Nikolas was free to roam through the house pretty much anywhere as long as the door to the back patio with the swimming pool was closed--and he took a full advantage of it!
Where is Nikolas now?
He gave a very cute hug to his cousin that I didn't manage to capture fully (he pressed his face tightly against her), but I took this photo a few seconds later:
During the day we often had Nikolas in the walker outside so that he could enjoy the beautiful weather and watch Artie and Kim's kids as they played in the swimming pool all day long!'I feel like I'm running in circles...!'
I couldn't help but dip him in the pool for the first time. He loved it more than I ever expected. He kept kicking his legs and arms that I could barely hold him and letting those signature shrills of pure excitement.
We had Nikolas sleep in our bedroom in the playpen-we weren't sure how he'd behave now that he wasn't at home, but he slept 8pm-7:30am every day!Of course, he is much happier hanging out all over mommy and daddy's bed:
There is something about spending time with older kids--it regularly teaches Nikolas something new. This time it was walking while holding on with only one arm:
Ok, that was easy, now we move on to acrobatics.He approached the walker where Carrigan was seated and climbed with both feet, one at a time, very carefully onto the rim of the walker completely by himself! He balanced on it for a little bit while Carrigan moved!
The two cousins:
Here is Nikolas in his favorite pose in the car seat on the way back home (leg attached to the canopy, babbling and playing with toys).
