It’s a parade!
Nicholas saw his first parade today! We took him to the Happy Holly Days Parade here in our town. It was such a cute little parade, but it has really grown since last year. We were there an hour and it was only halfway done. Nicholas ‘ooohed’ at the fire truck and police car sirens, danced to the marching bands and thoroughly enjoyed the mini-race cars. He does this new thing of saying ‘oooooh’ to new things, things he likes, etc. It is really adorable!
After the parade, Matthew took Nicholas home while I went to the SPA! I used the gift certificate that they got me for my birthday. I got a glorious 60 minute Swedish massage then a mani/pedi.
I had never had a pedicure before today. But can I just say that I can see how people get addicted to them! I feel so good and it was so very nice to be pampered all afternoon! The boys had fun hanging out here doing guy things like playing tag around the dining room table.
On the walking front, he is doing it more and more! And for longer distances. He is walking to more than just me or Matthew but to toys or really anything now. He is building his confidence so quickly! The only drawback is that walking means that your head is higher from the ground… so the harder you fall! He has a lovely scratch and egg on the side of his forehead from a tumble yesterday. He is fine and thankfully his bangs cover it up!

That spa visit sounds amazing – I’d kill for an hour long massage! I bet you enjoyed every minute of it.
And I’m thrilled to hear that Nicholas is getting the hang of walking. It’s a HUGE milestone and I bet you’re so thrilled with your little guy.
