Updates on the Nico-man!

We still have no crib! *sigh* It's really getting old! Luckily he's been sleeping pretty well at night. Of course, he seems to want to eat more at night since I'm right there beside him, so I hope that doesn't become a habit! Okay, on a brighter note, Nico is doing some new things. When we got our new furniture, we rearranged our living room. Now the fireplace is pretty much blocked off, which is a good thing. Nico always made a bee line straight for it. Now he heads for the entertainment center. Unfortunately, the shelf for the DVD player is open and he can get right to it. For now, I've put his music table in front of it which seems to work pretty well. But sometimes he'll just stand and stare at the TV.

In this one you can see the little finger prints he's left behind.

I guess maybe I shouldn't leave it on all the time, but I just like to have the background noise.
His other new thing is standing up against the wall.

He'll crawl up to the wall and put his hands up on it like he's being held up. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a picture of that yet. Every time I grab the camera he turns around to look at me. He also likes to lick the wall. What a silly guy!

Last weekend Uncle Mike and Aunt Barb had us over and gave us a TON of fruit. They sent us home with a bag of apples, a bag of pears and a bunch of rhubarb. So I decided to make a rhubarb custard cake. I've never worked with rhubarb before and wasn't exactly sure how it would turn out, but I must say it was delicious! And I think the recipe would be just as good with strawberries or raspberries or blackberries or blueberries. Pretty much any kind of berry. Now I just need to go make some applesauce!
