Nico: 4 months and as happy as ever...

 We are all so in love with you...

Four months of easy, happy, and loving those around you.  Right back at you, kid.

Nico, I love...

My sweet boy,

I love how when you are feeding and tired, you put a hand over your eye to block out the light.

I love how when you are sitting on my lap facing away from me, you tilt your head back and look up at me.

I love your fake coughs when you are bored or want attention.

I love that you smile so easily and frequently.

I love your belly laugh when we tickle you or say 'Gotcha!'

I love how you curl into me when you have just woken up.

I love that you love your brother SO much, and the way you look at him and talk to him, always waiting for him to smile back at you.

I love the excitement in your body and face when you know naked time is coming.

I love how when I lay you on my lap, you automatically life you head to try to sit up, even though you don't have the strength yet.

WHAT YOU ARE UP TO THESE DAYS...
You:

• do tons of kicking...you especially love 'playing' the piano
• just learned about the jolly jumper and have your 20 minute work out at the same time as me
• love music, especially to dance to in your jolly jumper
• chat all the time.  Kai probably taught you about that.
• sucking and chewing on things constantly.  We are pretty sure you must be teething.
• you got your four month shots.  They threw you off for a few days and you wanted to be held, but you were such a trooper.
• love to slam your feet down while on your back, especially to let us know that you have woken up in the morning
• scratch your face all the time, you poor guy

We are so lucky to have you in our lives, you wonderful little boy.  We love you to the moon and back.
