Family Pics!!!

Here are just a few of my CUTE family =)

 

And this is my favorite....=)

Cousins Birthdays.....

Happy Birthday CeCe and Frankie!!!!

(Cecelia and Francesca)

Cece turned 3 and Frankie turned 1!!!  They had a pool party with a bounce house and a HUGE slip n slide!!  If only Nick were older lol  Seriously every kids dream party!!

So Cece just LOVES Baby Nicholas.  The first two people on her invite list were (and in order):

Baby Nicholas

Justin Beiber

You would have to know her!  She is the CUTEST thing ever.....but she sure is fresh and fiesty!  She however is my little BFF!  The entire day I would tell Nick to give kisses.....and the only person he would do it to was his Cece!  I am so glad his cousins love him as much he loves them =) 

It was also Nick's first time in a big pool....still a small pool....but we put him in a raft and let his feet dangle.....lets just say I think we will need to try it again lol  For now its baby pools!

Sneak Peek....

Shark Weeks Youngest Fan =)



This was not a planned outfit, just happened to be what he was wearing when we got to the place he was having his pics done at and Kristin decided to take a few of him in it and how CUTE did it turn out!!  I just LOVE it =)  Happy Shark Week!!

6 Month checkup......

At 6 months, Nick weighs 13lbs 12 ounces!!  He is now 2nd percentile for weight and 4th for Height.  Most of this is due to him not feeling so well the last week =(   The good news however.....he is feeling much better now and although he is still in 3 month clothing, I feel like he is gaining some weight!!  He sure has his appettite back lol  So far he loves bananas and sweet potatoes.  Squash was NOT his favorite lol  and he is doing well with the peas so far!!  He did get some shots and I think I have a harder time with that than he does!  He is doing everything he should be at this age and he is still as perfect as ever =)

Using his BIG bottle!

LOVE this face!

HATES the squash lol

the new highchair at Grandmas!

He is just the BEST kid ever!  He is always happy and smiling and enjoying everyday of his life! 

Turning 30.......

Its so weird to think I am ACTUALLY 30!!!!!  I have to admit though, my 30s are bound to be my best years yet!!!  Don't get me wrong, my 20s were AWESOME!!  I had a few amazing roommates, married my best friend, moved to the East Coast and ended my 20s with the most PERFECT son!  I think I have had a GREAT life so far and I feel like the luckiest woman everyday =)  But my 30s will be the years I get to see my son grow (and other children) and just enjoy being a mother and having my own awesome little family!!  We have so many fun things planned over the next few years that I am excited everyday for what the future holds!!!  Goodbye 20s....and HELLO 30s =)



HAPPY 30th to ME!!!!

The morning of August 1st started off absolutely PERFECT!!!  This happy little boy gave me the cutest card EVER!!  I am so lucky =)  We spent the morning getting Nick's 6 month pics done....poor little guy was still not feeling 100% after being sick....but the pics turned out as cute as ever!  I can't wait to get the rest back!

Nick and I then went running errands!  It was kind of a busy morning but it was so much fun!  He is Mommys favorite shopping partner.....although I'm sure Daddy wishes we didn't enjoy that so much! lol 

LOVE this boy!

I then took Nick over to the grandparents so Kris and I could enjoy a nice dinner out just the two of us!  That's so rare these days, but I have to admit, we just LOVE spending all of our time with our little guy!

The absolute JOY in my life!

Kris took me out to one of my favorite restaurants!!  We kept it kind of a chill night.  I spent my birthday exactly the way I wanted to!  We are planning on going away for a weekend to really celebrate, however we are just so busy that we haven't found a weekend that we can go yet lol  Soon though!  I am actually REALLY excited for where we are going....

Happy 30th to ME!

Growing Up.....

Six Months

Weight: 14.1lbs

Height: 25 1/2in

Well, just when I thought we were going to get out of the 8th percentile.....Nick got sick =(  We went to the Dr and he is now 4th percentile.  So if you are wandering why he didn't gain much weight, thats why!  My poor little boy!  He started feeling much better today and has kept everything down so far =)  We go back on Wed for his 6 month well visit.....so hopefully he will  gain some weight!!  lol   I swear, at this rate he will NEVER get out of 3 month clothing.
