Is anyone else suffering from Spring fever? Over the past few weeks, we have been outside as much as possible, at least when the temperature gets above 40 degrees. We've been taking walks in the stroller, and checking out the yard. Nicholas seems to love the great outdoors. He can be in the middle of a major meltdown, and as soon as the fresh air hits his face, he calms down. (We'll file that away for warmer weather!) He seems interested in the birds chirping too. How could he not be an animal lover growing up in this house? As you can see, he was fascinated with his Uncle Tim's chameleon last weekend too.
Since my last post, Nicholas has been eating lots of new menu items, like sweet potatoes, bananas, pears, carrots, and oatmeal. This kid has never met a food he didn't devour happily. Yup, he's definitely ours! It's been interesting judging which foods to give him, how much, and how often. Not to mention discovering the surprising effects that solid food has on his diapers. Good Lord! We may have to invest in some industrial strength nose plugs for the chaging table. Yuck.
We are now just short of one month off the back of his head, and there is some progress, but not as much as we'd like. His head is still pretty flat, but we think it's beginning to round out a little. His hair is starting to fill 
in too, so we think that will help. The huge bald spot in back really draws attention to his flat spot! We're working hard and keeping our fingers crossed. We've been pushing the tummy time too, but that has been torture! This picture was taken after some tummy time - after the screaming stopped of course. He's getting there. Honestly, I think he's going to roll over before he can raise his head up off the floor. He can also pull himself up to a seated position, and stand up with very little help. If he had his way, he'd stand all day. He can bear all of his weight on his legs, and is very strong. Yikes. Apparently Todd walked at eight months, so anything is possible. Better sleep now!
