Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?? This is what he would look like had he slept at any point in the last week! Poor little tyke, Nicky's been running a fever all week and has a sore throat, but he's still my little angel. But man am I glad everyone has come home! Mark is back in town, Deana will be here for three whole weeks and Barbara gets back in from Poland tonight and will be spending a few days with us. Nicky will be spoiled rotten and I'm going to take a nap! Nicky is starting to feel better and has been standing on his own and taking a few steps, I'll bet he'll be walking by his birthday, good thing, he is getting a little heavy to be holding all the time. This is definitely the first time in my life that my left arm is twice as strong as my right. We are looking forward to a fun summer and will be starting swimmy lessons for Shorty hopefully next week. If hysterical giggling is any indication, this kid is going to love the pool.
Nicky is also walking a lot, playing with his new blocks - which he loves - and listen up, this is the best part...he puts away his own toys!!!! Finally, a trait from mommy!
He is also very tidy with food. I gave him some jello expecting a cyclone, but instead he scooped up all the pieces I laid out for him, put them back in the container and picked up the spoon to try to figure out how to feed himself. He actually made spoon-mouth contact a few times!
Other news, Sean is heading to St Louis to meet up with Amy in a week and she will begin her Post Doc next week. I haven't seen pictures yet but Sean said they have a cute little house in a fun area. Good luck guys!
