No O-Me

The time has come, we knew it would, Nick no longer wants to eat oatmeal. It's the first thing he'll tell you when you go into his room to get him, no o-me. And if it wasn't clear, he'll repeat it a few times, each time louder.

Now he eats cereal, and please note; he always wants a big boy spoon and is holding it like a big boy too.

Just hanging out.

He carried these "ba-oons" around until they were nearly empty.

That's Nick in the orange chair. He's hanging out with Mommy and the Bowman's side of the family at a party for Cousin Chris who just graduated High School.

Like a big boy!
If you recall back in April Nick got his first hair cut outside of family doing it, he was petrified and screamed the whole time. On Saturday when we asked him if he wanted to go get his hair cut, he excitingly said "yeah" then what surprised both Mom and Dad, "Nemo, TB?" He remembers watching Nemo there. No time since has he's seen that orange fish, Nemo. TB is the TV. I then asked him if he remembered what he sat in. He responded after a few seconds, "Choo Choo". He was right and we were amazed, it was the first time he showed us he can remember that far back.
This round he was awesome! He sat there and watched Toy Story 3.

Fathers Day
Dad and Nick are eating beef brisket.

"Look"

Look Mommy, look Daddy.... it is his favorite word. He wants you to see whatever he's looking at too.
Nick has starting to request "hide and go seek". The other day he hid in a suitcase that was on the floor.

Cousin Cormac's 2nd birthday party.

Cousin Max and Nicholas enjoy getting their hair blown.
"No fingers" are a rule.

Watching Grandpa Polzin play with his ipad.

Hopefully the weather will get nicer so we can take some outside photos.

What Cabinet Locks?

I'm not sure at what age a child learns how to open the cabinets that have push down locks on them but Nick at 2, has figured it out. I saw it happen right in front of me, he studied it then figured it out. He hasn't gone crazy opening them up just yet.

Have I mentioned that Nick can walk up and down the stairs with no problems and he doesn't need to hold on to anything? Though sometimes he walks with his arms full of toys. And of course, we are talking about Nick, he likes to slide down head first down the stairs too. Mom and Dad do not approve.

Here is the cake Aunt Lindsey made for Nephew Max (3) Uncle Tim helped a little.

Here we are at Max's party getting ready for him to blow out the candles.

Leftover party balloons and one scary face. He loved playing with these.

Daddy and Nick time.

Last weekend was Uncle Todd's birthday.
Nick got in on the fun.

Walking with Grandpa Bowman

Cousins hanging out on the couch.

Nicks favorite animal this week is a Giraffe.

He can say his last name really well. He doesn't know what a last name is though.
