Like Father Like Son!

My friend Janice gave Nico this Adidas track outfit and Lou had a matching one so Lou has been waiting for the day when him and Nico could wear their outfits together...and here they are!


This cracks me up because Nico's face looks like it is being smashed in by the kiss!






Easter


Nico and his cousin Joshua were laying on the floor. Nico put his hand in Joshua's mouth and left it there and Joshua just started sucking on Nico's hand. It was pretty funny!

Too bad Nico was done with us taking pictures of him at this point. We celebrated Easter with my parents the night before so they stopped by to see him on his first Easter.


Family Easter Shot!



Here is Nico's Easter basket from the Easter bunny. This year the Easter bunny hid it in an easy place for him since he is so young but next year he is going to have to work for it a little bit!




Swimming with Auntie Lindsey

Snuggling after a swim in the bathtub. He liked cuddling with Auntie Lindsey.
Nico loves the water so we go "swimming" in my big bathtub. Auntie Lindsey put on a swim suit and took him in there. He gets nice and calm in there which I think must remind him of being in my tummy. He also kicks his little legs so he is a natural swimmer! It is going to be fun at the pool this summer.





We have a video clip of him swimming but seeing that he is not wearing a swim suit and is a nudie patootie...I figured it was not appropriate to post online! I will have to take some of him in a swim suit to put on here because he is just so darn cute when he goes swimming!


8 Weeks old!

Here is my cousin Rich holding his daughter Teagan who is 1 1/2 years old and Nico. They live nearby so hopefully we can have some fun playdates this summer.

This is a super cute Pottery Barn chair that my Uncle Randy, Aunt Pat, and cousins Nichole, Angela, Josh and kids gave Nico. It is his first personalized present! He took to lounging in it right away! We love it! Thanks so much!





I started babysitting for Isabella when she was 3 months old and now look at her! She is 12 and ready to babysit my baby. She came over to hang out and loves holding Nico. She is so good with him so it will be nice to have her and her sister Stephanie as babysitters that we love and trust!

1 Month old!

Sound asleep in his moses basket that Auntie Lindsey made for him. This is also his favorite swaddle blanket that Auntie Lindsey and I bought for him in New York last fall when we went to visit Kristin.
This outfit is a little big for him! He is a long and skinny baby so the length of his 0-3month clothes works great but he doesn't fill them out! He is probably about 8 1/2 to 9 pounds now and is 22 inches.

Nico is looking more and more like his Uncle Tyler's baby pictures. Can't go wrong with that!


Our first structured tummy time. He only liked it for a few minutes but he is pretty good at holding his head up and he is a pretty strong little guy!

3 Weeks Old!

Nico is 3 weeks old already! He is a great baby and only gets up once a night which makes mommy and daddy love him so much! He is starting to get a little fussy before bed but daddy is becoming an expert at rocking him to sleep. I absolutely love being home with him all day.
Nico's 1st bath! He didn't even cry!

2 Weeks Old!



Like father like son!
(Nico's shirt says "Not Lucky, Just Cute!")
Grandpa got to meet Nico for the first time! He misses his grandpa when he is working far far away in Las Vegas. Nico thinks it sounds like a fun place to visit though...I think Louie thinks it sounds fun too! What a suprise!
Nico talking to daddy telling him all about St. Patricks day

Nico turned 2 weeks old yesterday! I took him to the Dr. for his 2 week appt. and he weighs 8 lbs 2 oz which means he has gained exactly 1 pound since we took him home from the hospital. He has also grown 3/4 of an inch. The Dr. said that is excellent weight gain but if he keeps it up he will have to go on Jenny Craig eventually! Nico also lost his umbilical cord this morning and I am happy to report that he has a very nice innie bellybutton!

And the Winner is...

Uncle Tyler and his friends made these little T's for baby Nico, all original designs.
They wanted to know which one was liked best and Nico picked this one... Created by Uncle Tyler. He's so witty!
These were the runners up...
