Man how time flies! Our little Mr. Nicie is nine months old today! He is starting to soldier crawl, and think about taking some steps while someone is holding his hands, and stand up while holding something! He is making more and more different sounds - Mamamamamama, Dadadadadada, Nenenenenene and others.
He still cries in the car - a lot - but sometimes he falls asleep. He doesn't sleep as much during the day anymore - probably 2 or 3 naps - but because he mostly sleeps on the go (since Jac only takes one nap) it is a little hard to know! He loves my computer - if he can reach it he wants to take the keys off. He can play contentedly by himself on the floor for a while and he likes to play near Jac. Jac likes to play very close to him - even though he doesn't have to - and I wonder how that dynamic is going to change as Nic starts to be able to move more and more. Nic realizes that he can grab things that are a little more distance from him - he gets up on his legs and hands and reaches for things - and will go down on his tummy without complaint to try to get them. He doesn't like to stay on his tummy for too long though and will complain for help to get up - he hasn't figured out how to get to sitting by himself.
He is strong! Oh man! My wrists are starting to hurt from wrestling with him! He is sweet and smiley. When he sees people that make eye contact with him he smiles and coos at them! It reminds me so much of Jac at this age. It is a lot of fun to watch Nic progress through the same stages as Jac did and since it was only 14 months ago that Jac did it I can almost remember it! He nurses to sleep, and to nap. He eats solid foods well - and quickly - and complains mightily if you don't give him the food fast enough.
He nurses during the day and night, but not as much as he used to. He is a Momma's boy. I carry him in the Beco a lot when we are out - he is almost 20 pounds and tough to carry as he twists himself around without the carrier. He likes Madie second to me and will sometimes sleep with her in the carrier. He likes Meghan also but he hasn't spent as much time with her yet to sleep with her. He gets very excited when he sees his brother and seems to like it when Jac comes to see him when he wakes up. He likes to be carried. He likes the little toy animals that we just bought at "Into the Wind" on Pearl Street. He likes to chew on diapers and wave them around. He likes to roll over on his changing table.
He doesn't like to be taken away from me or Jac. He gets very excited when Jac gets very excited and they seem to feed off each other. Jac gives him hugs and kisses. He assaults you with his hands if you are carrying him - and he really whacks you and scratches you. He doesn't spend that much time with Daddy and we are going to try to change that a bit. He is a sweet, very cute little boy who continues to look like a "Mini Me" of his Daddy!
