Meeting Baby Aiden

So I could not wait to get to CA....my nephew was due the day we were flying in but he decided he wanted to come early....so I was soooo anxious to get there and hold him!  He is the most perfect precious little boy!  I couldn't be happier for my sister and brother-in-law!!  It was nice to get some pics of the boy cousins too!

Christmas #1

Since Nick and I are leaving in a few days for CA, we did Christmas with Kris' dads family today!!  Can I just say how much they spoil us :)  We arrived with our "Little St. Nick" and were immediately greeted by his favorite fans aka his cousins!!  I am seriously so lucky to have such a great family of in-laws!!

(I forgot my camera so here are a few from my phone)

Opening his 1st gift

Auntie Jill and the kids just spoil him!

This kid just cracks me up!  The floor was seriously covered in gifts and what does he want to do....sit in the box and play with the trash lol 

I didn't take a pic of him with all his gifts so I will make sure I do that tomorrow when he gets up!

Kris and I also made out quite nicely too! 

So THANK YOU Bob and Betty for a WONDERFUL day! :)

I'm an AUNT!!!

8lbs 5 oz and 20 1/2 in

My sister Mia and her husband Bill had their first baby....a perfect little BOY!  They had wanted the sex to be a surprise so I (we) have all been waiting impatiently on the babies arrival...luckily he arrived a little early (but already full term!) so I can't wait to get to CA and get my hands on him!! :)

Growing Up.....

Ten Months

Weight: 17.2lbs

Height: 28in

My boy loves his trucks and cars!

He does NOT sit still.....EVER!!!

How do I describe Nick at 10 months.....ACTIVE!!!  I can't even explain how HARD it is to get pics of him anymore...especially his monthly ones in this outfit!  These were the best I could do out of the millions I took! lol  He has been on the go for months now and has been taking more and more steps each day on his own and I expect he will be a full time walker any day now!!  I would say his first word was "CAT" haha

(go figure..we have 3) and he is definitely starting to pick up on things we say!  His laugh is by far the cutest thing I have ever heard and has changed so much!  He now has FOUR top teeth...his "I" teeth came in....and although I hear horror stories from other Moms...Nick was a champ and did great!  He always slept through the night and never fussed :)  And still only has 2 on the bottom.  He loves being read to and I have to admit its one of my favorite things to do with him!

He is the best little boy..what more can I say :)

Santa.....meet Nick :)

Last night we took our little man to see Santa for the FIRST time!!!  I loved the setup they have at Bass Pro so I told Kris that is where we were going!!!  Nick didn't cry at all!  He just kinda starred at him....for a bit....then they were BFF!  (of course he smiled AFTER they took the photo lol)

(I added the border lol)

This is definitely going to the BEST Christmas EVER!!!  We just <3 our Little St. Nick! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

I really do have the most AMAZING Dad!!!  I have never met anyone like him.  He is so kind and loving and there is NOTHING he would not do for his kids!  I am so LUCKY he is MY Dad!!!

Soooo....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!  I LOVE YOU! XOXO

This is one of my FAVORITE pictures.. and memories :)

The day after Thanksgiving was my Dads bday...I miss him like crazy and wish I coud have been there with him to celebrate!  He did however get a VERY cute gift from his little grandson! :)

Thanksgiving 2011

This year I have so much to be THANKFUL for!!!  Especially mommys little turkey!



Nick had a great FIRST thanksgiving!!  We went to Kris' dads house in the morning and he had such a blast with his cousins!!! 

He and Anthony (they are the ONLY boys!) are best buddies!

Then later in the afternoon we went to Kris' moms house and he got to see some more cousins!  He just LOVES Nicole (how could he not...they have the same name!)

She is getting married in Aug and my cute boy is going to be her ring bearer!  =)

LOVE the turkey bum!

He had the cutest Thanksgiving sleeper too...however I got it months before and thought for sure he would be in 9 month clothing.. NOPE :(  So it did not fit and he did not get to wear it!  Its crazy...I feel like he has grown sooo much, yet he is still in 6 month clothing...AND some are still big on him!  Oh well, I love my little peanut all the same :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

XOXO
