Caught.....

Nix doesn't suck his thumb very often, but when he does, I take it out of his mouth. The last thing I want is to have to break that habit later in life. Daddy, on the other hand, encourages him to find his thumb. That way he won't need a binki. Which habit is harder to break???

Hmmm...What did I find?

Nix...I can see you!

Get that thumb out of your mouth!

I love peas!

Remotely clean after a feeding of peas...

Nix loves anything that is remotely related to food. He will gag a whole jar of baby food down before he will spit it out. I crack up the whole time I am feeding him because he will shudder as he tries to swallow it. Then he opens his mouth back up and grunts for the next disgusting bite!

I got it!

Here is a couple updated pictures of our little boy, even though he's not so little anymore! This is how he looks at his Grammy. He is growing like a weed and I am trying to slow him down. We are loving every single minute of it! He laughs so much and smiles at everyone he sees. I will be sad when he develops stranger fear. I always thought I loved the newborn stage but 6 months is really starting to become the favorite. We love you bubba!

Why won't my blog let me post pics????????

My poor baby

Poor Nix. We just got back from the doctor. Luckily the doc doesn't think he has pink eye but we are going to do the drops anyways. It's amazing how strong these little babies are when they don't want you to put something in their eyes! Can't say that I blame him though... Anyways, I was relieved that it's nothing too serious even though his eyes got stuck shut last night! I would cry too!

I can't believe I am doing this!!!!

I swore I would never do this blogging thing, but I guess there is no stopping it. If I don't give in then the world will end and no one will want me as a friend. I have to admit it is interesting to see what is happening in people's lives, but I am still going to need some time to accept the fact that I broke my own rule. I even set up a facebook account (another do not do list) yesterday and I think all my self control and morals will probably fly out the window soon enough. I don't promise I will write very often, but I am sure Jeanna will make sure I participate every once in awhile.

Early Valentines Presents

So lately we have had a hard time saving presents until the actual holiday. I guess we are taking after my brother Rick. He is notorious for giving presents early. Anyways, I gave Ryan his Valentine early because I was excited about it. (I don't think he is as excited as i hoped but oh well!) So I gave him tickets to the Pro Beach Volleyball at the E-center. I thought it would be fun for us to do on Valentines day as a family. And Nix loves anything sports related so I'm sure he'll be entertained the whole time.

Then last night Ryan got home from work and asked if I wanted to wait for my present or get it now. Of course I chose now. So we handed me an envelope with a cute little poem. Then it said, "Roses are red, violets are blue. How does Cirque du Soleil sound to you?"
I was so excited! I have been wanting to go since our honeymoon when the tickets were sold out.
What a perfect gift! I am really excited for our little trip to Vegas! Thanks baba!
