Boys, boys and more boys...

Our lil' man Joey had his 4 month check up and weighed in at 15lbs even! Both his height and his weight came in around the 50th percentile. I can't remember exactly (the sheet is somewhere in this mess of a house), but I want to say 52% for height and 56% for weight. I would have thought for sure lil' chubba lub would have been off the charts :) He had 4 vaccinations and with the first shot just growled at the nurse...the last three brought on a tear and a quick little cry and that was it. Tough guy!

Where's Waldo... I mean Nico?


So here is one of those times that I kinda just let Nico try and figure it out himself. He was standing on our neighbors retaining wall and decided he would try and scale down it. It was a LITTLE bit taller of a wall than he anticipated. Below he is hanging on for dear life yelling "HELP...HEEEELP"
As you can see from this shot he was a little frightened.. I still managed to quick take a pic before assisting him down. Ha!
We tried Joey on some solids... 4 months is a little early, but eh why not! This was applesauce.
It looks like he knows what to do...but we weren't very successful and then he yacked up what we did get down. I guess we will go back and try rice cereal first.
Always happy...
Making pancakes with Dad!

Nico would live outside if he could..


Joey's first time in the excersaucer. He loved it!

Self portrait attempt #2

Nico helping Joey with the nukie!
Mario video taped Nico running around... this was Nico's facial expression as he watched himself.
He thought it was hilarious and at the end would laugh and laugh and then say "agaaain" and we would have to play it over and over again.

Then of course he had to get into the excersaucer because his brother did :)
I remember when Nico's feet didn't even touch.

Here and there...this and that

Lately Nico has become a bit demanding. He will ask for things and end his sentence with "NOW".. this picture is of him saying over and over... "put my oatmeal on the table....NOW"... he says it with a little grin and it is so hard not to laugh!
The unhappy frog :(
I am sure he gets this from Mommy- he will pick up his phone, open it, dial....

Then say "hello? hi"... and walk around muttering..

then say "Bye" and close the phone..

Fat and happy.... look at that belly! You could pop it with a pin..



Wrestling again...


On the counter eating dinner again (shame shame)... believe it or not this is Nico chanting "broccoli, broccoli"...
Tired Joey
Standing in his drawer to turn on the music!
The "Burley Boys".. or in this case the "Nukie Boys"
Nico took my camera during our walk and the next few pics are ones he took ...they crack me up.
Quite artistic

Lately every time we have to get dressed or change a diaper it is an argument. Now he will wrap his hands around his legs and curl up like below so we can't change him. Frustrating!
