I love 27 month old Nico more than any other month. He is so funny, smart, independent, happy, persistent, loving, and energetic. He knows what he wants and likes. He is always talking and thinking. He has brought more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined. I am so glad that I get to be his mom.
Things he loves to do: hockey in the garage, pushing his own stroller, reading books and doing puzzles, riding his bike in the house, driving his cars, sightseeing in the car and pointing out all of the animals and tractors with such excitement, morning walks, hitting golf balls and baseballs off his tee, going to the zoo and the "jumps" and donuts on Thursdays, cuddling with mommy on the couch, anything outside, playing with friend Derek, ipad games and facetime, hide n seek but only if I hide
He showers by himself for part of the time (Mr. Independent), and then David gets in for part of the time.
He shakes his booty like no other. It's absolutely hilarious.
He likes Mumford and Sons more than any other music.
He pours water into his cup in the bathroom sink and tells us he is making coffee. Then he brings it to us often to try. He loves brushing his teeth, washing his hands, and doing dishes... aka playing in the water.
He picks up on things so quickly and doesn't forget. If you tell him he is going to get to do something when he wakes up from a nap, it's the first thing he will say upon waking.
He loves the dogs and is so sweet and gentle with them (for the most part).
Still attached to his blanket. Loves stuffed animals in his bed, and they all have their place.
When we leave the room after bedtime, he likes to still yell "love you dada, love you mama" until we answer. When we answer back, he chuckles. That's the best little giggle ever. I also love that his little nose crinkles up when he laughs.
TV shows/Movies: He doesn't watch much, and I am a-okay with that! His short list consists of Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Ratatouille aka "cooking mouse," Finding Nemo, Fireman Sam... and sports that we watch.
Some of our favorite words/phrases of his: Come sit right here, mama. Oh my. Careful. Playroom is "payroom." Music is "musket." He speaks in 3rd person and starts with "Nico my __." Says his name is "Nicholas Aaaaaarnold Biagini. Call me Nico. Shouts hook em when you hold up the hand sign. Can call the Hogs correctly (Arkansas Razorbacks). Nico run fast. Sooooooftly. Also, he gets to talking so fast sometimes that he tries to say so many things at once and it's obvious he can't decide what should come out. So cute.
When you ask him what he did today, he always says "jumps" whether he did or not. When you ask him what he ate, he always says "pancakes." When you ask if he has a dirty diaper, he always says "no" in record time. It's funny to me that he has these default answers.
Fav foods: edamame, fruit, pancakes
Songs: ABCs, "Rock-a-baby" for Rockabye Baby, Wheels on the Bus.
David's fav thing: the crunch noise that he makes when he is eating his chips along with the crinkly bag noise whenever he leaves the jumphouse (talk about random/odd!)
My fav thing: the morning routine when I leave for work and he insists on waving outside and yelling at me that he loves me and to be careful. This is usually accompanied by multiple high fives and knuckles too.
His fear: frogs! He saw a frog outside of Derek's house one night and has been terrified since. Had nightmares multiple times and would wake up thinking a frog was in his bed. Poor guy.
Love you, Nico.
