Three months already!

It's been three months since Niko was born and I don't know how I ever thought I was so busy before!!!
We are doing much better with going to work now that Niko has decided he wants a bottle and only a bottle. I'm still struggling with the arrangement, but he is happy so I am too :) And how can I complain when that's the only real issue we've had? He is such an awesome baby...he only cries when he needs something and is happy to just check things out (although he has a new thing where he wants to sit up straight all the time and he can't do it by himself, it can be tiring) and he will go to sleep in his crib. I think I am being very spoiled by this first baby. But if he's anything like Nathan or me when we were toddlers then he will make up for it :)
And now some pictures:
It was finally warm enough for a walk...he's asleep or he would be hating the sunglasses!

The smiles took team work: Grandma held him, I talked to him and Ryanne took pictures...but they're so worth it.

I finally got a good smiling picture by myself...while at work even! And his outfit is so adorable :)

He fell asleep while I was vacuuming....but he was only happy if I was carrying him.

 Rambo loves him too :)

A couple of the official 3 month pictures (on time too!)

 And some extra cute ones............

That is all. And of course it is all about this little (well big, but still little) boy!

FAMILY

I finally got Nathan to send me this picture so I had to share!

This is from Niko's blessing when he was one week old. Nathan did a great job and it was a small but awesome gathering. We did it kind of last minute because I was still in too much pain to do it at church the one Sunday Nathan was here and then we were running out of time. So a huge thank you to the bishop, Remington and the family for coming so last minute!

Anyway, this is our only family picture where I'm not in a hospital gown so I have really been bugging Nathan to email it to me :)

That is all for now!

So there's this boy...

and my world revolves around him :)  I have lots of pictures of him and nothing else! So here are a few:

He was really upset and didn't like anything I tried, until I wrapped

 him in Daddy's blanket! He's a fat little burrito :)

 A couple on the day he turned two months:

Since I'm living with Gramma while Nathan is away I'm trying to keep to my bedroom as much as possible. So I have had to keep coming up with more places to put things. This is the most recent and my favorite. I needed some more space for his clothes so I bought this. It is actually for a bathroom, but it works perfect to hang his clothes in my bedroom that is running out of floor space.

And for more pictures you can go here.  

PS I had more pictures and a full blog and then closed the window before posting...so mad. So I just put all the pictures on facebook and didn't even delete the bad ones!

Niko

So Niko is now almost 7 weeks old! Where did all that time go?!? I did take some pictures at one month and I used an idea that I got from a friend so I will never forget how old he was in these pictures.

Haha, he wasn't happy, but my sister convinced me to buy this huge bear by telling me I could do a grow with me type thing with it. So I bought it and here we go! He's actually stretched out in this one so I kept it for that reason ;)

Isn't the 1 month sign brilliant? I loved it so I stole it and now will have a comparison when I find random pictures and don't how know old he was. (We recently ran into this problem with mom's pictures of us)

And Sheri for some more pictures you can go here. And anyone else, but it's facebook so most of you have seen them already :) Also, if you click on the pictures a bigger one should pop up.

Valentine's Day

Our plans for Valentine's Day were the same as any other day. Go to work, come home and get stuff done or just hang out and cuddle. I woke up to chocolates from Gramma/Nanna (one for me and one for Niko)

 Mom couldn't wait until Valentine's Day, but this was her early gift to Niko

Work went well and Niko was a very good boy so that alone made my day. It's very hard to watch a newborn and three additional children that aren't yours, kinda stressful. Then I came home to all of this:

Two dozen roses, Blanco Blanco gift card and a Sanctuary Spa gift card. He said he figured my back would be hurting and could use a break from taking care of our awesome son. He is so thoughtful :)
Then we all went over to mom and dad's house for the traditional Valentine's Day dinner; heart shaped meatloaf and pink mashed potatoes. Mom gave us some super cute socks, a package of our favorite candy bars, and I feel like I'm forgetting something. But here are the cute socks and fancy container (the candy is long gone!)

 Overall it was a pretty great day considering my Valentine is half way around the world!
