Nicholas

Since this blog is essentially the boys' baby book and how I look back and remember things, I thought I needed to do a quick Nicholas update because he has really been changing a lot lately. He will be 8 months old this week. He is on the verge of crawling. He crawls backwards, he slithers on his tummy, and he scoots around on his bottom when he wants to get somewhere. He is very verbal right now. He babbles at us and has discovered how to make a razzing sound-which he loves. The other day we were eating breakfast and Nicholas had just taken a bite of oatmeal when he made his new favorite sound. This caused the oatmeal to shoot onto Robert, who though it was hilarious. This is probably just the first of many food fights. Nicholas adores his big brother and always wants to see what he's doing. I can tell he can't wait to be running around with him. He is really enjoying his Kindermusik class. I thought he might be a little young when we started in January, but he really gets into the music and dances and laughs. It is nice for us to have some special time with just the two of us. My little one is still such a sweet tempered, easy going little guy. He will lay in my arms after I feed him and just stare up at me and touch my face. These are really special moments that I know won't last for long.
