Tonight Nicholas stood unassisted for what was probably a solid 5-6 seconds! It felt like forever. He has done it once or twice before, but only for a second at most. He is like a cartoon character--he is actually fine but he doesn't trust himself and once he realizes that he isn't holding on to anything, he panics and starts flailing around for something to grab onto, which of course causes him to fall.
The other random update from today is that the boy apparently likes cottage cheese . . . after it has been in his mouth for a couple seconds. It was hilarious to watch, actually. I'd give him a spoonful and he'd make a face of disgust. But then he'd finish eating it and ask for more (in "Nicholas-ese," which consists of a particular tone rather than any particular syllable or sign) and open up for the next spoonful. Only to make a face of disgust again. Whatever--he is eating a new food option that gets him some protein, is comparatively cheap, and requires no prep work.
