What a Character!

Each day I am seeing so much personality come out of Nic! He cracks me up! I just wish I could constantly carry around a video camera to catch all of the funny things he does, says, even his facial expressions! He has decided that we need to buy a mini seedless watermelon every time we go to the store. He points to them no matter where we are in the store. We could be on the other side of the store and he sees them and we absolutely have to get one. So I walk over pick it up and hand it to him. Before he grabs it, he stretches his arms straight out, clinches his fists, and giggles with delight. Then, he grabs it and slaps it like its a bongo all through the store and even on the car ride home. The other day at Target he said hello and waved to everyone we passed in the store. When they smiled and said Hi back, he giggled and clapped his hands. He's a dancing fool! When we hear music, of any kind, he has to move! He loves to hand you food and take it away real fast before you can take it. He thinks that is a great joke! I always fall for it, too. He has decided he wants to watch the movie "Over the Hedge" everyday. He goes to the DVD tower and brings it back to me. He is relentless, too. He will just keep patiently handing it to me until I play it for him. He doesn't ever watch the whole thing, but he loves the first half hour of it. After that he just drifts in and out. He will usually go over to his couch and lay back to watch it, such a little man :) Then, the other day Sophia and Colton came over to play and Nic was in his plays house and the other 2 were next to him at the sand and water table. Nic flung open the shutters to the playhouse and yelled "Colton!" ,plain as day, then started laughing! Had I not seen him do it, I would have sworn it was Sophia who is almost 3! Sometimes, he just amazes me with the things he says. He doesn't say "real" words often, but when he does you know exactly what he is saying! Makes me think he is holding out on us! ;)

In this picture, Nic had just come in from playing in his pool and I had layed him down on the floor to change his clothes but refused to let me put a diaper on him. He was so happy to be walking around the house naked eating his baby "cheetos", petting his Osacr dog. ( Who was only sitting with because he was hoping for a dropped cheeto)

(I did some cropping of this picture for obvious reasons)

The other day during dinner Kurt had out the tongs and Nic had to have them and he started doing this with them

He kept putting them up to his ears like they were a stethoscope.

Then, after a long day of playing outside, he came in still wearing his spiderman sweatband. I put it on him thinking he would rip it off, but he loved it! I tried to take it off and he put it back up to his head grunting for me to put it back on! Too cute :)


There are so many little stories like these. He is just growing so fast, its hard to keep track of them all!
