SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW.....


Is it me or will the snow NEVER end?? Now I know we live in Northeast Ohio and I love the snow when it first comes, but to me this has been the longest winter ever. It's been fun playing with Nico in the snow and sled riding, but I am ready for the snow to be gone and to play outside with all those cool toys little Nico got for his birthday. Having an October birthday really stinks for the summer toys.....


Between bundling up and having cabin fever with playing with a matchbox cars or watching another episode of cartoons....I am sooooo ready for winter to be over and for spring to arrive. Then it'll be fun time to swim in the pool in the driveway or ride bikes. This year is going to be so much fun with Nico playing now and walking....although chasing after him will be challenge and I am sure the neighbors will love to hear me say NO NICO, NICOLAS AARON.....I can almost feel the sunshine on my skin :)

YOUNGEST POKER PLAYER???
Sad, but true I think my little guy is gonna be playing poker with the old fogies (us) before too long. See Nico's favorite toy is playing cards, doesn't matter if they are real cards or learning cards we must pick them up, shuffle (Mommy's job), deal them out and then Mommy gets to fix little Nico's hand. Now I realize that he has no idea what he is doing, but watching him watching me deal them out and wondering what's turning in his little genius mind makes me laugh.
If Daddy has any say, as soon as Nico can hold a hand he is gonna teach him how to play. Although I keep telling him you gotta wait until he knows his numbers, I am not sure Daddy is gonna wait....before long Nico and Daddy will be scamming Uncle Eric, but I think Uncle Eric knows his game and will probably use Nico to his advantage....it might be a challenge for both boys :) What they might not realize that kids are smarter than they think and Nico might take both of them for all they have.....lol!!!!
For some reason if you are playing with cards with Bryan and Nico is there, don't always believe what little innocent Nico says cause Daddy been trying to get him to say...."Daddy, is 3 Kings a good hand??" I know, I know it's so wrong but sooooo funny!!!!!
Now we just have to get Nico to talk......

Here's Nico and Daddy going down the little slide!!!

Nico's New Adventure....

We have found the best place in the world for Nico. Our good friends asked us to go play at Fun Fortress and not knowing exactly what it was I was a bit skeptical, but boy was it soooo much fun!!! I am not sure who had more fun, Nico or Daddy?? To watch him run around and jump, fall and jump some more or go down the big slide with Daddy was so exciting for all of us!
Along with the jumping and obstacle courses, Nico found the drinking fountain which is his new favorite way to drink! Me being a cootie freak, am thinking oh my gosh....don't touch anything...I know, I know there are far worst things than a drinking fountain :)

Again, last Monday, Daddy took Nico along with his girlfriend Chay and her Daddy to play. By the time I got home Nico was so tired I think he could of slept all evening and through the night, but man if he could of talked he would of talked my ear off!! So all of those parents who need to run some energy off their children and want to see the excitement and pure joy in their little eyes I definitely say get on their mailing lists and take the time to be a kid again, I know we sure did!!!

BACK TO WORK....
Sad to say after 5 weeks home with Nico I am back to work on Monday. In some senses it will be nice to have adult conversation from time to time without Nico yelling Mom, Mom in the background, but I sure will miss the little guy. We are so fortunate though that if he's not with me, he's with Daddy and if not with Daddy he is with Gma D or Gma Beth. Knowing he is with someone who really loves him means the world to me.
I am sure just after a few days things will be back to normal, whatever that is and Nico will forget that Mom was home everyday with him but I sure have cherished every minute and learned one thing....Nico is definitely faster than me :)
Until our next adventure!!!

THANK YOU...
Who would of thought two little words would have been the best sentence I had ever heard?? Maybe it sounds crazy to you, but let me explain...
See as most of you know little Nico only talks and says things when he feels like he wants too but after two months of saying please and thank you, after you give and take things from him he FINALLY said thank you!!! Those two words melted my heart thinking, am I hearing things but Gma Arlene confirmed it and like all those other words and phrases he repeated them and even three days later he still says THANK YOU when you hand him something he wants.
Who could of thought my little angel was a genius at 16 mos old, but in my eyes saying thank you was the most ingenius thing his little mouth could say. So call me crazy, but as with all the other milestones in his life saying a such a small phrase would really get little Nico ANYTHING, well almost anything he wants. I am just so thankful that not only was I not the only one that heard it but that Gma Arlene got the opportunity to be here and listen another first for our little angel!
Until Nico's next adventure......

