First Haircut

Yes, we know. We haven't posted our official 8 months pictures. They will just have to be 8 months 1 week pictures. But, in the meantime, we have a few shots of Nick's first haircut. Enjoy.

Before...

After.

Halloween

While Nick is not quite old enough to head out trick-or-treating he did get dressed up to head over for an event at day care. He will also sport the outfit tomorrow when we give out candy the neighborhood kids.

Some Random Pictures

While I do not consider myself anything but a hopeful amateur I have enjoyed the Nikon Digital SLR camera I picked up before Nick was born. I thought since I have this wonderful outlet called the Internet to bore my friends and relatives I would share some pictures (other than Nick) that I have taken that I like. Thanks for indulging me.

Oregon Wine Country - Near Newburg (Bella Vita Vineyard, I believe)

Same place.

This was still in the wine region. A friend of mine (Jason Douglas) actually snapped this while playing with the camera and I though that it looked good as a black & white.

Ah, Maui. How I miss thee.

Just one of the many beautiful sights in Hawaii (Maui).

This is a picture I took of Jason and Kim's little girl, Alia, at around 6 months.

Chillin' on a Sunday Morning

Nick just happened to be in a relaxed mood while playing this morning so I grabbed my camera to take a few shots. As for an update on things? Not too much going on. Nick's top two teeth have decided to make an appearance to keep the bottom two company. Charlie is recovering from an ear infection. And I am trying to actually accept the fact that the Bengals beat the Bears as bad as they did. The Bengals!?!? Really? Seriously?

Eight months is coming up soon and we have our tickets booked for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to seeing everyone and we are sure that Nick cannot wait, either.

I love my blue block!

But the green one is good, too.

But let me show you my favorite... it is around here somewhere....

Here it is!

This is where I keep my stash.

I wish dad would get me a hair cut.

Getting Around

It was bound to happen. The crawling thing is starting. He isn't QUITE there yet, but pretty close. Take a look and see what you think.

7 Months

Wow! Another month down. All three of us have been dealing with a cold, but otherwise we are all doing great. Nick continues to grow, develop and is just a happy baby to be with. He really enjoys his baby food... except peas. He gets that from his dad. His hair is getting to the point of needing to be cut as you can see in the pictures below. We wash it at night and he wakes up with some new hair style that just sticks up in random ways. It's all cute, though.

I don't like to sit still for long so pictures in the chair are getting more challenging.

I am practicing my waving.

Check out my teeth!

Six Months

We were a little late in getting the photos shot and posted, but believe it or not Nick is now six months old. Where does the time go? He is moving around (rolling, scooting, not yet crawling), he can sit (although he has not yet sat himself up on his own), he has 2 teeth, is eating food (we are onto sweet peas), and in general has a very happy personality. Simone and I couldn't be happier.

Below is a video of him sitting and playing with a box of blocks. Then there are a few photos from six months as well as photos from each month (birth through 6) just for a short look back. Enjoy.
