Nicholas has grown so much in the last few weeks that he deserves a post! He is now getting around mostly on hands and knees, but when he REALLY wants something he resorts back to commando crawl. He is picking up his food by himself and feeding himself - what a milestone for making mom's life easier at lunch time! His favorite foods are Hummus and carrots and we had to put the crib rail up as he is usually sitting there waiting for us in the morning. He is going through a growth spurt right now and and sleeping a TON (3 2-3hr naps a day plus 12-13hrs at night!) and eating like crazy. Last night he had 3 whole carrots, a handful of green beans, 1/2 of a very large sweet potato and then nursed at 7pm, took a 6oz bottle at 10 and then nursed at 2am and 6am! We are giving him a bottle at 10 as we know this is just a spurt and I really don't want to build up milk again for that. Plus, he gets really mad at me at that feeding as I don't have much to give him and he wants it NOW.
Yummy Yummy Broccoli!
Put in mouth, insert thumb, swallow and repeat!
Eating is hard work, must rest between courses.
Resting and, well, probably doing 'that other thing'.
The boys are usually outside playing by 7am. Ben likes to have Nicholas watch and he explains to him what he is doing. We recently set up an outdoor play yard so that Nicholas can now play and crawl around vs be tied up in an exersaucer.
Wow Ben, that is really neat!
Watching something Nathan is doing.
Hmm, I think I see a little bit of something evil in that smile!
