Chilling with Uncle Leo

Nicholas and I took our first solo road trip last week to visit Nana, Pops and Uncle Leo while Andy was traveling for work.  He must have known it was a trial run, because he slept the entire way there and back, not a peep out of the boy for 3 hours.   We're going to tag along on Andy's next trip down to Florida, so we'll see how he does flying.

Nursery Photos

I'm still working on half of the nursery, but here are some photos I've been promising to post.

Someone found his feet

And they are the most fascinating things ever!  Now instead of trying to find a toy he likes I just pull off a sock and he's a happy boy.

 

Video clip on facebook

I can't for the life of me figure out how to upload a video clip to this blog, but if you're on facebook you can check my profile and view the video I uploaded of Nicholas laughing. 

Another Snow Storm

The highlights - 24 inches of snow here and another 5-10 expected tomorrow. 

Andy deserves a medal for his shoveling efforts.  He dislocated his shoulder on Thursday night in a soccer game, so we spent a couple of very painful hours in the ER.  He finally perked up when the doctor explained that they'd be giving him mix of drugs they referred to as a "twilight sleep" while they poped his shoulder back into place.  It worked like a charm, he didn't rember them doing it and right after it was back into place he rolled his head over to look at the doctor and in somewhat of a slur said "so...what did that tell you"?  The doctor said "well, it told me I put your shoulder back where it should be."  Andy promptly fell asleep and started snoring.  20 minutes later when he came around he was asking when they were going to do it.  He was still a little loopy on on the way out of the hospital and let me take a picture of him....in all his glory.  He did manage to dig out our driveway with one arm, but now he's trying to book a flight to Florida for some "important meetings" before this next storm hits. 

Sitting Up (with a little assistance)

When we first got this chair, he would tip right over and grab his feet so this is a big accomplisment for him....especially considering his 4 month stats (height and weight  are both in the 25th-50th percentile, his head - in the 95th!). 

A little tummy time:

These are from a couple weeks ago when our cousin Megan came for a visit.  We went down to Eastern Market where it is much easier to get around in a carrier than a stroller.
