15 months & happy 4th of july!


nicolas has kept us smiling a lot around here this past week. he's got some new favorite summer foods that he likes to request now after dinner as a dessert and also during snack time:
mee-mee (watermelon)
bee-bee (blueberries)

and an old favorite:
nana (banana)

he's learned a few signs to help with the words he's not sure how to say yet (milk, beautiful)

and he loves to engage us in a few games -
one i like to call "going postal", in which nicolas retrieves some mail from our mailbox (with our help), then presents some letters ("detta") to mom while I'm holding him and she takes them from him and runs away, sending him into a dither. we chase after her and get the letters back, and then run away, and he screams with delight. this goes on way longer than it should, but we all have a great time.

he also loves to play chase, right after dinner. he has to hold my hand for this, and mom has to chase him. we run from room to room chasing each other until he falls and gets tickled silly by mom. then we start all over again.

and of course, peek-a-boo after every bath is still fun for us all too.

he also loves to sing songs now - his favorite is row, row, row your boat, and he actually can sing the first three words (row, row, row) pretty good. he'll sing those even when different songs come on, and he requests it every time we're in the car.

it's amazing to see his personality develop so quickly, so much. we're truly blessed to have him in our lives.

hope some of you can see him soon.

He's so fine! And so smart! He's in that "sponge stage". He picks up everything, you can just sit back and watch him absorb everything. I spoke to Tre last night and he is suppose to get in touch about setting up a blog for their kids. Now I just have to get on Jeff.
HAPPY 4TH
Much Love, aunt robin

This was taken at 3:30 today while i tried to get some work done. He's so fun when he's not screaming at us. Any of our parent friends out there - what is up with this newborn thing of sleeping for most of the day, and then fussing ALL NIGHT LONG? we're trying to adjust/reverse his schedule, but last night he was wide awake and fussy from midnight to 4 a.m. sorry, no pics of that to share here. he only settled down when mary let him lay on top of her to sleep. we got some gripe water for him, and have been changing and feeding him regularly, but still not having much luck. we even took him to our awesome chiropractor here, who thought he looked great. so if you have a tip, we'll listen.
