Show me your muscles!

I have some more words Nico has been saying that I forgot to put in the last post. He says "oh, uh-oh, pup" (for puppy). He used to have the idea of uh-oh but now he purposly drops something and then looks at me innocently and says it! He is repeating animal sounds like baa baa, moo, meow, and he tries to snort like a pig but he thinks it is a noise made in his throat not his nose. He cracks up when I do it though. He loves a book called Peekaboo Farm and when I start to walk towards the rocking chair at night he says "baa baa" because there is a sheep on the front and he wants to read that book. I feel like he is going to be too smart for his own good! If he screams and we tell him "No", he whispers a little scream and looks right at us for a reaction. I usually have to turn my head away instantly so he doesn't see that I burst out laughing. Lou and I were crying because we were laughing so hard the first time he did it. He does the same thing when he opens the cabinet in my bathroom vanity. I tell him "No" so he sits back for a second and then with his pointer finger he looks at me and carefully touches a lotion bottle to see if that is ok or not. He is definately testing his limits. I think he is a little young for all of that. Isn't he just supposed to want to play with toys and be a good calm little boy??? He is my wild little man but amazingly he gets instantly calm when I sing the song "Have Patience." I sing it often now. Sometimes it is the only way I can get a diaper on his little tush! He continues to love the water so bathtime is a highlight of his day. He thinks it is funny when we dump water on his head. We let him play with toys on the floor of our shower when one of us are in there because he loves it so much and he is contained and calm for a while. He will stay in there an hour if we let him. He will definately love the pool this summer. We are going to visit my dad over spring break in Las Vegas so I am looking forward to some pool time with Nico. He is going to have a blast and hopefully I can get a tan!

Here is a video clip I took of Nico this morning. He is proudly showing off his muscles! And you can hear him say Baa Baa as he looks for his book. Notice how cute he looks in his Snuggly Baby Power Letter onesie.
