Nicholas is so full of personality these days. He babbles like he is actually saying words with meaning and will look at us expecting a response. Keith and I swear he says "Jabber Jaw" all the time. Do you remember that cartoon from the good ol' days?
So he is actually trying to repeat things we say to him and he actually gets really close with the sounds. He actually said "pancake" the other day. And "puppy", "Mama", "Dada", "ball" are all part of his vocabulary. He is into EVERYTHING. He is tall enough now that he can actually pull drawers open and get stuff out. I don't know when this happened. I love him being mobile but I notice that things keep getting pushed further and further back on the counters. He is starting to figure out that he can bring things....like toys over into the kitchen to stand on them to get a better "reach." He has figured out that he has to turn toys on for them to make the noises he is accustomed to. And he is the most curious little thing I have ever seen. Everything he has to examine and see how it works, from mail, to his sippy cups. My mom said he played with the cap on a plastic bottle probably for a hour one day just twisting it back and forth. And let me tell you an hour on one toy for this bundle of curiosity is like Decades.He is SO into music. Any beat he hears anywhere he starts beeboping. We were in Walmart the other day and walked past those sample music stations where you press the button and it plays a short snip of the CD they have available. I think we hung out there for a good 20 min jiving to the music. It was all classical. He ofcourse loves the fast stuff. I think the Minute Waltz was his favorite.
If I had to say what his favorite toy was, I don't know that I could pick one out. He love cups and pots and pans and like any other child would probably prefer to play with those over toys any day. Well I guess if I had to choose I think matchbox cars and those mega legos are his favorite. He loves putting the legos together and pulling them apart. Hopefully if that continues on he can inherit his uncle bobs extensive lego collection. What else, he still only has 4 teeth but eats everything under the sun. The dr said that yes he is a little behind on the teeth process but isn't concerned yet. If he still hasn't gotten any by 2 then he will probably want to look into it some more. But really what can you do? You can't make teeth come in. So whatever I guess he eats everything we do now. I very rarely make him something separate from what we are eating. He does pizza, quiche, beans, lasagna, crackers, cheese, all meats, even apples. My mom gave him a carrot to gnaw on and he actually did really well with it. He even got really upset when I tried to take it away so we could go home. So lack of teeth obviously are not an issue, but they sure would help.
You would not believe how fast this little weed is growing. We are all out of the 12 mo clothes. Its been hard b/c the stores go from 12 mo to 18 mo. And for quite some time the 12 mo fit in the waist but were too short in the legs, but the 18 mo were too big in the waist but fit in the legs. we have done alot of rigging of clothes. But now he is finally getting into the 18 mo with out rigging but we need to go out and get some tops that fit. And I swear I've had the worse time with socks for him. I have 24 month ones and they are too small. They say they are the shoe size he is, but I just don't believe it. They are so tight on his legs and leave marks. Where do I get good toddler socks at that FIT?
Anyway I guess I've rambled enough for now. That is the update. Here is the pic of the day:
Yep, NOT excited about this new skill. He climbed from the floor into his high chair....alone. Look Ma! No hands.
