Fun With Paper...

Hi All,

Here is a funny video of Nick tearing into a Soap Opera Digest... I think it's funny to see that magazine torn up too... Great minds think alike I guess... :^)

Half a Year Old!!!

Hi All,

Here are some recent pictures of Nick at 6 months old. He sure is changing quick! His modeling skills are improving, as are my picture taking skills with my new Nikon... :^)

Enjoy,

Mike & Staci


PS:
By the way, he has his first tooth in, with a second soon behind...

Shoo be do be dooooo

I'm soooo good lookin'

It has been FOREVER since we've updated the blog - sorry! Nick is Mr. Smile now. He's into making sounds that resemble mammamma mommmma, does this mean he'll say mommy first? Yipee! Nicholas loves his rice cereal, sitting up, baths, and playing with his toys. He's outgrowing his infant car seat so I've just ordered a new car seat. Wow! Time is going by so fast and Nick is growing like a weed! He is so squishable, kissable, and huggable. We can't seem to leave him alone. And the grandparents are worse then we are! Understandably! However, we are all biased. So here are some updated photos so you can judge for yourself!

Look out the Grammy is going to get you!

Daddy is soooooo funny!

Here is a video of Nick laughing at Daddy. When Daddy does the "Woody Woodpecker" sound, Nick thinks it's a riot...

It's been so much fun watching him change before our eyes. It seems we get more smiles and giggles every day. He is getting more aware of us and his surroundings. So much so, that he will not take a nap if we are out and about. He will stay awake to see all the new things around him, until he is soooo tired, that he melts down. But, once he catches his zzzzzz's and gets a dose of formula, he is good to go. He is so cool!!!

Three months old!

Time has flown by and Nicholas is now 3 1/2 months old! I can't believe it! My friend Rebecca came out to our house and took photos of Nick on November 17th. She does photography as a hobby and is fantastic! She also took photos of me when I was pregnant, about a month before Nick was born. Then she came over when Nick was 9 days old and took some great family photos of the 3 of us. Nicholas is so much fun! He's smiling all the time (ok, except when he's crying) and he is giggling more and more. So here are some current photos and some older photos that Rebecca took. Thanks Becky!

I'm irresistible!!!!!!

Our feetsies! Nick 9 days old.

Mike and the Nick. Nicholas 9 days old.

El Prego! July 13th.

The Nick

Nick is now almost 10 weeks old! Time is flying by! He started chatting like crazy yesterday, and he's mute again today..... oh well. Nicholas is quite the happy baby, he smiles and melts our hearts. We continue to torture him by messing with his hair (he's had two haircuts, not counting the mullett we cut off when he was 5 days old), dressing him like a gangster, putting grandpas glasses on him and sending the photo to all the engineers at HP the future engineer picture.

We have taken Nicholas everywhere. He's really easy to take places, he's frequented Home Depot, Costo, La Roca and many other places. He loves to look around and sit up. I put him in his baby Bjorn and go grocery shopping, when we finish and get to the car he cries because he wants to keep looking around at the world.

I haven't gone back to work yet, will head back after Thanksgiving and work 3 days a week. Grandma and Grandpa Edwards will be in charge of the little guy while I work. I keep telling dad to warm up his pitching arm and teach Nick to pitch a baseball and also to golf. Mike will be in charge of sailing, hockey and of course golf. Nick will be the future winner of Bubby if Mike has anything to do with it!

Nick had his 2 month check up and 3 vaccinations last monday, it was so sad to see him get shots! He now weighs 11 lbs 10 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. Well, I will quit rambling and post some photos of our little pride and joy!
