It's amazing how fast they change


Mmmmm...washcloth

Nicolai seems like a very different baby from last week. Not the washcloth thing--he's done that for awhile (it was just a recent cute pic), but more verbally and such. He babbles with more deliberate syllables now, noticeable consonants, etc. Definite "baba... dada..." etc., where at best we got a "goo" as a definable syllable. He's also taking to chomping or smacking his lips. That seems to have coincided with enjoying solids more and is one of those things that's terribly cute (like the sucking on a washcloth thing) that one really doesn't expect. Of course, he won't do it when we get the camera rolling, and wouldn't likely be nearly as cute to anyone but us (and maybe his grandparents), but it really is terribly cute. Some days I don't know how Eric & I don't end up daid from teh cute. He really is crazy cute these days.

We're working on transitioning him out of the Amby and back into the cosleeper. He's doing okay with it, but it is harder to transfer him from arms to bed without him waking himself up. I envy people who can just put their babies down and have them go to sleep. I don't know if we'll ever have one of those babies. Neither Eric nor I are easy sleepers, and I feel Nicolai is doomed to the same, poor kid. I guess we'll have to teach him to read early so he can read himself to sleep like his parents. :-)
