My first baby. The most friendly baby ever. He would let anybody hold him and would cuddle on their shoulder with his blanket.

People loved that. He was always very observant of anything odd. This made it hard to take him out where "odd" people may be seen. I was often embarrassed by his honest comments. He was very active and very head strong and very inquisitive. 

In nursery school he did not want to sit at story time because there were other things in the room to discover and he could only sit for a minute or two. 

One day when Nick was about 4, he went to our neighbors who often sat out front on their porch smoking cigarettes and said, "if you don't stop smoking you might die in the afternoon..." Then he told them that they should pick up the cigarette butts that they had thrown over the edge of their porch. 

The neighbor told me what he had told her and she (luckily) thought it was funny. He is funny. Very witty and still very observant. He has a very good and kind heart. He cares deeply for the underdog.
