Run Daddy Run!!!


The Hobergs have been very busy the last few days. It seems our August and September are filling up with lots of weddings, receptions, and parties! It is busy, but very fun!

On Sunday, Nick ran in his very first race since he started running again. Nicole and I woke up early to get downtown to meet him at the finish line. It was alot of fun! Nicole had so much fun watching the runners and she also got to meet a turtle and a rabbit. She liked talking to them but didn't like it so much when they tried to tickle her...hehe! As we waited for Daddy to approach the finish line, we practiced our "Hoorays!" Nicole recently has learned to say, "Hooray!" and lift her arms in the air, thanks to the song, "If you're happy and you know it". She already knows how to clap her hands and stomp her feet, but recently she caught on to if you're happy and you know it say Hooray! Very cute :) So when we saw Daddy approaching the finish line, we cheered, "Hooray Daddy! Go Daddy!"

The race must have worked up Nicole's appetite. Before the race she had a banana and then she ate a cereal bar right after the race. Then we went over to Gaga Peggy's house and Nicole ate an entire Asiago Panera bagel with cream cheese! For lunch she had another half of a bagel, a grilled cheese sammie, and some pot roast. Seriously...where does she put it? She's a peanut, but eats like a trucker.

This week Nicole's daycare is on vacation, so her and I have been staying with my mom (Gaga Linda's house). Nicole calls her grandmas Gaga, because she can't say Grandma yet. She has been having so much fun at Gaga's house. They were both so tuckered out when I got home from work yesterday! Nicole likes to go around Gaga's house and point out everything that must be baby-proofed. She points to the doggie bowls and says, "Ucky, ucky!" until Gaga moves them. She points to the ceramic breakables and says, "No, no, no!" until Gaga moves them. And she points to the cords on the blinds and says, "No, no, danger!" until Gaga moves those out of reach. What a good baby, showing us what is danger and what she shouldn't touch. She cracks me up! She also has started to check out some good time out spots, sitting in the corners of different rooms. I think the time out spots will come in handy soon...we've caught some glimpes of the terrible twos! Good news is that Nicole seems to learn fast and really does pay attention when we teach her right from wrong, just the same as I learn alot and pay attention to her when she is showing me what needs baby-proofed.
