How many peeps is it safe to feed a 1-year old? I made the mistake of working on my peep diorama for work and of eating a peep in Nikolai’s presence. Suddenly the colorful toys he was not allowed to have became a colorful food he was not allowed to have. He just sat there and cried pointing at the pile of peeps, so of course I gave in and gave him a taste. Sugar coated sugar is apparently now a new favorite food.
I took Nikolai to the grocery store Friday to pick out things for his Easter basket. Since he is young, I did not think it would matter if he saw everything in advance. When we got to the stuffed animals, I pulled out a cute, soft bunny and showed it to him. He glanced at it and then grabbed a bright pink care bear and held it to his cheek. We compromised with a yellow care bear. I would never have chosen a care bear myself, but I can see why he would – the bear is shaped like a person, it has big eyes, and a tuft of fur on top, which he kept playing with at the store. Nik then saw the rack of balls and kept saying “ball” so he got a batman ball for his basket. We finished it off with some Gerber puffs, pear baby food, bubbles, and a whole peep. When he opened the basket on Easter he pulled everything out, ate the peep, threw the bear aside and put the basket on shoulder like a hand bag. He really enjoyed the bubbles at bath time, though.
We spent Easter day in Pennsylvania, which was fun. Nikolai got to spend time with his Grammy, and Abby, the big black lab.

Hey, I just read your comment about language skills on the yahoo group. The same thing happened with Kobe. While in Kaz he learned about 10 different words & we couldn't believe how quickly he was picking up English. Once we got home, he learned another 10 words & would focus on 3-4 words. He would say those new words all the time. He didn't use some of the first words again probably for a month or two. He didn't learn any new words for a while but seemed to understand exactly what we were saying. Now he is saying new words every day. He is almost mimicing us word by word. I think it is just sooo much to process.
I hope things are well with all of ya'll. Kobe doesn't eat much but he sleeps well. It must be that he is constantly moving whenever he is awake!!!!!!
