Doubling Up

Nico drinking his milk and water at the same time.

Pancakes

Nico had Guy-esque pancakes for the first time today, and maple syrup for the first time as well! Guy-esque pancakes include pancake, peanut butter, and syrup. Nico loved it! We topped him off with some goat's milk.

Late Night Walk, and Bath

It was 8:30 PM before I realized we hadn't gone for a walk at ALL today! So I took Nico outside really quick and we walked down the street and back. We could hear the crickets and Nico seemed really excited that it was getting darker and he was very talkative and excited the whole time. He tried to say "dark" when I said it. And he says crickets like "Kih-Kuh" or sometimes "Guh  Guh".

Then we came home and I gave him a bath. He played with his new wind up toy frog from Grandma Salisbury. It kicks in the water!

Oh and I should mention last night. Nico had a very late night last night and had trouble falling asleep. He asked for milk and so I gave him some, but he wanted to keep the bottle in his crib with him like he does with his water bottle. I put the milk bottle right next to him, tucked him in, then silently grabbed the milk bottle on my way out. Just after closing the door he starts crying. I go back in and he asks for milk again. I get him milk and after 5 more minutes of snuggles I put him back into the crib. This time he holds onto the milk, propped up on his elbows, until I leave the room and close the door.

About 15 minutes later I went back in there and took it from his crib to put back in the fridge. He was asleep by then.

Mall and New Things

Nico and I went to the mall today with Grandma Salisbury. She bought Nico a new pair of shoes and a snuggly bear from Build-A-Bear. We named the black bear "Bud". It was a lot of fun!

This evening we went to the Fish Park and then took a brief walk on the greenbelt. Nico spent time trying to walk just on the white lines. We even went down to the water and tried to touch it. He said he wanted to touch it but I think he was a bit shy about it, because he never made a move toward it!

Nico has also been drinking a lot of raw goat's milk. We have his own little sippy cup for milk and he asks for it by signing. He's gone through about a quart of it in 3 days. That's a lot compared to the last time we had goat's milk!

Finger Dippin' Good

Nico dipping his fingers and hand in his open water bottle.

Today Nico and I tried raw goat's milk for the first time. It appears that we can both tolerate it! Nico had a small cupful and then asked for more. I gave him a little bit more but didn't want to overdo it on his first day.

Today Nico also got to spend some time with Grandma Salisbury. She got him to try to say the word tractor for the first time!
