nikolas … sweet little dude. he is getting so incredibly big … he'll be 11 months tomorrow. the first thing everyone notices about him is his hair. he has tons of it. this was a photo of him from last week. ignore the food plastered all over his face … that's what i get for bothering him during his lunch.
when he showed up on monday morning … it was as if we had a whole new little boy here. he got a haircut … a big haircut. it makes him look so different and so much older i think. he doesn't seem as "babyish" to me anymore … he's like a big boy now! and as much as i loved his crazy head of hair and think it looked so cute on him … i love his new look too!
isn't he the most adorable thing? we just love having him here. he is still THIS close to walking. i've been saying that for a while now … but he really is. lol! he's taking 3-4 steps on his own. loves to be standing … spends most of his time walking around the tables and flying over to the couch and back to the table. he also loves emptying out the diaper basket. i keep all the kids diapers and wipes in the baskets under our table in the family room. and he loves taking them all out and carrying them around. only thing is … i don't know which ones are technically his diapers and which ones are haleys. they both wear the same kind in the same size. so i think he's really just trying to steal some from haley to add to his own supply … since he tends to use more. lol!
what else? i'm sure he has lots of words that i'm not noticing … but i do know that he usually says "dada" and "uh-oh" all day long. he'll throw things down on the floor … and then say "uh-oh" … over and over. and just yesterday … i swear he said "disneyland". really. it kind of came out a "is-ney-and" … but it totally sounded like "disneyland". and it wasn't just once … he did it about 10 times. guess we know where he wants to go. his mom said that she wouldn't be telling his brothers and sister about that … otherwise they would spend the next week asking him to say it. which is so true … the girls do it here. all day long … "nikolas, say dada" … "nikolas, say uh-oh"!
and just a few more that i took yesterday too. i took him out on the front porch to try and get some pics. we have pretty nice lighting out there in the early day. but the dude wouldn't sit still for me … he just kept crawling all over the place. which made a mess of him … because there is nothing but dirt and dust all over the porch. you could see his trail marks as he went along. lol!
i think he's getting to that age too … where he's not as quick to go to other people. even the girls … they really love holding him … but he just reaches back out to me the whole time. not that i mind … i love being the one that they want to come to all the time!
and i might as well throw ariana in this post too. she's normally not one for photos … but she kept jumping in front of me when i was trying to get some pics of nikolas.
she was so funny yesterday … she kept asking me "why am i all alone here today". i tried to tell her that she wasn't alone … that me and nikolas were there with her .. but that didn't make her feel any better. i think she was missing haley a little! we did get my neighbor ayana to come play for a while … which helped a bit!
and i'm not sure how these pictures are looking to you. they look super sharp on the blog post itself (as in way-too-sharp-that-they-look-a-little-funky) … but if you click on it to see it bigger, i think it looks a little blurry. i don't think either of them look like my original to be honest. lol! typepad made some changes apparently … so if things look wonky at all … blame them!
