Milestones!

Nico learned to roll over last week! It is so funny because he rolled over once on Wednesday, once on Thursday and about 40 times on Friday. I can't just set him anywhere and leave the room for a second, now he is just rolling all over the place and trying to scoot to things. I feel like this boy will be crawling in no time! I will try to post a video of it soon.

Also this morning he started to chew on my thumb and something scraped me. I looked in his mouth and there is a bottom tooth starting to poke through! I think he is going to look so cute with a few little teeth in there but I am really going to miss his big toothless smile :) Now that he is getting teeth he is going to have to adjust his kissing style a little for the sake of those on the receiving end of his kisses. He opens his mouth nice and wide and presses so hard onto your face that you have to start laughing. Then, often he ends up turning that kiss into a big love bite on your chin which will not feel to good with little teeth because it actually really hurts with no teeth! I have never seen a baby this small attack people daily with his kisses...so to all the little girls out there...beware of Nico Chiappetta!

Louie, Nico and I have had a great summer together. We love taking Nico places and doing things with him and it will only get more fun as Nico gets older and excited about this too! He has really been such a good baby and has such a little personality already. He may look a lot like me but I think he definately has Louie's personality.

5 months old and quite the jet setter!

Lou celebrated his birthday on Aug. 2nd with Nico and I. He wanted to take Nico to his 1st White Sox game so Nico got all dressed up in his Sox gear. So far every baseball game he has been to has had back to back home runs so Lou thinks that is a good sign that Nico will have good luck playing baseball someday! It was a perfect "boy" birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy! Then Aug. 4th was Tyler and my dad's birthday and Nico turns 5 months old so it has been a birthday week!

Lou has been super super busy at work lately and he had a work trip to NYC last week. Since we had hardly seen Lou, Nico and I went along on the trip to try to spend some time with him. Our hotel was right in Times Square so we had a great location. We were there for 5 days so each day Nico and I walked around a different area of the city. Nico loves his stroller and looking around at everything and I love the shopping!!! Poor daddy had to work the whole time. We missed him!

I love this picture! He kept this hat on all day and didn't even try to touch it once. Plus, as you can see, he is quite flexible and has now discovered that he can put his toes in his mouth. As often as he possibly can, he puts those toes in his mouth. He cracks me up!

He is goin' in for the kiss! He loved his Auntie Kristin whom he met for the first time. She lives in NYC and when I was 19 weeks pregnant she was actually the first person other than Lou to feel him kick. It made Auntie Lindsey a little sad so she sat with her hand on my baby bump all night until she finally felt him kick! So funny! We met Kristin at her apartment one night and then for lunch a few times in Central Park. I see her about once a year and it was like no time had passed...we picked up right where we left off which is so great. We love you Kristin!!!
