Fruits and vegetables

Today was your typical Saturday and we went grocery shopping at Walmart. Eric apparently got bored with shopping and instead decided to take some pictures of Nick... with fruit

And then some pictures with vegetables. The ironic part of this is that Nick HATES vegetables. He will not eat them any more. No matter what I do...

Except for raw broccoli (although right after doing this he made his this is disgusting face).

Hmmm I wonder if he would actually eat a red pepper... or just smile for it...

Happy weekend to all!

Moving and grooving

So this post is going to be short and sweet because I have to get to work. There are only pictures today... but I'm positive you'll enjoy them. We're not really sure when Nick figured out this scooting/kind of crawling/pulling himself along the floor but it's precious!!!

Adventures with Daddy!

For three day this week Montessori was closed for teacher in-service days. Since Eric has way more vacation and time off than I do, he took the time off to spend with Nick (lucky Daddy!). On Thursday Eric took Nick to baby bookworms at the public library so here are some pictures from their adventures...

Before they got to the library they stopped by the Fayetteville square and the fire department was showing off their truck for kids - and here are some adorable pictures.

All 27 inches of Nick pales in comparison to the fire truck and however many inches it is.

Another shot at the square by the rocks and fountain... so pretty!

Our little book worm!

To finish the morning adventures they stopped by the University of Arkansas to let the dogs run around and play catch. Nick, as usual, would not smile or look at the camera... but he is fascinated with Sam.

And if all of these pictures and adventures aren't enough, when the boys got home here is a super cute video of Nick playing with a ballon! Enjoy

I want to crawl!

This morning started out as any typical morning... I hit the snooze button one too many times, so I was running late, the dogs were begging to be fed, I was running around doing a million things... and of course Nick wakes up in the middle of this!

As usual, I changed Nick and put him in his play mat while showered, etc.

However, this morning he decided that he wanted to get out of it... being outside and mobile is way more fun if you're Nick.

He never got very far, but boy did he try. Every day he rocks more on his hands and knees and gets a little closer to actually being mobile...

Nap time

We put Nick down for his morning nap this morning, again in the usual position on his back with his head closest to the windows (basically he's done a 180 in the pictures below). And this is how we found him....

We didn't want to wake the poor thing to move his legs... so we left him. When he woke up, he was thankfully too sleepy to realize that his legs were sticking out of the crib!

Crib bumpers will be put back in the crib shortly...

Sitting...

So what is so special about Nick sitting? We all know that he's been able to sit on his own for awhile now. But what is different about this picture is the fact that when we put him in his crib to begin with, he was laying down on his back. On top of that, he apparently likes to put his paci in his mouth and let it hang out to the side... precious.

Needless to say we just lowered the crib mattress down one level.

Peek-A-Boo

This evening Nick was really fussy before bed... it had been a long event-filled day (think park, hanging out all day with the coolest parents ever, etc). We decided to try sitting him on our bed to calm him/play with him for a bit before bed, when Eric got the great idea to play peek-a-boo with Nick. It's only in the last few days that Nick has figured out that peek-a-boo is a game. Before that he would just look at us with a puzzled expression. Below is the result...

And if the videos aren't enough... here are some pictures!!