HAPPY NEW YEAR...WE'LL A LITTLE LATE :)
It's been a while since I posted, but thought I should while I have a little time to myself. What a year already so much going on and even though I know everything will work out it's seems in just then a little less than month since my last post, life has changed so dramatically....let me explain.
Well as usual my little angel has continued to amaze me everyday. It is unbelievable all the words he can say and does, once yes just once. Like for example today I gave him his juice cup and to mine and my Mom's surprise what does he say....."my juice" but of course never to say it again. Our theory is that the boy can talk, he just chooses not too although most people say don't worry one day he'll just starting talking and never stop.....that kind of scares me if he is anything like us because both Mom and Dad love to talk and sometimes I think Dad talks to hear his own voice....ha!!!
It's been really difficult since my surgery and not being able to pick him up by myself. Honestly I think that is the hardest because he doesn't understand and to hear him cry for me breaks my heart, but before I know it I'll be back to my old self as everyday gets a little bit better. Luckily he is at the age that he won't remember anything about this whole ordeal and life will be restored soon enough.
Also with the bad news of Nico's uncle being called up for duty in Iraq. I know that was always in the cards but until it happens to your family, you can't even imagine. It breaks my heart so I can't even begin to know how they feel. I just know in my heart that things will be ok and that we will all be there to get them through this tremendously hard time. Love and support will be what gets us through this and pictures to remind Nico of his brave Uncle is so when he comes back Nico can say (hopefully) uncle and show him his bright blue eyes that will melt anyones heart.
So as you can see we have many things to look forward to in 2008, but we also have some things we all need to be strong for and hopefully my health will take a better turn this year but with many tests still in the works, I can only hope for the best and know that as I keep telling everyone that I am to mean to go yet and that I still have a lot of heck to raise yet!!!
And as I always say good things happen to good people and I know in my heart that only good things can happen as we continue on for a better 2008!!!
Happy New Year to all! Until next time.....

Christmas 2007
I have to say that even though I was a little disappointed that Nico wasn't more interested in what Santa brought him, it was still a wonderful day. Surprisingly Nico slept in until 8:30AM and after making him eat breakfast, I know I mean but he doesn't know any different anyways, he opened about two gifts to want to go play with his old stuff. So after making him sit with us for video moments, he was off and running playing with a baby toy. Now after all this time, he hasn't played with this toy he finds it and it's his new favorite thing....we should of just wrapped up his old stuff, ha!!
Seriously, it was a wonderful day and Nico was really good even though he only a had an hour nap. This only makes me more excited for next year when I know he'll open gifts and watch me track Santa.....we'll I hope so or Bryan will make fun of me again!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2007!!!!
As the Christmas holiday has arrived, I thought I would reflect on the good things God has blessed us with this year. First and formost, my precious Nicolas who is everything to Bryan and I, but also to our friends and families who have been here for us these last couple of months when we really have needed them.
This year is really exciting for me, but I think Bryan thinks I am nuts doing things like tracking Santa, opening Nico's Christmas jammies this morning or just the traditions of reading him Twas the Night before Christmas. All of these things are so important to me because even though he may not understand this year, it's traditions that we have to continue on years to come when he does understand and one day when he may act like he doesn't care, but I know he will as I do now with my families quirky traditions.
So for all of my family and friends, those who I adore and love more than anything, know this Christmas all of you no matter where you are, you are in my thoughts. And just wait until you are forced to see ANOTHER picture of the cutest boy in the world because to me watching him grow up has been the best thing in my life, and hopefully yours.
Even though the next month or so might not be as great as this moment today, I can reflect back and think I have to make it so that next year I can do all those cheesy things Bryan makes fun of me and see my little angel's face as he opens yet another pair of shoes.....HA.....and hopefully Nike will take my advice and let me personalize them.....I know I am crazy, but I guess that's why I work.
Merry Christmas to all and God Bless, Kel.

