Shh I'm reading

Nicholas now reads by HIMSELF! He will look at books in his room without anyone else around. What a big boy. I am not sure when he decided that he liked to play in his room alone, but that has happened too. He is looking at a book that goes with his LEAP PAD.

Funny story today:
I was getting ready for our playgroup and was brushing my hair. Nicholas wanted to use my brush, but I decided that it wasn't a good idea so I gave him a comb to use instead. He held his hand out, took the comb, and threw it on the floor and pointed to my brush. Excuse me! I tried again and he did the same thing. Okay so now he reads AND has an opinion....the books didn't say anything about this!

Little man brushing his hair with Daddy's brush.
Blurry but still sweet.
Oh Mama, you look so pretty. (Because you haven't brushed YOUR hair yet today.)
Should I hit Boo Boo with this long pointer?
Look Mama it is a big Boo Boo.

I must tell you that I have TRIED to posted several times both this month and last and every time I tried to upload photos it took me to an error screen. HATE THAT. So I usually give up and walk away. I am glad it worked tonight...I just might post another blog!

13 on the 13th

13 months old! Nicholas is just on the ball. We took him outside to play with his 'tricycle' on the driveway. He was sooo cute. We have long pine needles all over our driveway. After about 2 minutes on the tricycle he was off to pick them up. He had two big handfuls and was just walking all over. I really like the pic with Matt and Nicholas. He is even turning around to see where Mama is....my precious little boy.

Say a little prayer

More like say a BIG, FAT, LONG prayer. Nicholas is continuing to have feeding/eating problems. We have officially stumped the GI Dr here and are being referred up to Shands Children Hospital. At the last apt she wasn't happy with his growth/weight (or lack there of) so she started mentioned a feeding tube....my heart just broke. He has had such a difficult time with eating, all of the allergies. Now that we finally have that under control we are trying everything we can think of to get him to EAT. I let him play in all the food I offer and try to feed him while he plays so he is distracted. We are thinking about an ENT, just to rule that one out. Please say prayers, a 13th month old should not have all of these problems.

He is so happy and so active. He is officially walking more than crawling (has been all week) and is very happy. He finds Mr. Giles extremely funny...always laughing at him. Here is a pic....

I love YOU so much Mr. Monk!

Playing telephone

Here are some adorable pictures and a short story to make you smile!
On Sunday night we were walking around the neighborhood and Nicholas started to to get fussy. He wanted to be held and it was about 120 F. (Not really, but it was HOT and HUMID) Finally Matt gives Nicholas his cell and has it on speaker phone. Nicholas' eyes got huge and he looked back at me and SMILED. You could hear the ringing and then my voice came on....Matt called our home number getting voicemail. I figured out that I had my cell too so we called my cell then I used my cell to call Matt's cell, Nicholas was so cute. Finally we put both phones on speaker and spoke through my phone to Nicholas through Matt's phone. His whole face lit up. He would get SO excited when Matt's phone would ring and then he would hear Matt talking to him. When he gets excited he puts his fists in the air and tenses up scrunching his nose. Too sweet. This went on for a while, until we got home. I should have taken a picture of his precious face when the phone would ring....I can see it when I close my eyes. Angel baby.

It's official

Nicholas is walking. He stands up from the floor on his own and waddles around all over the house. He still crawls, but he is definitely walking ALL around. He gets this look on his face, he is so proud of himself and happy that he can do it all by himself. So sweet!
He has also cut the 2nd bottom left tooth and I can see the 'buds' on either sides of the two top teeth. Growing, growing, growing!
