HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Nick turned 1 on June 2nd!  He's getting so big! 

We had fun letting him get cake everywhere! 

And his golf set from Aunt Lisa was a huge hit!

We took this in our back yard.

He looks so proper right here!  

Here's him trying to hit the golf ball.
Usually mom helps.

I made Nick a baseball cake,
He ate a little, but made a BIG mess. :)

As you can see, I got splattered too!

Here he is patting it.  Way too much fun!

We also went to California Memorial Day weekend for
my grandpa's 80th Birthday party.  Nick's favorite thing

was helping grandpa feed the birds.

Here he is with Grandpa Rick and
Grandpa Dick!

Here he is putting out bread for the birds to eat!
Although he tried to eat some of it too!

Easter

Easter was so much fun!  The easter bunny brought Nick a basketball hoop, bubbles, and a few other things.  Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Randall's and had an Easter egg hunt.  Nick didn't really care about the candy, he just like being outside and having a stick to play with!

Catch up!

So I know, it's been FOREVER!  I know I can't possibly put all the cute things that Nick has done in the last 3 months on here, but I can put some!  So here's how our holidays went, and how things are now!

This is us at Thanksgiving.

Nick's gingerbread house!  Okay, mom helped!

Nick did really well with Santa! 

He just kind of starred for a minute,

and then looked around.

Nick Christmas morning with his new bathtub toys!
He absolutely loves them!

Christmas paper!  Nick's favorite!

Nick and Dad watching football!

Nick's first haircut.  He did really well until Rob

tried to cut by his neck.  He really didn't like that!

Nick at 8 months old.
He turned 9 months 2 days ago,
but I haven't put those pics on the computer yet,

so this will have to do.

Hope everyone is great.  We sure have had a great couple months!

Happy Birthday Rob!

Yesterday was Rob's birthday!  Last year on his birthday I was WAY sick with morning sickness (although it lasted all day!).  So we didn't do anything.  He did get a cake, but that was about it, so I wanted to make up for it this year.  I'm not sure if I did, but it was better! 

I'm not the best cake decorator in the world,

but I think it looked alright. 

It was a white chocolate cake I made from scratch.

Rob found the recipe online and it's awesome!

I also made Rob's favorite for dinner-ribs and "wingers" chicken.

We had some friends over for dinner and rook afterwards too.

 

Rob is so amazing. 

He works hard everyday so I can stay at home.

Then comes home and still helps out with the house and Nick!

He loves to play with Nick and puts him to sleep almost every night-

I'm told it's their guy time (that and during church).

He always knows how to make me smile

and makes me happy every day!

Happy Birthday Rob!  I love you.

 

Story Time

Nick loves to read stories, at least part of them depending on his attention span at the moment.  The other day I left Nick on the floor in the living room while I put some stuff away.  When I came back he was holding his book up all by himself!  It was so cute I just had to take pictures! 

Happy Halloween

So I know, it's been almost a week but hey better late than never!  Nick had a great first halloween, although he got tired and went to bed about 7, but it was fun to have him dressed up and show him off. 

Here's us carving pumpkins. Nick didn't see the finished products until the next day because we started too late and he got tired.  So, here he is with them right before he went to bed.

Rob and I with our pumpkins. 

Mine on the left, Nick's on the right,

and Rob's in the back.

For Halloween Nick was a devil. 

Surprisingly he kept the hat on most of the time too!

 

I think this is a definitely a little devil face!

Nick got another pumpkin from my visiting teachers

and he loved it!

I love this picture!  He has such an innocent look on his face!

4 months old

Nick is 4 months old!  Okay he was last week,

but today's the day we went to the doctor.

I can't believe how fast time has gone. 

He's doing great and is now:

Weight 12 lbs 9 oz (7th percentile)

Height 26.25 inches (88th percentile)

Head 16.5 inches (37th percentile)

Needless to say, he takes after his dad!
