On this command, Mamma Kristin taught Nikolaus to point at the light source, which he did with great enthusiasm long before he could talk! |
|
Eskimokuss! |
From 8 months |
That is, "kissing" by rubbing nose to nose with someone. Peter learned him to do this, and with 8 months Nikolaus started giving us an Eskimo-kiss when we asked for one! |
|
Der flieger (the flyer) |
From 4 months to 9 months |
With both arms straight out, and arms and feet above the ground balancing only on his belly - making a "brrrrrrrrrr" sound with his lips. Just like flying an airplane! |

When he gets something he likes, he responds with a cheerful "nam nam". |
|
Diet at 24 months. |
Nikolaus is a real sweet tooth, and loves it when he gets cakes, cookies or chocolate. He can eat 3-4 servings of ice cream and still crave more. He also loves cheese and butter - butter he would prefer to eat plain out of the box, but is not allowed to…. He eats basically everything, but is not too keen on plain meats, rather prefers them served manufactured like hot dogs or fish cake. Favorite bread spread is "Prim"! |

|
Language at 24 months. |
Nikolaus now speaks sentences. "Hvor er grønne toget mamma?" (Where is the green train mummy). "Nå blir det bra Astrid" (Now everything will be OK Astrid). "Mamma komme hit" (Mummy come here). "Pappa er på jobben liggesykkel" (Daddy is at work (with) recumbent). Since he started speaking sentences, he has mostly spoken Norwegian. But he has a good vocabulary of German and understands everything you say to him. Nikolaus knows the name of many different flowers and birds. He knows the colors in both languages, and the names of anyone who is close to him. He actually has an incredible memory of people and their names- even those he met a long time ago. A useful capability! |
Favorite toys and activities

Toy |
Comment |
|
4-8 months |
Wurmi |
A colorful worm (se pictures) he received as a birth gift from aunt Siri and uncle Sigurd and Jørgen. It could rassle, squeak and crunch - and was nice and soft. In the yellow face there was a red nose, just like a nipple. This nipple was always especially popular, along with the blue tentacles. |
|
|
Baktus |
A small grey elephant that rested in his bed from the day he came home from the hospital. Kristin received Baktus as a present from Peter when Nikolaus was born. The first months Nikolaus was not interested, but around the age of 4-5 months he discovered Baktus and was the first thing he grabbed hold on to when we put Nikolaus to bed! |
|
|
Frau Wildners toy |
A plastic (to Peters disappointment) rassel in bright colors. In one end a bell making a loud super noise, and in the other end a yellow ring to bite on to. In the middle nice rings in different colors that can be touched and moved and shaken. The one rassel he seems not to get tired of! |
|
10-12 months |
Our telephone books and CD's |
Within reach of Nikolaus, they were always pulled out of their shelves, and the pages of the telephone book torn out. At the age of 12 months he slightly lost interest (the CD's were in the meantime moved out of reach) |
|
|
Fibbi the Frog |
A lego frog that spits water if you press down the button on top. Nikolaus' favorite bathing toy. |
|
|
Soft rings |
A soft pole with rings of various sizes and colors that you put on the pole. The rings all have different rattle sounds. Nikolaus really enjoyed them, and was pretty clever at getting them onto the pole. |
|
|
Bimbo and Bambine |
Large toy elephants, the "parents" of Baktus. They are in moms and dads sleeping room, and Nikolaus throws himself enthusiastically at them whenever he gets the chance! |
|
12-14 months |
Duplo |
Lots of fun with those Legos! |
|
|
Swimmingpool from Oma |
Simply because Nikolaus loves to bathe and splash, and the "blow up" swimming pool is a favorite now in the summertime |
|
|
Wagon from bestemor |
Wagon Nikolaus can walk behind (Brio). He not only walks behind, but sets himself into the carriage. |
|
|
Balls! |
Balls of all kinds. He loves to throw a ball around, and crawl after it. That "ball" was his first word is a token of his admiration of these fantastic things. |
|
|
Animal books |
Animal "pointing" books is his favorite academic adventure. |
|
|
Our wakeup radio |
Which he has learned to turn on and off. Whenever he turns it on, he stands at our bed and "dances" to the music. |
|
|
Putting things into and out of boxes. |
All variations……. |
|
18-19 months |

|
Balls - of all kinds |
Always fun to play with |
|
|

|

|
24 months |
Duplo |
Still a lot of fun with thos legos |
|
Brio train |
He loves it when we set up his wooden railway, and eagerly helps in building it. Driving the trains and loading them is also a lot of fun. |
|
|
Football |
He has a good kick, prefers his left foot though. |
|
|
Tricycle |
His tricyle now has pedals. Favorite his putting it at the top of the hill in our driveway and driving full speed against the garage, where he puts his feet down to stop the bike. |
|
|
Books |
Before bedtime, he has the patience to cool down with a book and being read for. Favorites now are "Molly the mice (learning colors, numbers and opposites", "Larven aldri mett" (The still hungry caterpillar) as well as the German books |
|
|
Songs |
When being sung for by mummy, the favorites are "Fola fola blakken" and "Jeg vil bygge meg en gård". Daddy's favorites? |
|
|
Jumping |
Nikolaus love to jump off rocks, stairs - anything at a decent height above the ground. |
|
|
Being outside in general |
Nikolaus is a real outdoors lover. He always wants to play outside when he gets the chance to. |
|
|
Playing in the sand |
Making "sand cakes" - and then destroying them, and digging holes, is a never ending enjoyable activity |
|
|
Running |
Running full speed, he loves to demonstrate the ability of his tiny legs |
|
|
Climbing |
Show him a rock, and he will climb it |
|
|
Studying worms, insects and snails |
Any tiny moving object is utterly fascinating for Nikolaus. Snails, spiders, ants, bees, beetles….. He has learned to blow on any insect - not hit it - to avoid him being stung. He has also been taught that worms and snails should be moved to the compost. |
|
|
Swings |
Nikolaus loves to swing, outdoors - or indoors in his daddy's hammock. |
|
|
Traveling with moving objects. |
Sailing or rowing a boat, driving a car or bicycle, driving the tram or bus or train - or flying: if you give he the chance to go, he is utterly happy to be on his way. He has hours of patience when sitting in a car. When we try driving in the evening - hoping that he will sleep - that is mostly unsuccessfull….. |
