This boy

At the park in Miami...loving the climbing. 

Being silly at the National Harbor. 

Snacking with his cousin at the Empire State Building. 

Swinging in Central Park on one of the hottest days of the summer. 

Zonked out on Daddy!

Out at midnight in Times Square. 

This boy is my absolute joy! We are wrapping up a fun filled summer and welcoming a new school year. Only a few months until his little sister arrives and he is no longer king of the castle. Who am I kidding he will always be king of the castle.  This castle will just have two thrones ;)

Back in business!

If you think Nico has been taking it easy these past few months you are sadly mistaken. Blame his Momma for the lack if updates. He has been up to blog worthy stuff but his Momma has been busy baking his little sister and therefore too exhausted to post. The past few months have been filled with family time, exploring, learning a lot, practicing reading and just being a full speed ahead four year old.
Here are some pics:

Searching for alligator in the Everglades & going on an airboat ride with the grandparents.

Looking handsome on Easter- hat was on for 1 second :)

Avoiding clowns at the fair- pouty face!

Making silly faces in the morning & showing those muscles.

Working hard at school.

Making fresh squeezed orange juice

Happy

If he's happy, I am happy. Lucky for me he spends 95% of the time positively giddy. Here he is finding joy in Lego building. He loves following the directions to create things and then changing everything up to do it his way. Words can't express how much I love this boy 😃

Park with Grammie & PaPa

Nico played hookie from school and hung out with his grandparents. He quite enjoyed himself. Between the breakfasts out, the sleeping in and hanging at the park- how could you blame him. Momma needs a day off too ;)

Fantastic 4!

Nico is 4!! It so wonderful to be this little guys Momma. He is such an awesome little presence, the right combination of fun and fiery :) This year he has continued to amaze us with all the things that he knows. He is always saying something at the right time that makes us either beam with pride or erupt in laughter. Yeah, he is just that awesome!
His birthday was filled with wonder, play and family. Just the way I like it. He had a great day! We just love this little boy so very much and are so blessed to be able to call him our son. Happiest of Birthdays to our Nico Pico!!
