Happy 3 month Birthday Nic

Happy 3 month Birthday to little Nicie! Or not so little as the case may be.

I am not sure how much Nic weighs but my guess is at least 15 pounds! Everyone's arms are getting a great workout carrying him around.

He is making more and more sounds and laughed for the first time the other day. Joseph was with him when he did it and I heard him also. Joseph asked me if it was the first time he had laughed and I said "Oh, no. He has laughed before." And then the more I thought about it, I realized that it was the first time he had laughed. Oh man! It is tough to be a second child. I am doing my best to keep the boys' milestones separate but it is tough!

I had a little bit of milk (whey) in some granola and wheat bread that I assumed were dairy free and were not. Nic did not seem to have any reaction to that (his cheeks did not change and he did not seem fussier than usual) so we are wondering a little what is going on. I don't really want to test things though so I am going to stick with my dairy-free diet.

Nic is also kicking now! Last night when I was nursing him in bed he was kicking me - the entire time. He seems happy to be able to use his legs more and is testing them out, on me. He likes it when you help him to stand up, and he goes up and down, up and down! He is so strong!
