I like to move

A few clips of mr. man on the move this afternoon

Music a la Nicky

Nicky's favourite noises to make these days are - giggling, esp after hearing ernie from sesame street giggle..and the frustration noises/sighs when he can't get to where he wants to get to. His word of the moment is a combination of "mam", "ma", "mem"...
We're experimenting with food a little, having porridge for breakfast, lunch and dinner and additions to the oatmeal.. applesauce is a clear winner, bananas second and peaches third. Yogurt not so much, but we'll keep trying. He needs all his energy for his constant crawling and furniture cruising. We went to the local child play area and he loved it, with the padded floors and toys, playing peek-a-boo and trying to figure out what a hula hoop does.. I promise I will try and get some pics the next time or even video... if I'm that organised
Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi There

So this week I went to my swimming lesssons and had such great fun that I asked Mum to take me every week so I can practice the things I learned. I learned how to kick and how to to do blast-off from the wall.. that was great fun. Mum did humpty dumpty with me and I always ended up in the water which I liked. I have a new friend named Ivan and so him and his mum are going to try and go to the pool with us in the autumn.
I spent the day today with Dad while Mum went out, something about a shower or something. I got to see my friend Zoe and I like her. She did some great dancing. I hope she can teach me how to dance when I can stand up straight on my own. I've gotten the sitting thing together and the crawling thing is easy, I now just like to stand and find things that I can pull myself up with... mum's pants are good sometimes and so is Oscar. He just gives me kisses when I do that but Mum stops me when I try to climb on Oscar.
Mum said I should mention that I really like electronic stuff... the phone, mum's laptop, the remote and the alarm clocks.... Mum gets very worried when I go near her laptop but I swearI only just want to learn how to type so Mum doesn't have to do all this typing.

Ok, must go , Mum wants to go and watch the Olympics. I was asleep for the opening ceremony but I think Mum and Dad taped it so I'll watch it tomorrow morning
Hugs to everyone
Nicky

Did I mention I hang out at the pool now....

So I now go swimming or what mum likes to say a dip in the pool, the pool is a little chilly so I don't stay in too long. I've met a few new people and we play games like " wheels on the bus" and they teach us about how to kick and how to reach out and grab some toys. They tried to teach me how to blow bubbles but I think it'll be a while before I can get it right, but all the mums made funny faces when they started to blow bubbles for us....
Mum will put a picture up when she gets one

And for my next trick...

So yesterday I magically learned how to make myself stand up in my bed.. I shocked and suprised Mum and Dad who oddly lowered the mattress in my bed... I've no idea as to why they would do that. I tried again this morning and Mum caught me. Yes that is a nightgown I've got on me, its easier for having my bum changed ;)

My new adventures!

So
I now like to eat porridge, the lumpier the better, don't really like the prunes or the peaches but I do really like peas and mashed potatoes.
I'm still having my on going dental issues... the second tooth came through and somewhere in there there's another one getting ready to come down... so I'm not a happy boy these days.
I'm getting more exercise as I like to crawl about the place and when I can and when Mum has the time we walk around the kitchen. We have new tables in the living room and so I can do things like rest when I'm tired and read the paper ( see pic)
Last weekend mum took me into a pool and I had great fun. I can't wait to go to my swimming lessons next week.
Mum said I'm a big boy now as I now am in my new car seat and am being pushed about in my new jogger stroller. Mum took me to a cool place where I can crawl around in a big room and loads of other babies are there, but they're bigger than me, that doesnt' matter to me I just like to see everyone and try and climb on the soft squishy blocks they have. mum's excited as we now have somewhere to go in the winter when the weather outside is cold and wet..
ok... time for my big bottle and then a bath
Big hi to everyone
Hugs and Kisses

I'm on my way... slowly.. I'm starting to crawl

Hi everyone,
So I started to crawl a little today..I've stopped doing my starfish motions and started to crawl to Mum this morning. She was very happy. Dad is going to try and capture it on camera later and Mum said she'll put it up online when they can
Hope everyone had a good weekend
