When Nickocie came home from the hospital he only woke up twice throughout the night to eat. By two weeks old he was sleeping from around 10pm until around 7am. He was such a calm pleasant baby from day one.

Nickocie came home from the hospital holding his head up pretty well. He was always wanting to look around and see what was going on 

Around 2 1/2 months Nickocie started to roll from back to belly. He wasn't wasting any time reaching milestones. By 6 months he was rolling completely over.

Nickocie said his first word at about 6 months old. Of course it was "DaDa". "MaMa" wasn't far behind. He also learned to say "Bye" ("Ba") . 7-8 months, When we would get company and they'd leave he would wave and say "Ba".

At around 6 1/2 months old Nickocie started to army crawl. By 7 months old he was crawling everywhere.

Right around 7 1/2 months Nickocie began pulling himself up and standing along the furniture. He was a little wobbly but so determined.

8 months old and Nickocie realized he could walk along the furniture. For such a little boy he had determination, and learned things so quickly.

8 months (5 days shy of 9 months), Nickocie took his very first and only three steps. Unfortunately he fell and hit his head and ended up with a goose egg on his forehead. But I think my baby wanted Mommy to see her biggie boy walk before he learned to fly.

He was teething but his first tooth never came fully through. I think he was making up for the teeth but learning everything else early. His hair was coming in perfectly, such a beautiful blondish color. His eyes stayed the prettiest color of blue. 

These memories, each milestone, I cherish like priceless treasure. When I long for the things he never got to learn or do I remember each little milestone, each little things he did learn and do. I try to be grateful for the moments I did get to cherish.
