Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Nicholas' FIRST!

*Kisses*

Mommys Lucky Charm <3

So as I have done every year since I was a kid, I had my Lucky Charms for breakfast =)  Nick and I had a fun day together (I LOVE being home with him!!) and when Daddy came home from work we had our corned beef and cabbage dinner...YUM!! 

Hope everyone had a safe and happy day as well =)

Paw-sitively CUTE!

Ready for an outing with my parents!!!

Finally home......and EXHAUSTED!!

Haha... I LOVE this kid!!  We had a blast, but he sure is worn out!! =)

What I've Learned.......

When the Hubby says "Honey, I will watch the baby so you can have some time to yourself" I get excited and dash to the bathroom for a loooooooonnnnngggg HOT shower and then to bed for some uninterrupted sleep!!!  Once in a while I will run some errands or have girl time.....but 9 times out of 10, I opt for SLEEP!  haha  The joys of mommyhood and a newborn!!

But the best part after some sleep, is waking up and grabbing this cute little face for some kisses and snuggles :)

Growing Up.....

Can you believe this little munchkin is ONE MONTH already!!!  I still can't get over how big he is getting and how much he changes day to day!! 

So I got this idea from my friend RaShell and it is too cute not to do =)  Every month I will put him in a 12 month onesie so we can watch his growth over the first year!!

One Month

Weight: 8.8lbs

Height: 21 in

My little All-Star!

I love his little baseball buns!!

Things he loves at one month....

• Loves holding his head up and looking around
• Still loves cuddle time with Mommy
• He has been a great sleeper!
• Looks forward to his activity mat time
• Favorite time of day.....BATH TIME!!
• Has become quite the little boxer (and he has some muscle behind that punch!!)

Activity Time!

He LOVES the bath....he just can't help making his funny faces!

Loves to be CLEAN!



My little Rocky  =)  haha!



He is definitely the JOY in our lives!!  =)

Newborn Pics....

While my parents were here we went and had a few pics taken of Nick.  He did AWESOME!  Did not cry once =)  Even the photographer was impressed that he was so awake and alert during the photos.  I guess most newborns just sleep through having the photos done.  In fact, she had to "try" to get him to close his eyes!  She was able to get one! haha
Here are just a few of them.....

Just look at this cute little face and enjoy!  I sure do =)

I just LOVE this little Grumpy face!

One of my Favs!
(the lion is as big if not bigger than he is)



The "one" pic with his eyes closed!



He was too fussy without the diaper on =(

Newborn pic from the hospital!

I can't believe he is already 3 weeks old!!!  He changes everyday.  I just LOVE the little faces he makes (esp when he is rolling his eyes at me....he is definitely my son! haha)  He is so strong.  He has been lifting his head up since we left the hospital, but now he can hold it up for a long period of time!!  He is still mommys favorite cuddle bug!  He is sleeping well and eating well and I am so lucky to be his Mom!

<3 Happy 1st Valentine's Day Nicholas!!! <3

My little Valentine <3

And Mommy sure LOVES him!

I just can't get enough of my little boy!

My little heart breaker!
(the outfit is too big but I had to get a pic of him in it!)

Cute matching bib!

This year Valentine's Day was bittersweet for me. I got to spend it with my 2 favorite boys and my parents!!!  We had such a fun time hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa!  However, they flew home to CA later that afternoon =(  It was hard to say goodbye!  And it was especially hard for Grandma.  I'm so thankful for skype!!

They <3 their grandson!

Love this pix of them!

So my husband being as wonderful as he is, came home with some surprises for me to cheer me up =)  He really is the best and I am so thankful for him and our beautiful little boy!!  Sometimes I don't know how I got so lucky =)

My Mom

Hands down I have the BEST Mom!!!  She was such a help while she was here!  Before baby came, we had a blast shopping and finishing up little Nicholas' room!  Then after a few days of her being here, baby Nick decided to arrive!!  She and Kris were so wonderful to me throughout my labor and delivery.  She even hung out with us at the hospital and stayed to watch The Bachelor with me (poor Kris! haha) 

I came home after being discharged from the hospital to a clean house, laundry done and dinner cooking in the crock pot!!  She did most of the cooking once we were home and "helped" aka like I could pry him out of her arms!! with the baby so I could catch up on some sleep! =)  I was sad to see her go!!  =( 

Thanks Mom for being the BEST!!!!

XOXO

On a side note....its so weird that now I am the MOM and she is now known as GRANDMA!!  =)
