Music Together...

Last week was our last Music Together class. Nico absolutely LOVED this class. It was a series of 8 classes where we sit an sing songs, dance, play instruments and much more. To those of you that gave Nico money for his birthday: A BIG THANK YOU!!! He had a blast and we'll definitely be doing it again!
He had to wear his guitar shirt for music class!
Hellooooo tooo Nicoooo...so glad to see you!!!
Singing along!
And now he's flipping!

Problem Solver...

One day last week Nico was being really quiet (highly unusual) and so I sneaked up on him. I found him playing with his wooden puzzles! He probably stayed in his playroom for 10 minutes just taking the pieces out and putting them back in.
Smart cookie!

Birthday Sunday...

Sunday was a day of birthday celebrations. We started the party train at Cade's first birthday party. This was an all boy party (except for one little girl) complete with airplanes, balls and a swimming pool. After that we headed over to Lala's for her housewarming/birthday bash. Dree Dree brought her two pups and Nico had a blast playing with them and entertaining all of the adults. Happy birthday Cade and Aunt Ashley!!!
"Happy Birthday to Cade!"
Mmmmmm...cake!
Just his size!
Attack of the puppies!!! The icing all over his mouth didn't help keep the puppies away!
Giggy, Nico and Wampus

Fire Station Visit...

Last week we got to visit a fire station here in Nashville. A friend arranged this field trip to celebrate her little boy's first birthday. Let me tell you...birthday season has begun! I thought Nico would really love this outing. Not the case. He was sort of standoffish and timid. He wanted me to hold him, which is not like him at all. I honestly don't think he felt well. He fell asleep on the way home. This is very unusual for him. Despite the not-so-enthused visit, he insists he's going to be a fireman for Halloween :)
So serious!
Loosening up a little...in more ways than one judging by this pic!!!

Summer Fun...

Since it has been so hot lately we have been playing in water anytime we're outside. It's amazing how entertaining a plastic cup and old coffee canister can be!!! We also took to opportunity to take a quick trip to the beach while David was gone to Memphis last week. Gabby and all of her grand-kids...in a two bedroom condo...it was a blast! Took some maneuvering, but it was fun. I love seeing all of the kiddos together :)
Look at that tongue sticking out...such concentration.
Gabby had a little cot that Nico slept in every night. This was taken the first night. The next night, Emma had a cot of her own. No, they did not sleep like this!!!
"Emma, are you sad?", was Nico's quote of the week.
How can you be sad with stylin' hats like these???
