Just had to post a few things Nicholas is now doing…. all of them are blowing us away….

 While playing with his trains on his train table in his bedroom, Nicholas has been very vocal making the sounds of the trains and cars.  Tonight, he added, “Watch OUT!” to his playtime.   Each time, setting up little lincoln logs on the track and when he brings the train around, he’s yelling watch out as he barrels through them.  So cute – and unbelievable.  He’s also saying “Oh No” when the train falls off the track.

Nicholas is saying hi when you walk into his room or passed him.  Before he never said a word, especially if he was engrossed in something.

He is continuing to answer yes/no questions.  Sometimes he answers yes with a nod.  He’s using the sign for more along with saying “more” – we haven’t seen him do this in a long time.

Tonight, I was telling the grandparents how this morning, we tried and tried to wake Nicholas up, but he just kept sleeping – until finally I said, ‘Nicholas, the school bus is coming to pick you up” – then he immediately got out of bed and came running down the stairs to catch the bus in his pajamas.  (luckily we still had some time to get him ready)  As I am telling the grandparents this, Nicholas comes running out of his bedroom and down the hall to get the school bus (it was 9pm.)  Not only did he understand what I meant, but he HEARD me a good 20 feet away – I was downstairs in the livingroom and he was upstairs in his bedroom!

He went outside a bit early to wait for the bus and said to me through the window, “mommy, school bus coming to take me to school?”  Daddy and I both heard it – and he said it twice.

He took Grandma and Grandpa downstairs to see his spaceship – he is very proud of it.  So nice to see!!!!!!!

He knows what money is and knows his quarters, nickels, dimes and pennies.

I dont want to jinx him, but Nicholas was throwing up quite a bit before we started hbot.  Not sure if it was being caused by a mucousy cough which is now gone, but he seems to be keeping down foods much much better than he was.

I have not had to give Nicholas his oxypowder since we were a few days into hbot.  He’s pooping once or twice a day with no problems – we’ve never seen this so good.
