Nick is into his third month, and evolving from a noisy lump of flesh into a little person. He talks and laughs alot, sometimes for an hour straight, and whether there's someone there to listen or not. He seems to have inherited a talkative gene (must be from his mother.) With the cold weather breaking for a few days, he got out for a nice walk - had to wait for a day when the roads were dry to take that new Jeep stroller for a spin. Still growing into the dog outfit that keeps him warm outside.
Most fun this month was the visit to Taco Bell, which he talked and smiled and scanned the new surroundings intensely. That's my boy.
He got his first round of immunizations this month, and came through like a tough little man. He cried for about one minute during the shots, turned beet red in anger, and then it was over. He refused any pity - never cried again.
He rolled over on his own for the first time this week. I walked away and left him on his play mat for only a minute, and then heard the muffling grunts of an angry baby that was face down and none too pleased to be left that way. I offered a warm bottle as an apology and was quickly forgiven. (That doesn't always work. If I urk him bad enough, he will accept the bottle, but refuse to look at me while he eats.)
He's not doing too well in his first NCAA bracket, but can't complain - the other 136 people in the pool don't realize that half of them have been out-picked by a 3-month old infant thus far (he pointed and we went with it - really!). We're having fun watching the games just the same. He watched the entire MSU/UNC game without interruption (I tried to feed him once and he was not pleased to be interrupted). Once the game was in hand for the Tarheels, it was time to eat. Nothing curbs the disappointment of a tough loss like a good meal.

I will get some videos posted soon.
