Nickolas was very sleepy and sitting in Nana's lap. You can tell in his eyes that he is tired. He will not keep a hat on at all. So while he was sleepy Nana put one on his head. It still didn't last long, but I was able to grab a picture of it..

9 Months Old Today
Nickolas is 9 months old today!! It is going by oh so fast. (I know I say that almost every time) He is doing more and more each day. Let me start by making this announcement...(I feel a little guilty for not recognizing it before). Nickolas is crawling!!!!!! Finally! He crawled for the first time one week ago when I kept him all night. Luckily, Tiffany was there to see it when it happened. She was dropping him off and we had just put him in the floor to play and he saw a toy that he wanted. So he got on his hands and knees and crawled to get it! We just couldn't believe it. So we played the "move-the-toy-further-away-so-we-can-see-him-crawl" game. We would put stuff out of his reach and keep moving further away and he would crawl to it. Every time we put him down he would improve on his crawling. We are so excited! This means baby proofing the house. We have already purchased the plastic plug ins for the outlets. I know there is much more we need to do. He is starting to visibly recognize mommy and daddy and me! (yay) I took him to see Ruthie and Grandpa when they returned from Arizona. Ruthie was holding him and I walked into the kitchen (out of sight) and he started crying! As soon as I walked back around the corner he would stop. It is a neat feeling to know that he knows who I am. He is such a good baby!! If you are at the table eating, he expects to be there with you. He is eating stage 3 baby food and his doctor said he can eat anything we eat, but he doesn't have any teeth yet!! So he gets mashed potato's, bread etc. Maybe we won't have to wait too long for teeth. He loves to play patty cake and will clap and roll his arms. It is too cute. He likes watching cartoons. And when he is really sleepy he will focus on one object and stare at it. The other day we were at US Cellular at Turkey Creek and Nickolas was sleepy. Well, the woman who worked there would talk to him and he would smile at her....then he just stared at her. It was funny because she wasn't talking to him anymore, but yet his eyes were fixed on her! He was so tired. We all had a pretty good laugh. Is he too young to learn that it is not polite to stare? :-) He is so fun to be around. As I type this I find myself missing him and anticipating when he will come back to my house. He is so addictive! I can't believe he is 9 months old already. His first birthday will be here before we know it!
We took him to get his pictures made again at Portrait Innovations. He was so good!! They did 105 poses. We had to narrow it down to only a few to purchase. Boy, that was hard! They gave us a CD with all the poses, so there are lots of pictures for you to see!

If you think I'm cute.....
Nickolas' shirt says, "If you think I'm cute, you should see my Aunt Tonya!" How true is that?!?! Ha Ha. He spent the night with me on Tuesday night. It has been a long time since he has stayed the whole night with me. He was so good!! He is still waking up at night wanting to eat. The formula he is on already has the Protein broken down, so he gets hungry faster. The doctor says he will wake up at night until he goes to whole milk. So we have about 3 more months until that happens! He is so cute, you just can't get frustrated with him!

Sick Baby Update
The doctor came in and checked him out and decided to keep him another night. Everything seems to be improving so this is good. They came to the hospital last night thinking they would just look at him and send him home. They did not prepare to stay this long. So Nickolas has 2 toys he is quickly growing tired of. It is a lot harder on Nickolas this time because he wants to constantly stand up and he is restricted in his crib. Last time he was just learning to sit up so it was easy to watch him. Now he wants to be all over the place!! It is harder on every one. We are thankful that he continues to get better. Hopefully they will go home tomorrow.
