Nico

Okay, so I know that all I seem to do is write about Nico....well, he has become my world! What I love the most about my days is seeing Charlie in a father role. Nico lights up when he sees him and since he looks like a mini Charlie it is so much fun to see the two of them together! Charlie, you are an amazing dad and I love you more than you will ever know!

Already?

This morning at 3:00 am, I checked on Nico and to my surprise.....he had rolled over! "Already" I asked myself...he can't be getting this big this fast! Today I attended a very good friend's baby shower. It feels like I just had mine yesterday. It's so funny that you are pregnant for 40 weeks which is almost a year....and then in hours (or longer for some) you have this amazing little person in the flesh, totally dependent on you. Another dear friend is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her precious baby...she is 8 days past her due date....it's so hard to wrap your mind around what life will be like after you become a parent!

Days like this

It's so funny that weather can trigger so many memories. All of this rain reminds me of the
summer's when I was little and the days seemed so long! Some of my favorite things about summer:

• Cool aid stands


• Popsicles
  
• Garage Sales
  
• Road Trips
  
• Big Wheels
  
• Bike Rides in the evenings
  
• Making pictures out of the clouds

I hope that Nico will have wonderful memories of summertime....or if he will only remember that his mom swells up when it gets hot!

On another note...the pictures are of Charlie and I after we were born and of Nico.....can you tell that we are his parents! Charlie and I had never seen each other's baby pictures until Nico was born! Let us know what you think!

Some pics of our boy

Unconditional

I love being a mom. I truly have found a part of my soul I never knew exisited....the love a mother has for her child. Nico is not a baby who enjoys sleeping...in fact he won't even try it! Today He has been up since 3:00 am...therefore I have been up since 3 am and he has not had a nap and neither have I. Somehow, this has not phased me one bit...however, I should not be making any major decisions being this sleep deprived. Even though I can feel the tiredness in my bones, I don't want to miss a minute of him!

It just makes me laugh, really, being so sleep deprived and still functioning. Today Nico and I went to a class and all the other babies were eating and sleeping...not Nico..he just sat contently on my lap looking around and watched all the other babies sleep, enjoying every minute!

okay, that's it..I am going to bed!
