Pictures, pictures, pictures

So since we're new to the whole blogging thing and it's been awhile since we've sent out any pictures/updates, here you go!  The picture to the left was taken yesterday - Nick was wearing his brand new sunglasses!  He hates having the sun in his eyes and definitely like being able to see in the sun.  
Nick was super happy yesterday, and he actually smiled while the camera was in front of him so we figured we should capture the moment.  For some reason he does not like to smile for the camera.  He can be laughing and smiling and the second we pull out the camera, he stops and won't start again until the camera is gone.... obviously, this makes it difficult to take cute pictures!
My favorite sunglass shot!  Not only is he displaying his new shades (that we can strap to his head so they won't fall off!  Best $6 we've spent in a long time!) but he's showing off his sitting skills (he's getting really good at it) and his chubby little hands.  So precious!
Bath time a few weeks ago.  The sun was coming into the kitchen and Nick just looked so sweet.  Can  you tell I'm totally obsessed with him?!?!
Clearly, Eric is burping Nick.  I think it's just so sweet when they're together, and it never ceases to amaze me how little Nick is!
Oh the exersaucer.  In theory once a baby is 4 months they can use (and like) this lovely contraption.  However, this is NOT at all the case for Nick.  Exersaucer = an epic fail!  He's still wayyyyyyyyy too small for it and as you can see his head doesn't come up above the seat part.  To top it off his feet are so far from the bottom it's rediculous.  After several attempts, he still wails when we put him in it.  Poor guy is tortured by his mean parents, all for pictures/their amusement.  Maybe one day he'll like it...
It's hard to believe how strong Nick is getting, and he's learning to grab and hold onto things.  He held onto and moved his rattle all by himself a few weeks ago.  He still needs help figuring out how to grasp things, but once he has them he doesn't let go!  This is becoming increasingly true for my hair.  Good times.

Nick's first bath in the real bath tub!  He loves to float in the water and splash around.  We can't wait to take him in the pool/lake/ocean this summer!!!  Don't worry, Eric is fully covered in a bathing suit.
