Month: November 2010

Nicky has figured out how to tickle us, but for some reason he thinks it has something to do with the belly button.  He loves to pull our shirts up, poke his little finger in our belly buttons and then laugh his little head off.   We can’t help laughing too!

Determined to figure things out…as always.  Nicky loves wearing shoes and would love it even more if he could figure out how to get the darn things on!

1 tunnel = hours and hours of crawling fun.  He’ll sleep well tonight!

We had such a fun birthday party for Nicky last weekend (pictures here).  Nicky loved getting to celebrate with all his little friends.  HIs new car was a hit.  Unfortunately, I don’t think he liked his cupcake.  That’s ok, more for me!

 

 

                      Then…                                                  …and now

One year old…how did that happen so fast? And what a fun year it was! Nicky went from an adorable little cuddled up bundle to an adorable and active little toddler. It’s been so much fun watching him figure out how to control his body. I can’t believe that 12 months ago he couldn’t hold his head up and now he’s taking his first steps! Even more amazing is watching him learn about the world. How did he learn to wave when he hears “bye”? How did he figure out what a lion is? What a smart little cookie.

Some fun Nicky stats from this year:

• 14 pounds gained
• 12 inches taller
• zero teeth
• used 1838 diapers
• used 3600 wipes
• 1364 pictures posted (yep, that’s almost 4 a day…and that’s only the pictures that were good enough to post!)
• approx. 1 million hugs and kisses from his mom and dad

Nicky, we loved our first year with you so much!

My favorite video yet!

Nicky is loving trying to figure out door and window handles.  He can do this for hours…  Thank goodness for deadbolts – otherwise I’d be worried he’d take a leaf out of uncle Nick’s book and try to make a dash for it! 

Oh my goodness, I just have to post these because they’re adorable….there are more here.  Enjoy!

 

When he’s not trying to stick the crayons in his mouth, Nicky is a very talented artist!

Music to a mommy’s ears…
