He truly captivates me
I would freeze time to keep him exactly like this
FOREVER

Over the weekend...
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Sometime over the weekend, Nicky and Brandon turned another month old on December 10th. Nicky 31, and Brandon 17 months. Since the last monthly update, only slight changes. Both boys continue to grow and develop faster than I can keep up.
Nicky continues to talk and say things that make us laugh. For example, today he went one by one through our family saying, "Mommy is a Stegosaurus, Daddy, is a Stegosaurus, Papa is a Stegosaurus, Booba is a Stegosaurus, Grandpa is a Stegosaurus, Brandon is a Stegosaurus, Shauna is a Stegosaurus, and Valerie is a shark!"
He is random. He is full over curiosity and developing his comedic charm. He likes to talk in funny voices and make faces. He dances in this cute little side to side way of his and swings his arms close by his side. He is silly. He is goofy. He asked me to "feel his leg muscle" last night. He loves to sing songs and knows a handful by heart. He kisses every beauty mark. He is completely bi-polar too. One minute happy and sweet as can be the next throwing the worlds, largest and loudest tantrums. He has caused us to download thousands of parenting books to manage this nightmare.A huge new change for us is the sleep. While he has reverted to fighting us tooth and nail to get into bed, he sleeps through the night. Its refreshing.
Brandon on the other hand, hit 17months and decided that he doesn't need to sleep through the night. I think its just a phase and we seem to calm him down pretty quick. The big difference is that he is in a crib and if we let him cry he cant get out.... I hope this doesn't last so we can have both boys sleeping soon. I pray its before the new baby comes. I updated a couple weeks ago that Brandon is talking so much more. He is growing verbally and in personality. He had a growth spurt and is getting taller and leaner. He is so much more interested in books and Dan and I try to spend more time alone with Brandon. He seems to thrive on this attention. He also loves to dance and he shakes his little butt to music. In the car he moves and bops every time the music comes on. He is fascinated with dogs right now and yells out "puppy". He happily sits in his wagon when we walk to the mailbox. He is attached to Daddy. He screams "dada" the minute I drive up to the house and hops up and down in his seat until Dan comes out to get him from the car. He eats Gerber yogurt melts like they are baby crack. He is an angel. He is so sweet. He is so different from Nicky. Its amazing they are brothers, so close, but yet so different and far apart.
Time is going by so fast...before I know it, Nicky will be three...we will have a new baby and then Brandon will be two. I'll be documenting all the funny things Brandon says just like Nicky, and Nicky will be learning to write and read, and a newborn in the house to keep me even busier. I am so happy I will have this to look back; to share with all of my babies when they grow up. That makes me happy. Here are some recent pictures of them from our trip to see Val in Park City

Nicky Adventures
Monday, November 23, 2009
Nicky did great on the plane. He didn't sleep, but he was very good. We arrived in Park City and there was just a little snow, even though I brought a full on snow suit and all his new snow gear. I kept my secret all week, but couldn't wait to surpise her at her front door. I called her on my way up the mountain I was so excited.
Nicky saw snow for the first time at Vals house and said EWWWW when he touched it. Baby steps. Nicky did pretty good at the race on Friday night but after about 2 and a half hours the cold got too much and Nicky has a mini meltdown. Thanks to Shauna's family and the girls friend Nina, we were able to keep him warm enough to get to the car. Once we got to the car, he quickly fell asleep in my arms. Val and Shauna didn't have a great start to the season, but there are more races and its a big year for both of them.We met Val and Shauna after the race at Redstone brewery for dinner. Nicky had fun , hestayed up till 10 pm and danced in the streets in Park City.
It was good to see Val and spend time with her before she left for 9 weeks to go on tour in Europe. Nicky loves Val (Vawl) and loved spending time with Grandma Booba (Bubba) and Grandpa Bob (Pa Pa).
The rest of the trip was spent exploring Park City and we headed up to the Utah Olympic Park to take pictures of Nicky in the bobsled and explore the museum. Its snowed on our last day and Nicky loved to catch snowflakes on his tongue. It was a great trip and the ride home was just as nice. Nicky danced in the airport to Pour Some Sugar On Me and made everyone laugh. He is so charming! I loved this picture of Nicky on the plane with his Nemo.
I posted more pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/victoriaabeling/sets/72157622718265601/with/4120757038/
