New tricks

One of Nic's newest "tricks" is to take the pacifier out of his mouth, hold it in his hand for a bit (sometimes waving it around like crazy) and then attempting to put it back in his mouth. Sometimes he is more successful than others and occasionally he tries to put it back in backwards or sideways. He doesn't seem to care as long as there is something to chew on. Yesterday Nicolas was waking up from a nap and I knew he was awake but was waiting for him to roll himself over, so I went into the office for a minute or two. When I went back into the nursery, Nicolas had turned himself about 180 degrees and was trying to inch toward the stuffed giraffe that is in the corner of the crib. He scooted (precursor to a crawl!) over to it, grabbed it with his hands and rolled over so he could play with it. I'd never seen him do anything like that before and it was pretty cool. Of course, he thought he was just such a big shot after that one :-)He slept great again last night. Didn't wake up at all during the night and slept until about 5am this morning. Two good nights in a row - can this last????? Mommy hopes so.
