Hey Everyone! Oi gente!Dear Nicholas,
My goodness! You are already onto the second half of your first year! At 24 pounds, 27.5 inches, and with a giant head that is way off the charts, you are much bigger than we could have expected at the tender age of seven months. We love to admire your big blue eyes with their long black lashes, your expressive eyebrows, your button nose and big rosy cheeks... how did this beautiful boy find us? You have a wonderful sense of humor, giggling back and forth with Mommy, and raising a ruckus with Daddy as you play catch and hang upside down. Your babbling skills are in full force-- you repeatedly announced "Ba-ba-ba-ba-BA!" through the aisles of Wegman's today, and Mommy, like the crazy lady she is, babbled right back at ya. You are doing so well with your foods-- you love the highchair, to get your puffs and pick them up and put them in your mouth. Delicious! Last night you had some homemade banana yogurt, which was truly tasty. Your grandparents get to watch you chow down over Skype-- how cool!
Lately you have been enjoying playing with blocks and you don't hesitate to knock down the towers Mommy and Daddy build for you. You insist on playing the piano *by yourself*, moving our hands away from the keys. You do get a little jealous when Mommy takes care of Ainsley during the babysitting swap, but mostly you are very patient, loving, and fun.
This upcoming month will be very exciting for you: your first plane ride (oh boy...), getting to meet the Brazilian clan, maybe crawling (you're getting so strong!), eating lots of wonderful tropical fruits (eat lots of papaya, says Grandma Spofford!). It is a joy to watch you grow and develop into yourself. We love you sooooooooo much!
Hugs and Kisses,
Mommy, Daddy, Inca, Manny, and the rest of your family and friends!
