I had to put a lock on the refridgerator. He was getting in Mommy’s way while she is trying to make dinner. Not that he breaks things, but he lets the door swing open and crash. Although he does try to eat the ketshup. And once he took the Log Cabin in the living room and I just got to him as he overturned it on the couch. Only one drop got on the cushion.
I guess when he tried to get into the locked fridge, he cried and banged on the door. Then he beat his temples. Now he is ok that the fridge is “broken.”

Nicco will be playing more outside now. There’s supposed to be some playground items being setup in the backyard soon. He runs around fast now compared to last year.

Great Uncle Joe got Nicco a train for Christmas. He basically pushes the cars and engine off the track. Although he’s getting better with it. He gets older as we bring it out and wants to play with it (not like a ball). The train is a Thomas engine that is battery powered. Nice!

He likes to make a mess. If you clean it right up, he only wrecks it again. It’s best just to leave it for a while. Then he sits in it.
I added a new movie to Nicco’s Movie Page. He was out in the snow and found out what his echo sounds like. He also learned to say “echo.” Here’s the new movie.

He likes his dog that makes noise when you pull it. But can’t he just wear some clothes when he does it?
The dog either barks and pants or barks the “Old MacDonald” song.

He likes to take all the diapers out of the holder he is sitting on. Usually he throws them over the gate and down the stairs. This time he piled them on the floor and sat in the diaper holder. Here’s the after picture:


He likes the big Lego blocks. He can build tall buildings and then knock them over. He knows the colors, too. They used to all be “Orange.” But now he knows some of the other colors as well. Actually, it looks like he’s playing with the socket from the picture.

He sure is happy. He’s still missing his eye teeth on both sides and the corresponding ones on the bottom.
He says, “Please,” and “Thank you.” The “Please” is more like “ease”, and “Thank you” is more like “ooo”, but he has the right idea.
If you give him a banana now, he puts it to his ears and says, “Hello?” Interesting. Kinda like the Banana Phone video. Nice.

At last! A person with a good back to clear the snow! We had at least 15″ of snow on Feb 14th. It left the streets lined with very high piles of snow. Nicco went outside and thought they were bubbles from the tub. Now he knows it’s piles of the flakes that fall when it snows. He had trouble walking in his heavy boots. Usually in the house he doesn’t wear any shoes.
