So what's Nicolas like at seven months old?
Well for starters he smiles all the time...as soon as he makes eye contact he smiles. He has a great temperament and I still say he's our easiest going baby.
He loves to jump in his "jumper" - he could do this all day if we let him. Consequently, his legs are superhero strong.
He loves his sister. He watches her, listens for her, and as soon as he spots her in the room his eyes are glued to her. And Sky knows how to keep Nicolas entertained....she does all kinds of acrobatics, she sings, she makes funny faces, she laughs hysterically, or whatever it takes to keep her "Moon Moon" entertained.
He adores his brother. I can already tell that Nick is going to be Aiden's shadow in no time. I am amazed at how similar the two brothers are already. Many of Nicolas's mannerism are an exact copy of Aiden's when he was the same age...the expressions they make, the food they prefer, the type of things that grabs their attention, their perpetual motion legs, their ready to play hide-n-seek and chase....just everything! Like my Dad says ( a Farsi saying) "they are one apple, two halves".
He takes two naps a day - one in the morning for about an hour and then a second nap in the afternoon for about two hours.
His favorite foods: butternut squash, apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, rice cereal, oatmeal, pears, mangos, and BREAD. Yes, he's already tried a little bread and of course his favorite is naan (Afghan bread)...the kid has good taste.
His nicknames (cause you know this family does a lot of nicknames!): Moon Moon (Sky and just about everyone else), Mun (Sky and Mommy), Nickster (Aiden & Adam), Sweet Sir (Mommy & Daddy), Foos (Mommy), Nico (Grandma), Balong (Teresa), Mr. Berry Good (Mommy and Aiden), Bache-Gul-e-Ma (Bobba)
He does well at tummy-time...he's pushing up well and he' can roll over both ways (front to back and back to front).
He's definitely teething and my bet is that we'll see a tip of a pearly white within the next ten to fourteen days. BTW - both Aiden and Sky got their first tooth at seven months.
Nicolas also knows how to get Aiden and Sky's attention (already a performer) he does the longest, loudest, wettest raspberries and he thinks it hilarious. Aiden and Sky love it too and they cheer him on to do more...I love it too I just wish I could get to my dang iphone so I could record it for the blog. Check it out below!

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at all the things you can do now that you are seven months old.
You are such a good eater with so many diverse favorites just like your older brother and sister.
And they adore you. You are the center of their life. Pretty soon you'll have teeth and you'll be crawling and your whole world will change once you are mobile.
Aiden and Sky are going to love all the trouble you are going to get into. You give them so many things to laugh about and you won't even have to try.
Nicolas, we're so glad you are you and you are 7 months old. Happy birthday!!
