Day 180


Making "coffee" and drinking it.

I'm sorry, loyal fans. I've been SO lazy. At least I'm all caught up now. :) Don't expect anything great tomorrow. I'll only get to see him when I drop him off for school. After that I'm working, doing RN orientation and testing, then working again! Booo. :(

Day 179


Peppermint Jo-Jo's are BACK at Trader Joe's. Niko saw me holding the cookie and he says, "Mommy!! A cookie??..........for NIKO?! Thank you!"

Day 178


Watching Maisy of course.

Day 177


Don't think he has enough books to read....

Day 176


Being shy in his new Mickey Mouse towel. It's the greatest incentive to get him out of the tub.

Day 175


He had a LOT of presents to play with the morning after our party. He loved his lizard puppets from Adriana. He went around the house making the lizard viciously eat everything.

Day 174




Happy Birthday to us. :)

Day 173



Pre-birthday celebrations at Nino's.

The first fire in the fireplace!

Day 169




Disneyland and chickens!! Today was a good day. :) Niko's chicken is Tallulah (obviously. From Maisy :)

Day 168


He put ALL the toys he could grab onto his bed and started playing with him. I have no idea why, but it made him happy. Oh, yeah and he was naked.

Day 167


Little blurry, but you get the idea! He loves to scooter. Nino's giving him one for his birthday...shhhh. :)

He loves his chocolate from Ms. Sandra every day after school!

Day 165


He's doing great with the potty training! I can see the end of the diapers road in sight. :)

Day 164



Niko has decided that he enjoys wearing stripes. He proudly takes off his sweatshirt when we get to school and declares to everyone in the room "I has stripes!" Then he points out everybody else who is wearing stripes.

He also started pedaling on his tricycle today for the first time! He was doing it all by himself without any help. He was picking up the crunchy leaves off of the sidewalk and putting them into the back of his bike. :)

Day 163


Rawwrrrrr!

Day 162



Sorry, got a little behind. Here's a fun afternoon of reading Maisy and bike riding. When we passed the obnoxious German Shepherd down the street he said, "Doggy madatchu!" Thanks Niko.

Day 158


Niko's spider shirt glowing in the dark.

Day 157







We made it to Disneyland before Halloween! Niko was incredibly traumatized by the Haunted Mansion (even though he used to love it), but he conquered his fears of Dumbo and loved that ride!

Day 156


A little pooped out after Vroman's.

Day 155









We FINALLY made it to the pumpkin patch!!! It took weeks but we made it. Niko liked pulling around the wagon (except when I was in it).

We recreated last years picture with Nino. It will have to be a tradition. :) Niko's gotten a lot bigger. He was just learning how to walk when we went last year.
