Breakfast!!

Hi Niko Fans,

I love Breakfast. Sometimes, it is the best meal I eat all day. I tend to be a light eater. Mommy doesn't know how I do it. I won't eat a lot and I never complain about being hungry. I would not say I am a picky eater - but Mommy wishes I would eat more. She does give me snacks - way before meals, and that helps. These pictures were taken when I was craving oatmeal. Mommy made me toast and I said "no" - but she did not believe me, and I did not eat the toast. When I saw her heat up the oatmeal, I went to my seat and got ready to eat. Mommy has never seen me do this before. I ate the oatmeal like a champ. The spoon was only a suggestion, I much rather use my hands :)

Everyday, I surprise my Mommy. I am becoming more independent. I am still stuck to my Mommy like glue - but if she asks me to get my coat - I will. If she tells me to wipe my face with a napkin - I will. If Mommy tells me to go get something - I will. My language and motor skills improve everyday. Mommy is totally amazed by my little boy skills - she realized this week - that I am no longer a baby :(

My mommy does have one request - My sleeping pattern. Yep, it's still messed up. Mommy thinks she saw a tooth this morning. She has to get a closer look. She did buy me a humidfier. It did ok last night - once I fell asleep. I have a mean Mommy! She refuses to let me sleep with her, she is cutting the time of rocking me to sleep (it doesn't work that well anymore - anyway) and sometimes she just leaves me in my room. I have two cries - one is a spoiled cry (which I use a lot) and the other one is a sick - scare cry. I use number 1 a lot and Mommy does not come rushing in. She is hoping this will help the sleep situation. We shall see.

Mommy keeps telling me that the man in the red suit will visit us soon. I tell her "no". She tells me we are going to bake cookies for that man, and I say "no". She better hope I sleep through that night and not stay up and be afraid of that man with a beard.

We will try to take pictures of our NEW Christmas Eve tradition. Mommy has a few fun things to do. Have a wonderful Wednesday!!! Love, Niko
