Slacking...

Just wanted to say sorry about the lack of posts recently!! I recently moved and school just started. I've been so busy!! I watched Nickolas all day last Thursday. My days off are Thursday's and Friday's so I should be watching him every Thursday. I am so excited about this!! Last Thursday we hung out at home most of the day. I was able to take him and get his 3 month picture taken. We went to Portriat Innovations. I was very pleased with them. They were supposed to take 45-60 frames, however, little Nickolas had another plan in mind. After about 12 shots, he started crying. Loud. So the session ended. I was able to pick out a few poses. So better luck next time!! (I will definately bring someone with me next time, probably his daddy to make him smile and his mommy to sooth him when he freaks out again). I am not sure if I can post the actual picture...so if you're interested just let me know and we can try to get one to you! Nickolas is eating every 3 hours still. He is getting cereal in almost every bottle. Milk alone will not last....he is usually ready to eat in about an hour to an hour and a half if you just give him formula. (I found this out the hard way) Could be why he cried so loud at the portriat studio. Oops! Tiffany says he is starting to "play" more. He will watch his DVD and coo at it. He will roll over almost immediately if you lay him on his tummy. Or he will get tired and fall asleep. He is still sleeping in his bassinett (or car seat) next to Tiffany and Wes. His tummy issues have been cured! He is starting to sit in his high chair. Oh and he is growing out of ALL of his clothes!!!! He is such a good baby. I believe we are all caught up! I'll try not to slack again!! :-)

We Miss You Guys!!

Mom, Ruthie and Grandpa have been in Arizona way too long!! It is time to come home!! They should be home in about a week. We sure miss them around here.


Wes, Jr.

Nickolas is making lots of funny faces these days!!!! Haha. He cracks me up.



So Stinkin Cute!

Tiffany bought him this outfit a month or so ago. The little hood is just too cute!

Oh my gosh, I just love that smile!



This one is my absolute favorite!! It looks like he is laughing. It makes me laugh everytime I look at it!

This face is so funny.

Smiling at Daddy

We were all hanging out at my house. And I had held him for about 2 hours straight.(I just can't help myself) I finally put him down in his seat. He was in such a good mood! Wes started talking to him and he just smiled and smiled.

3 months old today!

Nickolas is 3 months old today. Gosh, I just can't believe how fast it is going. He is doing so much now. He's a little over 12 pounds and still around 23 inches long. He is growing out of clothes left and right. Tiffany put a 6-12 month outfit on him the other day and it fit length wise, but was a little big through out. He is holding his head up by himself, and this makes him look so big! He is now watching the Baby Einstein DVD. It will hold his attention enough to watch it 2 or 3 times!! He's such a joy! I'm so thankful to be his aunt. :-)






Special Delivery!!

I moved last week! Tiffany and Wes helped me all day on Friday. Even little Nickolas hung out with us all day. He was so good while we moved a lot of stuff!! He is so cute.


1st Baby Food

Tiffany gave him applesauce mixed with cereal. He loved it! He knew exactly what to do with the spoon. He's gonna be a good eater. :-)
This was literally his first bite with a spoon.

Wes fed him with a Kermit spoon. The same spoon he used when he was a baby.


He was so good! He ate every bite we put in his mouth.


Ok, almost every bite. His daddy hasn't quite got the hang of things yet.


Look at those cheeks!!

Being Silly

It's just what we do... I mean, he's so cute. We are for sure setting him up for therapy later. The paparazzi and tabloid editors will have so much fun with these pictures when Nickolas is famous. (oh, it's gonna happen)




A few pictures from before vacation.

We traced his hand and foot in this card and sent it to Mom and Ruthie in Arizona. He also signed his own name..he's so smart....

Tired from all the tracing and writing. :-)


He loves loves loves getting a bath! He just sits in there and doesn't make a peep.


Here he is sleeping on Ruthie's table. Gosh, he is so cute!!!


The lighting was pretty good in Ruthie's kitchen...good picture.

I'm Back!!

Well, I seemed to survive a few days without seeing Nickolas! It was pretty hard. Lucky for me, he was waiting for me right when I got home. Good news, I only left Florida with one thing for Nickolas. I got him a shirt from Hard Rock Cafe. It says, "My First Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt". It is huge on him....but still sooooo stinkin cute. He went to the Doctor on Friday while I was gone. He is 12lbs and 1oz and still 23 and 3/4 inches long. He is as healthy as can be!! When I got home I noticed that he is holding his head up! It's amazing what you miss in just a few days. Tiff said he has been doing it for a couple of days now. He is getting so big.

To Be Continued....

I'm going on Vacation!!! Yay! Just to let you regular viewers (mom) know, I will not be posting anything new until I get back! I don't know how I am going to stay away from my little Nickol that long. I told Deidra to not let me spend all of my vacation money on Nickolas. I mean how many "My First Florida T's" does a kid need? It will be tough, but I'm sure I'll manage. I have posted some old and recent pictures to hold you over. See ya when I get back next week!!! Orlando...here we come!

Random pictures.

Here's some random pictures of Nickolas & Co. I don't think these have been posted before. If so, then enjoy them again!!
He has already outgrown this cute outfit....

Mommy and Daddy. Awww...


He was about 10 days old here...look how big that pacifier looks!


This was taken a couple weeks ago. You can see his face in the little mirror.


He was crying and crying at Ruthie's. So she layed him in the floor. He not only stopped crying there, but he actually fell asleep!! Good job, Ruthie!!


Tiff said that he likes to lay on his tummy on a pillow so he can bend his legs. He just looked so cute like that!! He stayed there for a very long time. Then he wiggled off the pillow. He was crying..I was laughing..it just looked funny.

We celebrated my birhtday last week. I usually make a cake for Sunday Dinner or for whoever's birthday it is. So, I made my own cake. I didn't mind, because I got to write anything I wanted on it. :-) Jamie couldn't be there. So, I was sure to include him on our birthday cake.


So sweet. I love getting close up pictures of him. It's just too cute.


I can tell, I am going to be his favorite. :-)


Ha Ha, let me explain. I was taking his "2 month" pictures at TIffany's. I just wanted him to lift his head up!! So Tiffany held it there for a min. Each time she let go, his head would fall....imagine that. He's making such a funny face here.

Mr. Cool...trying to rest.

He was trying so hard to stay awake, but he was so tired!! He would fall asleep and as soon as that pacifier came out..he would cry. Loud. So it wasn't too long before we were holding him. That seemed to work. yay. :-)





Sleeping..finally.

Nickolas was really fussy last Sunday. It took awhile, but we finally got him snuggled in his swing. He's so cute.

What a difference!!

The first picture was taken a couple of days ago and the second picture was taken when he was just 10 days old!! He's growing so fast!!!!





Yet, another photo shoot.

Well, you know I kept Nickolas all day on Saturday. I couldn't go without taking a million pictures of him!!! He did really well. So, in a span of about 5 hours I took these pictures.
