You can't see me

My little man is everywhere! Today he decided to play in the curtains and did you know if you wrap up in them no one can see you!

And Nick got his first tooth today!

(notice all the drool on his shirt)

He is growing up way to fast...sniff sniff sniff

He is on the move

The boy and his balloon

Once there was a snowman

Max and Kate took advantage of the little snowstorm and made some snowmen. Kate's was Rapunzel and Max's was an alien on his phone with a bird on his shoulder.

lately....

I really don't like January and February, they are both so LONG and COLD and I just want SPRING to come! Here is what we have been doing to stay busy.

Late night Friday nights watching movies and sleeping on the couch

Valentines

The kids both had a very fun day at school and getting Valentine cards from their friends

Playing with Nick, he keeps us entertained



Max started scouts and piano at the beginning of the year. He received is Bobcat badge at his first pack meeting and he is doing so well in piano. I am so proud of him, he got his music for his recital in April and it is a hard piece but he is practicing hard and will do great!



I think every virus has plagued our house. Max had strep throat, Nick had a double ear infection
and Kate got the left overs..sore throat, fever, cough and congestion. Poor Nick looked like someone had punched him in the eyes. In 2 wks we spent $100 on copays and antibiotics.

Max's reading has improved so much this year. Kate loves that he will read to her and he has really started to enjoy reading. I love that I don't have to tell him to do his reading every night! I am so grateful that he has a great teacher this year that has helped this happen!

A few nice days to play outside. Kate got a bike for Christmas and her little midget legs finally reach the pedals!

Nick is growing by leaps and bounds! He is such a fun age, he loves to mimic what you are doing and his laugh melts my heart! This boy LOVES FOOD!! I have not found 1 thing he does not like. His fine motor skills are developing quickly and he wants to feed himself! He was eating pizza crust and shoved the entire thing in his mouth and would not give it up!

Iron Man Nick. He is so strong and wants to crawl so badly. He gets up on this hands and knees, rocks and pushes backwards. He does push ups and plenty of what looks like yoga moves. He still gets to what he wants it just is in a round about way. I remember this stage is so hard they find everything they should not. Like Barbie shoes, Lego's and money!

6 months already?

Nicholas is 6 months old and went to see Dr. Arnold today. He weighs 17 lbs(35%) and is 26 3/4 inches long(50%). He is growing well which is very important. He was diagnosed last month with Choanal Atresia and he will need surgery to open his right nasal passage. The Dr. at Primary Children's Hospital wants to wait until he is a year old unless he starts having problems or is not growing but so far he is doing great! We love our little Nick knack and can't imagine our family with out him.

6 month Milestones

He is rolling both ways

He sits up by himself

He loves to growl and jabber

He is very social and not afraid of anyone

He is so ticklish on his neck and back, I love to tickle him so he will giggle

His little fat rolls tell his love for food! He has fat rolls on his knees and top of his feet.

He loves his feet rubbed and if he is upset take off anything on his feet and he will chill!

He Love Love LOVES his big brother and sister

He is a Mama's boy and that just melts my ♥

Look who turned 8

I can't believe that my baby boy is 8 years old and what a special age! He chose to be Baptized and Confirmed and today was his big day! He was so excited this morning getting ready! It was really fun talking to Max after and him telling me about how he felt!

He is all dressed and ready!

Max and his Uncle Jared.

Jared Baptized and Confirmed him, what an amazing blessing he gave Max!
