He's getting so big!

I'm sure it won't be too long before the little man is walking. He's started maneuvering around the furniture, walking from the entertainment center to the couch to the love seat to the chair. Every once in a while he must forget that he can't do it without holding on, and he takes a tumble. But just yesterday he let go of his safety net at least three times and stood all on his own for a few seconds. He's definitely getting stronger. Where did my little baby go???

On another note, we won a small battle with Nico's sleeping habits. John has never been able to get Nico to go to sleep. This is probably my fault because he often nurses to sleep, but none the less, I pretty much always have to get up with him in the night. Since I've been keeping Charlotte, I have to get out of bed around 6:3o in the mornings. John doesn't usually get up until about 7:45. Nico is almost always in our bed at that time. With me getting up so early, Nico started waking up early too. No fun for Daddy, because I'm in the shower and getting ready so he just has to deal with a fussy boy. But for the past 3 days, John has gotten Nico back to sleep! Yay! He's slept until about 7:45 or 8:00 which is great! It allows me to get Charlotte fed and changed before he wakes up. I snapped this picture the other morning because I thought it was just too cute.

My sleeping boys.
Oh, and the other night Nico woke up around 1 am. I decided to let John see what he could do. Nico cried for quite a while, but I just left them in there to work it out. After about 10 minutes or so, Nico gave it up and went back to sleep! He didn't wake up again until about 3:30 to eat! John was so proud and so was I!
