Eight Months!

IMG_0341Wowsers…eight months.  This month just flew by (pictures here).  Nicky is now up on his hands and knees getting ready to crawl.  He’s also turning into a giant wiggle worm and loves either spinning around in our laps or trying to crawl right up us.  We have a cross country flight next month and if he’s still so crazy about moving around it could be interesting!  Call me crazy but I think that he’s starting to understand a few words.  Some of the words he responds to are wiggle (for his head wiggle), splash, kick, kitty, 1 2 3, and where’s daddy/mommy/Nicky.  How fun that we can start to communicate!

Kisses

IMG_0236Here’s the scene at our house tonight: I’m reading Nicky his Baby Faces book when suddenly he starts head butting and slobbering all over every baby in the book. I can only imagine he’s kissing them. How sweet.

This was right before he pooed in the bath. Oh my. Now that he’s asleep and the tub is clean I think I’ll go pour myself a nice big glass of wine. At least it’s Friday!

Getting Around

Nicky loves his wild animal playmat that Aunt Nancy and Uncle Frank got him, especially now that he can roll around.  Every time he lands on one of the animals it makes a noise.  And for some reason he’s always better at getting up on his hands and knees when he’s playing on this playmat…crawling, here we come!
