Cabinses

We went up to the cabin today and Nico played with Lexie. Grandma gave both of them cups with orange slices in them, and they both sat on the clementine-eatin'-stool.

G.G.

From yesterday. We went to visit G.G. today. Nico really likes the Buggy she has in her living room, and he enjoyed pushing it all over.

We also went to the Fiber Festival with G.G. while we were in Nampa, which was a festival for yarn! It was very hot, but Nico enjoyed seeing the Alpacas and riding on Guy's shoulders.

Salisbury Reunion

Today we went up to the cabin to see some family on the Salisbury side that we hadn't seen in a while. They were here all the way from California.

It was rainy today and Nico enjoyed several jaunts out in the wetness. Here he is hanging out in the rain at the cabin.

Dinner

Today we met Allicia and Evelyn (16 months) at the fish park today. Fun was had!

Dinner tonight was leftover breakfast. Eggs and avocado. And...olive oil for dessert?

Dishes

Nico helping Guy do the dishes.

Geese

Today Nico and I saw lots of geese at Julia Davis Park. And a pair of ducks on the water!

Later today Nico drove us to the Co-op.

Cabin

We went up to the cabin this afternoon. We got to see Sarah and Aunt Ellen as well as the Grandparents Salisbury. Nico ate so much at dinner! He had such fun time eating all sorts of things. There is always lots to eat at the cabin.

Sarah was nice enough to take some pictures of us. Here is one of them!

Fire Station

Nico and I went to Quarry View Park on the bike. We ran into Allicia and Evie (remember them from this post and this post?) It was a lot of fun. We will see them again next Wednesday when we meet them at the Fish Park!

Today, Guy and Nico went to a "Daddy Meet-up" at the fire station down the road from us. They got to see fire engines, dive boats, and have a tour of the fire station.

No picture today, though.

The Last Few Days

We've been missing in action! I've been taking pictures, but I have been completely spacing on uploading them every night. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

We've been going on a lot of walks, going to the Fish Park and today we even went for a bike ride. The weather was perfect in the evening.

One thing I've noticed that Nico does on a regular basis: whenever we receive a box in the mail that we need to open, I pull out the scissors and start to cut the box open and this is a cue for Nico to start screaming. It's a happy scream, and it's not ear-shattering or anything, but he loves to scream whenever I open up a box. After we've taken everything out of the box, I flip it over and cut the bottom open so we can dismantle it, and he screams while I do this too. Funny!

Nico Sized Soda

From yesterday. Guy bought small sodas so that Nico would have an easier time drinking his.

Lexie

Grandma Salisbury took Nico to see his cousin Lexie today. They played outside for two hours and had a blast together!

Finger Dippin' Good

Nico dipping his fingers and hand in his open water bottle.

Today Nico and I tried raw goat's milk for the first time. It appears that we can both tolerate it! Nico had a small cupful and then asked for more. I gave him a little bit more but didn't want to overdo it on his first day.

Today Nico also got to spend some time with Grandma Salisbury. She got him to try to say the word tractor for the first time!

Anne Frank

Today was a full day. This morning Nico and I went grocery shopping. After his nap we went to the library. Before we went into the library we visited the Anne Frank memorial. There are waterfalls and walls with quotes written on them.

After dinner I took Nico to the fish park and to the playground right next to it. He enjoyed going down the tube slide head first.

Sleeveless

Nico pulled his arm out of his sleeve this afternoon. Also this afternoon: Nico showed off his barking skills to Grandma Russell over the phone. Then we went for a walk with the planter.

Feeding Daddy

Nico can say "Dada" when you ask him to. I'm not sure he has associated the word with Daddy yet, but he is definitely taking steps toward talking.

Today he sat on Guy's lap and fed him his dinner. He took a bite himself and grabbed his tongue with his hand because it was spicy hot.

Slippers

Nico is really into wearing big shoes! He asked me to take off his shirt and pants and I didn't see any reason not to, so I let him run around with just a diaper on for a while.

Been a while!

Here are some pictures from the last few days that we have missed.
