Library Day!!!

Today N turned 7 months old (that post to come soon) so we went to the library to celebrate!! This was N's first time going to the library so he was busy looking all around and taking in all of the books. We went to storytime and we got to listen to books, sing songs and play with the instruments. A fun, free event and we will definately go back again. N was very serious the whole time. He barely smiled but he did enjoy the music. He was just bouncing along as the songs were playing. I think he was overwhelmed by all of the kids there. There was this one girl who kept on trying to touch his hair! He spent a good chunk of time trying to get away from her :) Besides that little one we met another little girl and her Mommy who were very nice. We even exchanged numbers with her so we can arrange a play date. We checked out some books and a few cds and by the end N was exhausted.

i love hand-made

i am in love with hand-made things for nico. there are just so many creative people that i can't help but be in awe of their talents. i always think about sewing some things but my momma actually told me not to buy a machine. go figure, she must know something i don't. anywhoo besides hand-made clothes, i really want n to have home-made toys as well. a few weeks back when we went to the hand-made crafts fair i picked up some goodies for n and i may be biased but he is one awesome model. these goodies ( a cool pillow and one-piece outfit) can also be found on etsy at lemon cadet.

so long grammy

today nico bid farewell to his wonderful grammy. he is going to miss all of the kisses and hugs. he will also miss the leisurely walks around the park, the morning bubble baths, the chats over the bottle, rocking in the rocking chair listening to the african tunes and all of the special moments with grammy. he was so fortunate to have these couple of months with his grammy and his parents were pretty lucky too. we love ya grammy!!!

Happy Father's Day!

because good times with Daddy are quite different than good times with Momma!!

and just because

his momma is a budding photographer...please ignore the hand gesture, he truly doesn't mean anything by it ;)

Rockin' and rollin'

Life as I know it is coming to an end. Nico is so mobile. He has grand plans and he can't let his inability to walk/crawl get in the way. So Mr.N is so busy. Every single day he finds a way to get where he needs to go. Like a couple of weeks ago when I left him for a few, okay maybe one, minute and his head was peaking out from under the coffee table. Yeah, he is on a roll. He likes to get on all fours and rock and rock and then he scoots ...backwards. My little sweetie is going places and I hope that I will be able to keep up!!
