New Bed

We set up Nico's new bed and here is the little buddy trying it out for the first time! He still needs some practice getting in and out of it, but with the mattress in there it should be easier.

Smelly bed

Nico's big boy bed was delivered today! After Nico was crawling on it for a while, we noticed that he had brown all over his hands. The bed's stain had not finished drying! And his room smells mighty terrible at the moment. By proxy it smells in our bedroom, too, but he'll be spending the night in my bed tonight. I'm hoping by tomorrow the smell has gone down a bit.

We'll get a picture of Nico with the bed as soon as the bed is approachable. The picture for tonight is of Nico playing with cars on our bed. We will turn in shortly and hopefully snuggle ourselves to sleep.

Cars in Bed

Church, then nap, then Guy and Nico went up to the cabin. Grandma Salisbury says that Nico wanted to play with cars in their bed, so she snapped a picture of him! He sure likes to play on grown up beds. I'm hoping he'll be just as excited when he gets his very own grown up bed soon.

Preparation and more illness

Preparing for Daddy's return by changing the sheets.

Both Nico and I were sick tonight! What is going on in this house, hmm?

Bed Flop Shot

Nico has been saying the word "gock", and so I pointed to the clock and said "clock", and he said "caw". This is the first time Nico has learned to use just a sound to identify an object. When he sees the clock he goes "caw" and then he laughs and flails his arms about (his typical excited reaction). I even got him to imitate me when I say "sssssss"! I think we are at the beginning of the road to talking!

Flop

Forgot to take a picture today, but a video will do, yes?

This is what Nico does on our bed while I fold laundry. This video is from yesterday. Today I piled the blankets more on top of each other and closer to his launch pad, and that seemed to be a lot more fun for him.
