Nicholas Maravillas’ Blog

Nicholas had his first taste of meat the other week- chicken.  I poached a plain old chicken breast and pureed it up.  It looked gross so I can’t blame him for the bad faces!  The only way he ate even a little was when it was all mixed up with his favorite squash or sweet potatoes. I think he’d eat dirt if it were covered in squash.

And much to my surpise, he loves zucchini!

And since he finished all of his zucchini the other night, he got dessert- a nilla wafer!  Although he wasn’t sure at first, he became a quick fan.  We gave him the whole thing to gnaw on but it sort of crumbled so I just gave him pieces.  Which is cool because he is so much better at the pincer grasp and feeding himself.  He gets cheerios and puffs for a snack daily.  He loves feeding himself!

In addition to new foods, he has a new trick… he pulls up to stand!! I haven’t found him standing in his crib yet, but he pulls up on me, Matthew, the coffee table and his ‘office’.  He is just so proud of himself!

We are going to pack up his swing, baby bathtub, tummy time playmat and bouncey seat this weekend.  It is neat but makes me sad that he isn’t a ‘baby’ anymore.  That swing and seat sure did serve us well.  He took plenty of naps in them his first few months.  But now the swing won’t even swing on the highest setting… not even with a push! Is it just me or does he not even look like the same kid?!

Lastly, here are some cute pictures from the past couple of days.  Enjoy!
