Now we can add:

HAPPY

Buh Bye (with a wave)

Hi

Hola

Luna

Vivi( Peter's Mom)

Lani(Short for Leilani-Mommy's Friend)

"The End"

ya

All done

Nigh Nigh (on cue!)

Caballo (horse)

Flores (flowers--and our last name)

Scuse Me (Excuse me)

Tito (anthony--Peter's Brother)

Pease (Please)

And a whole bunch of other words that his neighbors(Alexander and Madeline) are teaching him EVERYDAY. It's so fun to see him communicate, imitate sounds, and tell me how he feels about things.

He also tries to read---and at the end says: THE END.

Motor Skills:

• He loves building things; lining all his cars up to race, putting the "cookies" or shapes into the "cookie jar"; getting on super dangerous things....haha.
• My dad taught him how to shake hands this trip.
• One bad thing is that in the last couple days he's started hitting things and ME! So I need to figure out how to address that.

Eating Habits:

He's gotten a lot pickier!!!! But obviously still eating

well since he is a solid 28lbs!

Sleep habits: Well he was doing a lot better since we put up the DARK CURTAINS in his room. However this month Papa went out of town and Nico really missed him...so he didn't sleep to well. And now we came to Miami--with a 3 hr time difference (which is nothing compared to what his friend Miles has to go through going to and from Austin and Malaysia--so I'll stop complaining).

OTHER:

This trip to Miami has been amazing! We got to hangout with all the abuelitos, tias, tios, primos, and other baby friends. Don't worry--I'll post a full report (with Pictures and all) about this trip later.

Nicolon,

Te Amo mi REY! Thank you for being SOOO LOVING, for all those little hugs, for the flower you gave me and all the laugh attacks we have shared! I hope when you grow up and read this you don't think Mommy is weird--but that she wanted you to see all the FUN THINGS we got to do together and ALL THE PEOPLE who have loved you so much since the MOMENT we heard you would be joinging us!!!

Love,

Mama
