I love Sesame Street podcasts!

Even though the pictures don't convey it, Nicholas gets very excited when it's time for his favorite (and only) podcast. He especially loves Elmo!

Nicholas' new reading spot

Chillin

I have no idea what Nicholas was watching but he sure looks comfy!

Where Did My Baby Go?

I just had Nicholas' 18 month pictures taken and laid out his previous pictures to compare. Starting at the top left and going clockwise, they were taken at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months (guess we were so sleep deprived we forgot to get the newborn photo!). His chubby cheeks have disappeared and even though you can't tell from the picture, he has a lot more hair now! It makes me sad that he's growing so quickly but he's also tons of fun! It's a bittersweet thing that I know you moms understand.

My Guys (cute, aren't they?)

John started his new job this week and Nicholas made sure he was up early to see him off.

Ok, got my shoes on. Let's go!

Hmmm... How does this thing work?

Let's Call Daddy

Nicholas loves to pretend to call daddy. When John really is on the phone, Nicholas hears his voice and then looks at the phone trying to figure out how it all works!

Morning Ritual

Every morning when Nicholas wakes up he asks for his baba (banana) and milk. Then we go into the office, wave good bye to John, and watch for the school bus. Then play time begins.

Daddy makes a great horse!

Playing peek-a-boo

Dress Up

Nicholas thought it would be fun to try on daddy's clothes. He looked like a little ghost running around and loved the big cape!

Smelling the Flowers

One of Nicholas' favorite things to do outside is to walk to the entrance of our neighborhood and smell the flowers. Sometimes he tries to pick them, too.

Creative Card

John got very creative this year and made me a very special birthday card, poem included!

Welcome!

I finally decided to start a blog so it will be easier to keep everyone updated on our lives, but mainly so you can all see how Nicholas is growing and changing. He is a very busy toddler these days! He keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh a lot!! Enjoy!
