This past month, Nico has just become so mobile and vocal. He crawls everywhere and climbs on everything. He is super strong, so he holds on to dear life once he gets himself in weird situations regarding mobility. He is also very vocal - he has a way of calling for people. You'll be minding your own business and so will he. Next time you know, you hear him making this grunting noise. So you go to look at him, and the minute he makes eye contact with you, he stops and smiles. He has also started saying what sounds like "oh no".
He loves when his shirt comes off. And he hates it when the shirt goes back on. The first thing he does when his shirt comes off, is scratch his belly (just like my dad used to do!)
Because of his newfound mobility, we are having a difficult time with napping. He manages to get himself up on his crib and, because he hasn't learned how to get back down, just stands there and cries until he is rescued. This happens at every single nap, every single day. Bedtime though, he does bedtime like a champ! Dinner, bath, pajamas, nursing, prayers, lights out. And off he goes into baby dreamland until about 6:00am the following morning.
We are still going to music class weekly and he loves it! His favorite is when the teacher brings out the big drum!
He is his brother's #1 fan. When he sees Benji after a while (like in the morning after sleeping or in the afternoon after school), Nico gets so happy! He starts making noises and laughing and moving all extremities in all directions.
Thankfully he is still a great little eater, although we did give him cauliflower the other day and that didn't settle well with his belly. So we have taken a break. He, of course, loves cheerios and all the carbs - including rice!
