weekend adventures

Last weekend we went to North Jersey to see Titi Chela. It was such a great time! We got to go to Staten Island to see Aunt Rachel, Titi Chela and Aunt Rachel took all of us to the Staten Island Zoo, Nico's first trip to the zoo, Staten Island, and North Jersey! He was great. We ended up going out to dinner pretty late and I was not sure how he would handle it. Let me tell you, he did awesome! He just sat in his high chair until he fell asleep, and then into Mommy's arms until we left. He slept the whole 2 hours ride home and we put him right in his crib and out until the next morning.



This week Nico has decided that he WILL crawl. Out of no where, he's on his knees just gettin' around. He now has 2 bottom teeth, is drinking out of a sippy cup, and had pancakes for the first time today! He has been so clingy to Mommy for the past few days, not sure why. He's been crawling around daycare calling for Ma ma and Mommm,his teacher told me. We just need some extra TLC this weekend.


Nico has continued to want to walk and will walk with you holding your hands. He will walk along the couch and takes off in his walker at lightning speed:)So fun to play with. We are working on sharing with him right now. It is cute and sad at the same time. When we play with him, we ask if we can take a turn with his toy, which he gladly hands over to us, but then starts to cry. So sad:( We then say, "now it's Nico's turn again", and we give it right back. He is learning.


His favorite toy is his shapes, colors, and counting cookie jar. It sings and lights up when you take a shape out or put your hand in. His favorite snack is veggie dip crunchies. Like cheese puffs, but veggie flavor. He really doesn't have a favorite food, he likes all his fruits and veggies.


Nico is 8 months Beautiful and counting. AHHH, I just love him so much!
