7 months
The next official stats will come at his 9 month doctor appointment. Physical: Nicholas’ eyes still look blue, he loves to laugh and giggle at his brother. He is getting pretty stable at sitting on his own, but pillows behind him are still a good idea. His hair is a light brown/blonde color and continues…

Cousin Birthday
Today we celebrated June (youngest daughter of my only cousin) turning the Big 1. She is exactly 5 months older than Nicholas so it will be really fun to watch them grow-up together.

How You Doing?
Today Cooper blew us both out of the water by asking “How you doing Daddy?” completely unprompted. His vocabulary and social speech skills continue to grow at an incredible rate.

First Day of Toddler Group
We are back and excited for another year of toddler group. Fortunately, I am able to bring both boys to class. Nicholas even has a buddy just two months younger in class that he will soon be able to play with when they both get mobile. It will be a bit more challenging managing two…

Transferring
With babies it is always a goal to have a successful transfer from car to crib. With Nicholas our goal has been to transfer him from the car to the house, still in his carseat. I have never even attempted a carseat to crib transfer. Today he was still asleep for, a record breaking, 10 minutes after…
