It's official.....

Nicholas has had a lingering cough and runny nose so we took him into the doctor's office today to have him checked out before we leave for vacation tomorrow.

Here's what we learned:
Nicholas' ears are clear......
Nicholas' lungs are clear.....
Nicholas weighs 22 lbs, 2.5 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is now in the 94th percentile and is officially too big for his infant car seat. On to the big boy convertable car seats now. My little boy is growing up so fast... or is he just growing so fast - hahahah!!

We are off to Punta Cana tomorrow for a much needed vacation so check back next week for an update on our family vacation :)

Look what I got....

I got my first tooth yesterday!! Talk about hard to photograph.... but it's his lower gum, center left. Looks like the one next to it will be popping thru any minute also. We're amazed how good of a mood he's been in between cutting a tooth AND having a cold this past week. Looks like he'll be indulging in steaks and lobster on vacation next week too now :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Well we're a couple of days early but here are some pics from our little photo shoot :)

Dan wasn't too happy I put the headband on Nicholas and I'm sure Nicholas will make us burn these pictures some day but hey - it's his first Valentine's Day .... and he just looks so cute.....

6 months old

I can't believe he's half way there to being one year old. 6 months has gone by so fast. This month we have worked on eating lots of new things! Rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, carrots and bananas. Definitely not a fan of bananas - just like mom :) Nicholas is also doing a great job sitting up by himself these days. The one thing mommy and daddy wish he had mastered this month - sleeping thru the night!! Hopefully by month 7 :)

Stats from 6 month appt on 2/5:
weight = 20 lbs, 9.5 oz.
height = 27"

Couple new pics....

He's just so adorable I can't wait to post new pics :)

These old soothie binkies are great for my teething :)

I am such a ham for the camera these days!

Mmmm..... thanks for sharing your water bottle Mom!!

My first ride....

We went to the car show in Worcester this past weekend. Not too many cars but good to get out of the house. We had Nicholas' portrait done at the Lexus dealer area. Here's Nicholas in his first Lexus - the red convertable Daddy was eyeing :)
