Development:

Nicholas is showing his comedic side.  He loves to call Daddy, “Mama” and Mama, “Daddy”.  Each nap and night time as I sing his resting song he runs out of his room to see how far he can get before I catch him, giggling the entire time.  Before each rest Nicholas has mastered the koala snuggle where he rests his head on your shoulder and wraps his arms around you.  This is by far my favorite part of each day with him.  Nicholas loves to walk vs. being carried when we are out.  It makes outings a bit longer, but much more entertaining to stop and see how you can take in the sites and sounds from two feet off the ground.

Physical:

Nicholas’ hair is starting to get less blonde and more brown.  His top right two year molar is completely through and the right is halfway in.  Nicholas is still in size 5 diapers and 2T clothes.

Routine:

Nicholas is waking up around 5:30 each morning and we would love to figure out how to move this back an hour.  He loves breakfast the moment he wakes up and doesn’t tolerate a lot of snuggling or distractions.  Breakfast typically includes a full+ greek yogurt half plain and half flavored.  Two prunes cut in quarters, some fruit and often a “more” request will add bananas or cereal.  He will have a cheese stick for a snack around 10.   Lunch at noon which is typically peanut butter and jelly, grapes, and pirate booty.  Nicholas loves to bring the peanut butter from the pantry to the counter.
