My oh my.....these months flew by!

I cannot believe my little guy is SEVEN months old!!!  Where does the time go?! 

We are most definitely having the BEST time!!  This is such a fun age!!  He is into EVERYTHING!  And everything goes right into his MOUTH!  Nick is also all over the place!  Such an active little one we have!  Walks are still our favorite thing to do together....besides shopping =)  He is still only saying MAMA.....which Daddy is not thrilled about...but he said DADA once....and has not tried since lol  I just LOVE being his Mommy and wouldn't change a thing (surgery and all :))

Smiling at Grandma

Growing Up.....

Seven Months

Weight: 14.9lbs

Height: 26in

I am just LOVING life with my little man!!

One less organ......

Me with a gallbladder.....



and me without one....

What I thought was heartburn in my pregnancy ACTUALLY turned out to be GALLSTONES!  Oh the joy of motherhood! =)  It is very common in women, if you are pregnant or have just had a baby, or if you lose alot of weight.....well lucky me...I was ALL 3! 

So I went and met with the surgeon (who happens to be dating Carly Simon....but is more known for being one of the TOP in laprascopic surgery...lucky for me!) and they had me in for surgery asap!  So my Mom being the most wonderful MOM in the world flew out to help with Nick and with me as I recovered!  So the day after Kris' bday we woke up early and went to the hospital for surgery!  The nurses were wonderful and surgery went GREAT! 

So I am feeling much better...still very sore and taking it day by day, but Kris has been unbelievable and I am so lucky to have him as my husband!  I don't know what I would do without him!  And my Mom has been such a help!!  She took such good care of Nick (as I could not hold or lift him) and we are going to be very sad to see her go in a few more days =(

On the bright side.....it has been soooo nice to do NOTHING!  We are always so busy that it was nice to relax...aka recover....and stay home and just spend time with my perfect little family =) 



Another year older.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBBY!!!

The Hubby turned another year older on August 22nd!!  The big 33!!  He got everything he wanted this year.....and some he didn't (next post!)  We had a VERY busy day that started with picking my Mom up from the airport!!  Then it was rush, rush, rush until dinner time!  Traffic was horrific everywhere so we decided to walk downtown (have I mentioned how much I LOVE living downtown!!  1/2 a mile from the beach if that!!)  and we went to Sam Diego's for his bday dinner!  It was perfect!  Nick even found himself an older woman (8 months old) and Kris opened some gifts!  All in all it was a nice family outing! =)

Kris and his deepfried ice cream!
(He had his cake the day before)

Nick ready to go!

I just LOVE my touring tote!

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!
