He walked into Nikolas's room with me this morning where Nikolas was already up and jumping, and when he saw deko he lay back and gave him a shy smile, but as soon as I picked him up he warmed up to deko.
New developments:
He pretends to read--he'll pick up a book and nest himself in my lap on the floor, flip through pages, point at pictures and babble.
Walking has improved to where now he can handle slopes and small steps. Now he is ready to climb! He'll stand up on his truck seat, either without holding the handrails at all or holding them while he forces the truck to move back and forth. I have yet to see him fall of the truck or the tricycle when he does his acrobatics. This is not the end of his climbing attempts: he figured out that he could carry the Lego table and use it as a step to get onto a couch or chair or to reach the bar. Nikolas is now tall enough to reach the top of dining room table. I have to be careful to keep the edges of the table clear. So, this is the beginning of the fun time when the child is able to get ANYWHERE!
Nikolas knows exactly how to communicate what he wants: recently Robb picked him up in the middle of the night when he suddenly woke up. Nikolas pointed to the door so Robb took him out of his room; then he pointed to the kitchen, so Robb brought him into the kitchen; Nikolas pointed to his water bottle that was sitting on the counter and Robb offered him water, which Nikolas drank like he hadn't had water in days and immediately afterwards was happy and went back to sleep.
Oh, and when it comes to milk, which he should be drinking now that he turned one, I've been trying unsuccessfully to get him to drink it until I finally blended it with banana--this did the trick!
Our new king of the kitchen:
Two bottles at once, yeahhh!
A walk through the neighborhood with deka:
A big hug for deka for putting shoes on Nikolas's feet:
