A visit from Auntie Ali

Alison came to visit. Nick LOVES his visits from Auntie Ali. As you can see he has so much fun with her. 
 
They get to play with nurf guns
 





They act like scary alien monsters
 
They copy each other

and they play in tents

Christmas 2012

Just a few pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I had so many so it was hard to choose and if I wrote all the funny stories that go along with each toy I am sure it would be a two page entry. In the next few days  I will post more pictures and videos of him playing with his toys at home. (his yoda slippers and his star sars bath toys might be in every video. He doesn't let them out of his sight)

Hippo Cookie (best tradition EVER)


this next picture is not this year or at christmas time but it reminds me of the one above it. I am sure there are many more to come.

Music Man

 

Doesn't he look like a pro

My First Haircut

The last time I took Nicholas to get a haircut he screamed the entire time. I know that people understand but he can be really loud. When Chris and I found some clippers that included the guards, scissors and a comb for only $10, we decided to get them and try to give him a haircut ourselves. Niether of us have ever cut someones hair before (atleast not since we have been adults), so we were debating whether or not to wait til after the holidays to save us and Nicholas a little bit of emabarrassment. But those of you who know me, know that I can't wait for anything (especially if it is something that seems fun).
 
A bit scary seeing all of this hair, eh?

This is where it took place.

I used a # 4 guard  (the trick is to tell him that the clippers are just a robot like R2)
Results:



His hair is pretty wavy so the front was the hardest.
 
I think it turned out pretty well, don't you? The best part is the clippers have already paid for itself. The last haircut he had was $11.

Fun with Ashlyn

 
2 years ago
and now
Nicholas loves Ashlyn. She is going to be the cousin he looks up to I think!
 
 

Merry Christmas

A Letter From Santa...

Nick got mail today and was very excited. If I would have known it was from Santa I would have video taped his reaction. He was pretty excited to open his letter and listen to what Santa had to say to him.

Da Bears

Nicholas was watching the game today. It was a real nail biter! Too bad they lost!

Priceless

This video was taken at my sister's baby shower. I just now saw it on my Aunt's facebook. Nick also started crawling that day. Here is a video she took of him attempting to crawl that day!
