peekaboo

Nikolas knows how to play peekaboo!
I was checking my email in the office this morning while he was playing in the living room. When he spotted me, he crawled to the hallway entrance and stayed a bit hidden behind the wall, then peeked out--I said 'chuuu' (my version of 'peekaboo'), at which he gave me a huge smile and then hid again, then peeked again.... We played for a couple of minutes and it was hilarious and so awesome to see that he really was playing the game!

The other thing he played with today was the spongy puzzle that he entirely took apart and spread all over the living room, it looked like a tractor passed through the room--what a mess! The pieces came handy for chewing--they are just soft enough that they don't hurt his gums but hard enough to massage his gums that will produce more teeth any day now. I think I can already see the other front upper tooth just under a thin layer of skin.
He climbs everything now. The coffee table is a major attraction since it has, up until now, housed a remote control, newspapers, a story book, often a cup... all those things he'd love to put his hands on! Of course, chairs, sofa, etc. are just as good a support for climbing. Check out his right sock :) At least it's on, he hasn't bit if off his foot just yet!
