Such a happy boy

Last night I woke up around 12:30am. I wanted Mommy. She came in, changed me, nursed me back to sleep but I woke up as soon as she put me back in my crib. I started screaming again. Mommy couldn't figure it out. She gave me a pacifier which helped a little but I kept screaming. She told me it wasn't time to be awake and that she couldn't pick me back up because she didn't want me to get the wrong idea. She told me to go to sleep and said goodnight and left the room. I cried for a while but she didn't come back. I went back to sleep on my own.

I woke up around 7:45am this morning. Mommy was happy about that. She found me in the crib with my pacifier. Mommy let me keep the pacifier today. I used it on and off all day.
Today was a good Nicky day. I was just in a great mood and very happy. I played with all my toys. I let Mommy wash the dishes while I watched her from my exersaucer.
I spent a lot of time in the pack n' play where I practiced standing up. I also practiced standing on my toy box, on the baby gate, on the fire place, and for the first time, I pulled myself up on the couch so I could pet Apollo. I really tested my limits today because I would stand and then let go to see if I could keep standing. Mommy would lightly hold the back of my shirt so I was still safe but I have a new goal in mind, and you know how I am about reaching my goals.

I SEE YOU!

LOOK MA, ONE HAND!
I FOUND APOLLO!

Even though I took three good naps today (and am back on a steady schedule of three naps a day) I was tired and ready for bed a little after 7pm. That means I didn't see Daddy today, but I should tomorrow. Good night.