Terrible 1's......
I think Nico has reached his terrible 1's....not that he is bad because compared to most kids he is an angel, but I swear Bryan did some really bad things to his mother that I am being punished for....for example Daddy has taught little Nico how to fill his squeezable toys with water and squirt Mommy or Grandma, whoever is giving the little angel a bath. Or the ball pit balls that somehow end up hitting Mommy in the face or the wall or the pretty picture on the wall as little Nico doesn't have great skill unless it's something he wants to throw. Or how about the clothes that somehow end up from the hamper to being thrown all over his room. Or the attitude of I am going to do what I want or scream until I get it...we'll I might be exaggerating a little on that one, but what Nico wants, Nico wants.
So thus begins the terrible 1's that I am sure will turn into the terrible 2's before long, but I guess I am very lucky because he is a good boy, but one of these days it going to turn into a little bit of water into a bucket while our little angel is laughing his head off because soaking Mommy is his mission in life.....Although this seems terrible, it has been a wonderful journey that even though life has become quite stressful watching our little angel in his terrible 1's makes me laugh and help a not so great time in our lives seems wonderful!~

I SWEAR MY VOCABULARY CONSISTS OF NO NICO, NICOLAS AARON, NOOOOOOO, WHAT DID MOMMY JUST SAY?

HOW TO ENTERTAIN A 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR....
We took our fourth trip to NC since little Nico was born and I learned one thing, well maybe two...you will do anything to entertain a 1 year old and he has taken over control!!! OK, as with my previous post I guess the second part we already knew but he made sure we reaffirmed it on our trip!
It started out very nice he was talking, well baby talking in his LOUD voice and we were enjoying the trip until, ok believe it or not after a couple of hours he wanted out and he wanted out NOW!!! Of course being the responsible parents we are that wasn't plausible sooo....he comes the I would do anything to entertain a 1 year old.....so we made funny faces, sang songs I would NEVER want anyone to hear me sing, eat gold fish and more gold fish, stopped for Burger King because we have to have Chicken and FF again!!! I know, I know it's the worse thing that you can feed your kid and Bryan says he is going to hate Chicken one day but when your desperate for him to feed himself, it's Chicken and FF AGAIN!!!!!
I look back now and realize that he was a really good boy, but if anyone saw the faces I made or the songs I sang they would look at me and think.....man she has lost it, and maybe I have but it made our trip so much more pleasant and along with enjoying our week at Grandma's we had a a fun trip home, which one day I am sure he will never remember but if he does he'll think man my Mom is a dork!!!
Happy Weekend!!!

PINK EYE...YUCK!!!
So my family got the wonderful experience on what pink eye is and why we don't want it again. See it all began couple of weeks ago when Nico started to get a cold and what I thought was a cold in his eyes, but surprise not only wasn't it but Mommy had it too! So the fevers started for both of us and the running nose and eyes, which gave the normal week a wonderful twist, ha! So lesson learned on both Mommy and Daddy's part, when Nico has something coming out of his eyes don't touch it!!!! And definitely don't touch your own eyes!!!!
But as with anything else in the adventures of Nico it was a big surprise, but once again he is off and running waiting for the exact moment when he can sneak up on Athena and thus begins the chase...Athena running away and Nico wanting to love his puppy. Who would of thought all those moments when I thought is Nico ever going to walk, I would think that can't he just lay down for a second??? Truly though this time in his life has been definitely been the best and now that he has decided that he needs to copy everything we do, it's time to reevaluate our gestures and words because Nico has now finally become a mimic of us!!!!
Until the next adventure........

TUDE....IS THAT EVEN A WORD??
I THINK OUR LITTLE PRECIOUS ANGEL HAS FINALLY GOTTEN HIS FIRST TASTE OF ATTITUDE. YOU SEE LITTLE NICO HAS GOTTEN HIS WAY MOST OF HIS LIFE AND NOW HE HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO WORK IT. FUNNY AS IT IS, MAYBE GRANDMAS WILL LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE OR THE TIME TO WATCH HIM SCREAM AND CRY WHEN IT DOESN'T GO HIS WAY....YOU THINK, HOW POSSIBLY COULD IT NOT GO HIS WAY AT 1 YEAR OLD YOU ASK??
WELL LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, IF LITTLE NICO WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE, BUT MOMMY IS SAYING NO BECAUSE OF A RUNNING NOSE OR IT'S GETTING DARK OUT, LITTLE NICO LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU JUST TOOK AWAY HIS BEST FRIEND AND SCREAMS....SERIOUSLY DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT'S GONNA HELP, KID? OR HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT MOMMY PUTS ON YOUR PLATE AND YOU WANT TO THROW IT ON THE GROUND BECAUSE IT'S NOT CHEETOS AGAIN...THERE COMES HIS "TUDE". I AM GOING TO SAY THIS AND MAYBE I WRONG BECAUSE HE IS ONLY 1, BUT.....
EVEN THOUGH HE MAY THINK IT'S NICO'S WORLD....OMG HERE IT COMES, IT'S NOT!!! SO THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME WALK AWAY OR IGNORE MY PRECIOUS ANGEL IT'S BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NICO HAS THROWN ANOTHER TUDE!!!
SO FOR ALL OF HIS GRANDMAS AND THOSE WHO LOVE OUR LITTLE ANGEL, REMEMBER THIS, IF YOU THINK NICO COULDN'T COME UP WITH THAT HIMSELF OR DO SOMETHING TO BE A LITTLE ORNERY, HE CAN....HE KNOWS MORE OF WHAT HE IS DOING THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. SO WITH THE NEXT TUDE THAT COMES ON, IT'S TIME TO DO WHAT MOMMY AND DADDY DOES, WALK AWAY AND ACT LIKE YOU NEVER EVEN SAW THE OTHER SIDE OF OUR PRECIOUS ANGEL!!!

