Fall Fun

We went to The Morton Arboretum this weekend to take some fun fall pictures of Nico and us as a family. He was wearing the perfect fall outfit so he looked ADORABLE and people kept stopping us to look at our little "model"! We had a happy baby (like we always do!)and got some great pictures. Lou and I went to The Morton Arboretum last fall when I was pregnant and we couldn't wait to bring our baby here to take pictures...so that is what we did! It was a little chilly but Nico was a trooper. We LOVE our boy!!!!!!!!!

Could that face seriously get any cuter???????????

Nico is growing so fast. He is now army crawling and getting into everything. The baby proofing is definitely necessary now. He is getting ready to start crawling so it is fun to watch him start getting up on his hands and knees. He is a wiggle worm now and it is getting near impossible to change a diaper or get him dressed. Nico also has quite a little sense of humor...when we "bite" his fingers or toes he laughs at us...however this has backfired because he will take my finger and chomp down on it with those 2 sharp baby teeth of his and then laugh....I guess it is our fault! He is a very fun baby and we are really enjoying all of his new accomplishments and his little personality that is shining through!

Nico in his Office...he is very busy!

This is when he had just turned 6 months. He is a pro in there now.

7 months old!!

My little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch!

1st pony ride! He didn't care about the horse he just wanted to eat the saddle! He is so funny!

Nico and grandma at Uncle Tyler and Uncle Andy's Triathelon. Isn't that the cutest hat you have ever seen?

My matching boys! There was a big Northwestern game on so daddy and Nico got ready to watch the game together. He has officially said his 1st word...."dada!" Of course no one is more proud and excited about that than daddy. He also says "hi" or "hi dad" all of the time. He is so smart saying 2 word sentences already!!!! He does say it a lot but he does say it when he sees daddy too so I think he knows what he is saying but he doesn't always know when to say it. I still think he is a smarty pants though and am a proud mama.....and yes...we are still working on "mama!"
