Hello autumn

So Mum has told me that Autumn has arrived (but, she explained it started earlier in Ireland and here they go by the autumnal equinox... which is September 22nd this year). So you can see from my pic that its time to start wearing winter hats (what you can't see is that moments after this photo was taken I removed this hat!) I like to feel the breeze in my hair (which is becoming more and more abundant every day). I also kicked off the blanket because I felt like it.
Mum takes me and Doo for walks along by the river so we can see the leaves change colour and see all the stuff falling out of the tree. I've seen loads of squirrels, geese and ducks which are all fun to see, they all run or waddle away when we walk close by. I also like to watch the girls who jog by the river, Mum thinks its rude and Dad high-fived me.
We went out in the rain a lot this weekend, I liked to look at the rain and see the water all over the place. Oscar had his friend stay over and I had fun with them. I got to see Maia's mum on Saturday when Mum and Dad took to me what Mum called a rummage sale. She seemed excited to be able to get coats for me, I dunno, I wasn't really impressed so I told her. I also got to see Erica and Chuck and they got me to try and tell her baby to come out ( Aisling here: Erica is due any day and is ready for the baby's arrival so is willing to try anything to help kickstart the birth process! )
My tooth on my upper gum is breaking through according to Mum, hmmm that explains why my gums are hurting me, maybe its going to come through this week.
OK time for me and Mum to go food shopping, I'm going trying chicken this week I think, well that's if Mum is willing to boil it and mush it up for me. By the way I really liked my mushed vegetables combo that Mum makes me!
Bye!

What fun I had this week

So I had a fun week, I got to go out in the buggy a lot and got to see a load of fun new things and places. Since the weather is a lot nicer now Mum has taken me to the river and I got to see all the lilly pads on the water and I saw my first conker yesterday.
My week was just so busy, I had lunch with my friend Mika and her friend Miku, we just chatted about toys and stuff. I got to see my friend Daniel on Thursday and I had so much fun playing with all his toys. He's a lot older than me, but I really liked playing with him and crawling through the tunnel that he had in his house.I had a crawl date with Maia on Friday and I met some other boys that she knows. I got a bit tired so Mum took me home early. I spend the evening with Dad because Mum was going out with her friend Shauna to see The Swell Season. Mum took loads of pics this week, which are here

I went to the Zoo...

Hi everyone,
Mum took me to the Zoo today. I had a good time. We went to Stone Zoo which is in Stoneham, so it was only a quick ride in the car. I liked that, I got to read my Elmo goes to the Zoo book on the way there. Mum pushed me around in my buggy so I could see all the animals. Some of them were sleeping and some I couldn't see at all, but I did get to see the bears, and some cougars and some birds. Mum took some pictures which you can see here : http://picasaweb.google.com/aodonovan/NickySTripToTheZoo#

Mum says she'll try and take me to a farm soon so I can see some other animals and maybe get to pet some. I'll let you know if I do...
Take care
Nicky

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
