Nap Grump

Tonight Nico and I went to Fred Meyer to pass the time before bed. He woke up really grumpy from his second nap, so a distraction was good. When we got home I wrapped Guy's birthday presents and Nico had a blast playing with the wrapping paper and the empty roll (what we call a dodo). He was his happy self until bedtime!

Cousins

We went to the fish park today without a stroller for the first time! Nico walked. He seemed more interested in watching the people than watching anything else though. Nico is very social. Every time we would pass someone on the path, he would turn around and follow them.

Then in the evening we visited his cousins Rory and Bruce. In the picture, Grandma Salisbury is making them laugh.

Parmesan

Low key day. Park, nap, USPS, dinner. Guy made spaghetti squash with a fresh tomato and basil topping. We grated Parmesan cheese all over Nico's high chair tray and he put his hand in it, moved it all around, then licked his fingers. Over and over. Cute stuff!

Portraits

We went to JCPenney today and got some portraits done for Nico.  A few days ago we bought a really awesome Groupon coupon, we got about $200 worth of pictures for only $40.  It was a fun outing.  We met his cousin Alexis and Grandma Salisbury at the mall, and got a few pictures of Nico and Alexis together as well.

Fixing toys

This morning Nico went for a walk to the park with Grandma Salisbury. This afternoon Guy fixed one of Nico's toys with some wood glue. This evening we hung out in the backyard for a bit, where Nico likes to eat dandelions and play with sticks.

Walk in the rain

We went for a walk to the park today, and let Nico play on the wet playground. We got to use his raincoat for the very first time! On our way home we met another couple that lives in our neighborhood. They have a nine month old daughter who is adorable. Their names were Jeff and Alisha. I wonder if we will run into them again someday.

First mobile post

Trying out the blogger app - hope it works! Here's a picture of me and Guy. Nico is sleeping so he was unable to attend.