WALKING......
My baby boy has really gotten down walking and it's funny as with anything he has accomplished, it seemed like forever to get here but when he has finally completed the task it went to fast. Maybe that doesn't make sense to anyone else as when I say things like that Bryan thinks I am CRAZY and maybe I am a little bit.....but he has finally gotten a grasp on walking.
As you watch him get himself up and walk across the room you don't want to fuss about it because when you do he just falls down as he losing his balance, but as any trooper he gets back up and starts again. When he reaches you we clap and tell him how great he is, and his beautiful blue eyed smile just melts you heart. And I think he is not my little baby boy he was when we brought him home such a short time again, but we are beginning the first stages of the toddler years.
So for every step he takes and the one more then last time, I thought is he walking more?? Until we fast forward to today and I don't ask myself that, but instead think man I better get into better shape because he is definitely faster than me!!! Although he gives himself away when he knows he is doing something like going up the stairs Mommy just told him not too because he is laughing hystorically or is being just a little too quite. So today it's walking and tomorrow it will be talking and building until we'll be waiting for the school bus for the very first time.....and Mommy will be crying harder than you :)

Happy Birthday Nico!!!
You are now officially one year old!!! Who can believe how fast a year has gone and how much you have grown in such a short time! You are loved by so many and our love for you is so hard to put into words, but no matter what we love you forever and always!!!
So today as we celebrate your "birth" day remember how special you really are and what a miracle it has been to us to have such a special son. I just hope as the years go by, we will cherish every moment as it is a last one because before we know it you'll be off to college and we'll think didn't you just turn ONE????
We love you Baby Boy!!!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Nico's First Ear Infection....

We have been pretty lucky with our healthy little guy and not really having a cold in the first year of his short life, but yesterday we got our first reality check....

It started really on Monday when Daddy took Nico to Gma Beth's house before work and he threw up for the first time in a long time, but I didn't think much of it as we all know how Daddy loves to horseplay with the baby. But then it turned into waking up at 3am screaming, not wanting to go back to sleep until almost 4:30am, which I thought was odd as Nico is such a good sleeper and has been since he was 4 weeks old, but didn't really click. Then when Mommy got him up to get him ready for breakfast he was hot and I took his temperature to find that he had a slight temperature but still nothing to alarm me something was wrong. Mommy went off to work and Daddy started feeling how warm you were too and it turns out your temperature was over 100.....

But Daddy fed you and you were ok, and took you over to visit Gpa but when they returned and Nico got up the temperature was back up to almost 101, so Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said to come right now. Mommy left work and Daddy met us at the doctor's office to find out Nico had his first ear infection. Since you were so small, he recommended that we get you on antibiotics and now you are loving the cherry flavored medicine as you think it is a treat!!

So our precious little angel got his first "real" illness and now Mommy and Daddy can be called old pros!! I am sure there will definitely be more trips to the doctor, but hopefully the next cold will good as smoothly as the first, but of course I am sure we have much, much more to learn as the adventures of Nico's life go on!!!

Walking....

Oh my goodness, I knew the day was coming but it is finally here and I had to hold the emotions of my little boy learning to walk.....

So this is how it started, Bryan called me to tell me he took three steps for him and of course I knew he wasn't lying, I had to see it for myself. So when I got home sure enough as most things go, Nico was tired of walking and just wanted to be left alone and held. So as he melted my heart once again with Mama, I left it alone but......

Then my Mom decided she just had to see the little guy do it for himself, so when she came over Bryan got out the big guns....soda. He stood up and looked at all of us as we intently wanted him to do nothing more than walk, but he stood and stood until he decided he couldn't take it no more and took 5 WHOLE STEPS!!!

