The summer of 2000 was a big summer for Nicholas! He got a lot of teeth, and learned a lot of new things. This summer, he walked, ran, and could even say a few words – and he understood what they were (mama, dady, papa, baba).

Here are some highlights:

First, we can't expect Nick to face summer without the proper protection, so he quickly learned how to wear sunglasses and a baseball cap. In this picture, he's about 13 months old and summer has just begun.

Nicholas got his first haircut at about 14 months. He was very happy about it, and behaved himself quite well.

Nicholas enjoyed playing in the water at the park, where he liked to run and play. He really enjoys playing on the slide and swinging on the swing.
