of his fans and cousin Davis!!!



Trick or Treating, House #1 (no, we do not know these people...although Nicholas fit right in with them! LOL!)





House # 2 (He was looking in their front door!)



House #3 had a baby, and Nicholas appeared interested in seeing the baby!




More pics from 14th and 15th months below....



Pics from Greek Festival...

I somehow wasn't able to get the pics into the last post from the Greek Festival...so here they are...

Hey and Bye...(13 monhts)



Nicholas is now saying "hey" and "bye". The other night I was hanging up talking to my friend and I told her bye...he repeated "bye!" So, his official words now are: NO, hey and bye...and of course "thank you" (than thoo)

He also very much enjoys running now. He runs and is still trying to keep from falling. Sometimes he falls on the floor and has a look like "how did I get here?!" He gets right back up and keeps going! He also tried to climb in the bathtub on his own the other day.

We went to the Greek Festival Sept. 17th and Nicholas liked moving to the Greek music. We also took a tour of the church which had a beautiful mural. He enjoyed seeing it!

First trip to library!

Nicholas went to the library for the first time on 9/11/2011. He enjoyed it a lot! He had fun playing with puzzles and we checked out 18 books!

Nicholas is 13 months today!

Nicholas has been into a lot! He LOVES my cell phone! When I take it from him he has a fit and if I place it on the kitchen table where I think he will forget about it because it is out of view, he will get on his tippy toes to look for it and then cry because he cannot get to it.

Just two days ago he spent 8 minutes putting a pouring cup and a cube from one his sorters into the mailbox of his little house. He put these items in every which way he could, would shut the mailbox and open it to start all over again. I should have gotten a video of this, but of course whenever I pull out the flip recorder he comes up to it and wants to take that too!

Nicholas' favortite toys right now are: my cell phone, the remote control (good thing I mostly watch BRAVO as most of the time I have no idea where the remote is and have to manually turn on the tv), an empty water jug, and an empty formula container.

The words he is saying are: dada, mama, No (his first official word), thank you (pronounced than thoo), and bye. He is walking, running, and knows how to stomp his feet and march in place!

I have posted photos from his official 1st birthday photo shoot! These were shot at the Governor's Mansion grounds. He did a spectacular job and I think the photos are going to turn out great! More to come soon!

Welcome to Nicholas's Blog!

I will be posting photos and updates about Nicholas here!
