Easter Weekend

Daddy & Mommy were in Florida for a wedding so Nicholas hung out with Dads side for Easter.

Coloring eggs with Uncle Todd

We were excited to see what the Easter bunny had for Nick at home.

Nicks very first peep.

Finally...he probably thinks.

Bites- Lost count, according to a new teacher, a girl bit Nicks girl friend Te-te, Nick got upset and bit the girl back. They then proceeded to repeatedly bite one another. Don't mess with Nicks loved ones.

Words- Lost count, he can and tries to say everything these days. Like today, I need to get some supplies from upstairs. "Sup ss ss"

At dinner the other day Nick was making a mess of his food, with Mommy sitting next to me I offer a stern face and ask, "Nick, who's laughing? He looks at us both, then points to himself and says "Nick laughing"...I wanted him to stop, not encourage....Mommy then started cracking up.

ofyou & Don't Smile

Palm Sunday

We celebrated a 1st birthday Saturday were Nick got to play with lots of Dads fraternity friends kids.

We celebrated Great Grandma's 83rd birthday Sunday where Nick got to play with lots of cousins.

Maybe it's because Nick has said sorry so often in the past 8 months that he feels he's responsible when anyone gets hurt, or maybe he is just coming over to comfort you because he thinks you are in pain. If mommy stubs her toe, he'll come over and say sorry, give her a kiss and a hug. If Dad is smacked by another child, Nick will come over and say "no" to the other child and say sorry to me, then stand in front of me, protecting me.

He is funny! Really! He does a lot of silly things and then laughs saying "Neek" funny.
"Don't Smile" comes from when Daddy gets Mommy to smile when she's mad or sad. It works on Nick too and he loves it. So do we, seeing him try to fight the smile from coming out, resisting it with his big fat lower lip, then busts out to a big smile. I wanted to post photos of this however, Nick making a sad face then happy doesn't do it justice. Perhaps a video down the road.

Words-
I love you - ofyou
Nick - Neek

Hair Cut & Ice Cream

0 bites - 5 days

This past weekend we took Nick to get his hair cut. This was his first store bought hair cut. He hated every second of it, even though he was in a train chair and a kids movie was on in front of him.

The next day it was really nice out and since Nick had his first very own scoop of ice cream following the hair cut...I thought why not again?

We shared this and I promise you Daddy's spoonfuls were very large so that he didn't have that much. He was very good about sharing it.

It's cute.

You may think he's a tough kid in this photo, quite the contrary, some kid scratched him a few times and the ran full speed into a table.

Next week - "Don't Smile"

Hannibal Lector

3 bites, in 4 days.

Nick and his "choo choo" trains

Soy Beans - This week is the first time he has knowingly ate anything green in probably his whole life. He gobbled them up like they were candy. It took some encouragement from Mom and Dad to show they were fun to eat.

Cousins at the park.

So many more, but he can repeat most of the one words that we can say, I don't count it as learned until he says it on his own.
