something new
nicolas continues to develop into a wonderful, happy, curious child - he's exploring his surroundings and testing his own abilities more and more. a couple weeks ago he started pulling himself up on furniture and smiling real big at his ability to stand unassisted. no footage of that yet because we're afraid to leave him while we go grab the camera.
as we've started reading stories into his bedtime ritual (and throughout the day), his interest in books has grown even more, and he's trying to say more words - but he's still cautious about it, only whispering the first syllables of a word as he looks at us for approval or encouragement.
he's also crawling like a maniac - seemingly faster and faster each day - with no concept of boundaries. and he's learned to wave bye-bye to his babysitter and mom and dad whenever one of us leaves. while these things probably seem banal to most people, we're so wrapped up in his world that each tiny accomplishment is as exciting for us as it is for him - if not more so.
And Friday (Feb 9) he learned something new - clapping. we caught a bit of it on videotape while nicolas played in his excersaucer.
