Our Nicholas...

is simply amazing!! Nicholas is the happiest little boy as he loves to smile, laugh, and play. He has done so well this first week at home and he is almost feeling 100% better from his cold and ear infection. He went to church for the first time today and met so many members of our church family that have been eagerly awaiting his arrival. Although it was his nap time you would never have known it as he waved, smiled, and pointed at everyone. He was so cute!!

Every day things have been better and better. Nicholas says mama, dada, and bye. He sleeps all night and naps for a couple hours too. So far Nicholas has loved all the foods he has tried with the exception of raspberries. His walking is coming along too. This weekend we bought him a wagon that he can push around the house. He has enjoyed this very much and it will definitely help him to build the confidence to walk on his own. Nicholas has met many family members and the neighbors too! Cooper and Nicholas are still best friends and continue to play together daily! Nicholas has continued to have so many firsts and we simply love watching him learn and explore the world. This has truly been one of the most amazing weeks of our lives. We have been so blessed!
Today I decided to share a couple photos from last Saturday, November 1st -

That is soo awesome that Nicholas is adjusting well. Also that he is attaching well with you two! What a blessing! He has such a wonderful personality from what you have written.

Look forward to "seeing" his growth through the blog!
