Friday late afternoon was dark, rainy and cooooold! We were sick of being cooped up in the house this past week with the unfortunate weather so decided to go anyway. It was a quick trip and it looked like there would be so many fun things to do on a warm, fall day... guess we will save it for next year. We were in and out in an hour and that includes the time we spent in the bakery for Mario to buy all of his treats.

Doesn't everyone read this way, standing on their toy farm?

My own personal Barista!!!

Just a post!

It amazes us every day the new things that Nico does and says. Nico's personality is certainly apparent- independent, daring, funny, particular (yes, still) and BUSY! He definitely knows how to push our buttons and tests us on a regular basis. So far we find it humorous... ask us again in 6 months :) We had his pictures taken on Tuesday and of course without fail Monday night he slipped and put his tooth through his bottom lip. I panicked a little bit at first, not at the injury but the thought of getting his picture taken with a busted up lip. After thinking about it we decided to continue with the pictures since really, it will provide accurate documentation of his day to day look- bumps, bruises, cuts, etc... he is ALL BOY! As soon as we get the pics we will post them. This is a really fun age. Mario is constantly stating "It is going too fast. I don't want him to get any bigger than this" but then I remember when he said that when Nico was 6 months old. It seems like every stage and age is new, different and awesome to experience.

Finally a nice fall day!

Little monkey Nico is obsessed with bananas. He could eat 2 a day if we let him. At this time he will only eat them if you peel it and he gets to hold it like a big boy. No more cutting into chunks!

Nico is 19 months!

Some random pics of the boy the past week! Nico is now 19months old...so many new words and small phrases it just cracks me up. I really should start writing these down.

All ready for his PMO class! We are running into the issue of his 12 month clothes being too small and drowning in his 18 month clothes :)

My brown eyed boy..
Nico loves trains. He will connect them all and pull them around on the floor.
Nico also likes to climb on stools, chairs, etc.. he can get himself up pretty easily and then gets stuck and cannot get down. If we are in the other room he will yell "HEY".. "HEY".. then we will walk in and he will say "Down" or "Downise" for help to get down.
I told him to smile and this is what I got :)

He climbed up all by himself and pulled out the drawer with the keyboard in it. First thing he typically does is rip the volume control button of the keyboard and hand it to you. "There you go" or "All done" and he puts it in your hand. One of these days I am sure he will bury it somewhere.. the garbage, the litter box or the recycle bin and it will be gone for good making his dad oh so thrilled. I can hear it now- Mario- "DAMN IT... Nico where did you put the volume button? Oh great I am sure it is the exact same place you put my PS3 controller 5 months ago that we STILL have not found"
