Nicholas is doing lots of new and exciting stuff these days! He dances, he says "ruff" when you ask what a dog says, he climbs on his toy box, he is a master negotiator complete with pouty face and he can do "cheers" with his sippy cup. But his most exciting feat is that he has started walking! With arms stretched out above him, he toddles along like a drunken little sailor. He frequently plops down, or squats down, to retrieve objects and then pops back up again. His best work is done without any shoes on at all, but we did make a trip to Stride Rite to get him fitted in some kickin' "early walker" shoes. One interesting fact is that he refuses to walk at daycare - except when momma shows up to pick him up. Then he pops up on his feet, stretches his arms out and barrels over to me. It doesn't get any better than that!
Since he's been on the go, I have fallen a bit behind on the posting. So here are his most recent videos - highlighting his insane cuteness and progression in learning to walk.
Nicholas and his first friend, Laurel, on a playdate where they both get their groove on!
Nicholas burns off some extra energy by hammering on his pegs - a favorite pastime!
Nicholas takes his very first steps!
Late March 2012
Nicholas is really starting to get into climbing on and off his ride-on car that Nonnie and Auntie Coll-Coll got him for his birthday. He has a little trouble climbing on, but he loves trying!
Nicholas practices walking - his secret weapon is his stacking ring power bracelets!