Now let me tell you I could of melted right there as my little baby boy was growing up so fast, even before my eyes. Of course now it's not about walking it's about getting that can of soda from Dad!!! So Bryan opened the can and to our surprise it wasn't the soda he wanted but the can tab....so we let him play with it for a minute until we realized maybe that isn't a good idea...but he did just walk, I thought!!!

Then Daddy decided to try again and he did it again!!! Everyone just had to clap and yea because he had accomplished so much. So whether or not he ever walks again (I am sure he will) I feel sad but joyful that my little boy is growing up. And even though I can't bring those baby moments back, I know that it's only new adventures of chasing after the kid that before we know will be running from us :)

Friday, August 31, 2007

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It's funny to think two things, one that Bryan is 31 and two that just a year ago little Nico was NEVER going to come out....or so we thought and now he is such a little man!

I guess in this last months pictures I can really start to see him as a little man instead of a baby, he is starting to have his features be more distinct and his personality is definitely coming out!!! As I have stated before he has become so independent that every moment I have him in my arms for more than a second, I cherish because one day he is going to be too big for my lap, especially at the rate he is growing!!! He might be taller than me at 5, HA!

It is also amazing to me how smart he is, for example Great-Grandpa taught him how to push the button to open and close the garage door and even though there are two openers, he knows what buttons to push. And if you don't let him do it when he wants too, you would think you took the child's best friend away :) So begins the learning of you may want something, but you don't always get what you want part of life....

This is definitely something that is hard for me because I want to give him the world, but I also know that I have to step back and let him work for what he wants too. I know being an only child, he will be spoiled I don't doubt that but I also want him to work hard and be a good person without the expectations of getting what he wants when he wants it because we all know that is not how life works! I guess maybe I am looking to hard into it, as he is only 11 months old (tomorrow), but I have realized that even though he thinks we think he doesn't understand, I think sometimes he does more than we can ever imagine.

So today on Daddy's birthday we celebrate him, but we also know that our birthdays are nothing compared to celebrating all the new things Nico continually learns and does as he amazes us every single day!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!
We love you!

ANOTHER 1ST FOR LITTLE NICO.....

IT IS AMAZING TO ME HOW ONE DAY NICO WAS A LITTLE BABY THAT NEEDED US FOR EVERYTHING TO TODAY WHEN HE IS MR. INDEPENDENT WHO NOW CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME WITH HIS 1ST'S....

I STARTED TO NOTICE HIS INDEPENDENCE QUITE A WHILE AGO, BUT NOW IT'S CRAZY ALL THE NEW THINGS HE DOES EVERYDAY AND I DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL I SIT BACK AND THINK....DID HE DO THAT YESTERDAY??

SO A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEN CHANGING HIM AND TRYING TO OCCUPY HIM FROM ROLLING ONTO THE FLOOR FROM HIS CHANGING TABLE, HE CLAPS. NOW I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM FOR MONTHS TO TRY TO GET HIM TO CLAP BY SAYING YEA NICO TO PLAYING PATTY CAKE, BUT AS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IT'S ON NICOLAS TIME....SO WHEN HE WAS READY AND FEELS LIKE HE WANTS TOO, HE CLAPS. AND HOW CUTE IT IS, IT ALMOST MADE ME WANT TO CRY AS NOW I FINALLY KNOW HE IS GROWING UP WAY TO FAST!!

ALONG WITH CLAPPING HE HAS DECIDED WHAT NICO WANTS, NICO GETS...SO WATCHING HIM ONCE AGAIN CLIMB ON THE TOY BOX (WHICH HE KNOWS HE NOT SUPPOSE TOO AND DOES IT JUST TO HEAR MOMMY SAY NO AGAIN) TO CLIMB ONTO THE COUCH, TO CLIMB AROUND TO GET TO THE BLINDS. TO ME, THAT'S A GENIUS TO AT 10 MONTHS OLD TO SIT THERE AND FIGURE OUT, HOW CAN I OUTSMART MOMMY AGAIN??

NOW I KNOW EVERYONE SAYS THERE KIDS ARE THE SMARTEST EVER, BUT I AM CONTINUALLY REMINDING MYSELF THAT SOON ENOUGH, HE WILL FINALLY REALIZE HE IS SMARTER THAN HIS OLD PARENTS!!!
