Vacation in Vegas

We spent last week with Susan & Pete in Las Vegas (or Su-su and Pee-ah, according to Nicholas). Susan put us up in a spare bedroom and both she & Pete showed us all the town. Nicholas had his first (and second) tantrum ever and we're hoping not to see too many more of those! We hope it had to do with the long flight and time change, but only time will tell. Nicholas is now quite an accomplished runner and climber. From some of the photos (under 2005, vacations, vegas) you'll see him climbing monkey bars and the stairs to some very tall slides. Also noteworthy is Nicholas' vocabulary. He's speaking more and more phrases and some short sentences (like "How are you? I'm fine") and is seemingly able understand most questions and directions. He'll answer yes or no to let you know whether he wants to do or eat something and he'll let you know when he doesn't want to do or eat something. He's also able to repeat many words & names (most clearly) and knows to say please, thank you, bless you and excuse me, as a situation dictates. Pete
