Coordinated for New Year’s

Nico dressed up in a snappy outfit to bring in the new year. The sweater came from his grandparents and the shoes from a friend. He was styling and ready for 2009. Here’s to a great year!

To the movies!

We're been trapped by the snow for the last couple of days, but have made it out. We're off the see the film 'Doubt.'

The theater we're going to has a 'cry room' where we get to hang with Nico. It's his first time at the movies.

It's first come first served to the room. We'll see how it goes.

Christmas photos

Happy holidays! We celebrated at home today and took several portraits of little Nico in some of his outfits. (The reindeer suit was a cute gift from a friend.)

To be honest, it took many, many photos to capture his cute smile... but it's worth it. Coby still looks pretty dang cute, too.

Nico's first snow

Seattle got dusted by snow over night, having us wake up to a winter wonderland. It was Nico’s first chance to play in the 3 inches of snow. We took a moment to take some family portraits and shots around the house. The weather is predicted to be cold for the week.

Nico's 1st babysitter

We're off to the theater, leaving Nico in the capable hands of our good friend Mary Hanks.

We should probably be more nervous as new parents, but we're not...because it's Mary.

If your wondering, we're off to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

Nico starts hitting the bottle

In a big step toward Connie getting some sleep, Nico has begun taking one meal a day from Robert.

He (Nico not Robert) was a little fussy at first, but then took the bottle easily. We’re still learning about the different bottles and their features, but so far the Born Free bottles seem to be working out.

Breaking news baby

Nico made his first newsroom appearance on my second day back to work. Apparently he was a big hit, drawing a crowd of folks. He slept for the bulk of the visit.

A big thanks to Times photographer Dean Rutz for taking these photos during the visit.

Whoa!

Man, this was crazy! We were changing Nico in the 122 when he fired a #2 across the car hitting the window.

The force could have taken an eye out and scare someone for life!

It was as if he were Spider-Man, but shooting his web from a different place.

There was one casualty: his little bunny slippers got hit.

Man, I'm still shocked at the force his little body can shoot with.

We're cleaned up and ready to drive on armed with another new parenting experience!
