Nico's Walking Odyssey 2009

It's official, Nico is fully mobile.



Here's the hip hop edition. I couldn't resist!

Another Nico-Jumperoo slideshow

A lot has happened since we've posted here -- and we'll do a major update soon enough. But for now, here's a slideshow we whipped up.

Nico has intense belly laughs - from two angles

Papa Robert found a way to get Baby Nico to have some serious belly laughs. Nico went so crazy, just getting close was making him crack up. We were lucky to get the hilarious laughs on two cameras. Have a look:

Nico meets Uncle Andrew and Aunt Sarah

Baby Nico holds no grudges even though Uncle Andrew made fun of his middle name: Peter. Andrew, and his soon-to-be-wife Aunt Sarah, had a staring contest.

Bath time with Nico!

Connie gave baby Nico a bath today, showing Abuelita Belly and I how it's done. Hope to have some photos up at some point too.

Nico meets "Abue"

Within moments of meeting, Abuelita Belly had baby Nico cracking up. We're so lucky to have my mom with us. Abue, which is what other grandchildren, has a total of five grandchildren.

Nico, Napping and Pike Place Market

Here are some new videos we've recently recorded using my work's iFlip camera. It's a small little device that makes pretty cool and simple videos. The first is my favorite, recording a moment between Connie and Nico.



We went to Pike Place Market's Lowell's for breakfast this morning. We sat on the second floor, but because it was the bar, we sat toward the back overseeing the Market versus overseeing the Sound.



This one is a quick video of Nico sleeping.



The camera is pretty cool. If someone wants to purchase one for us, we'd gladly accept.

Nico Portraits

Grandma Marla asked if we had taken any photos of little Nico in the nude... if you think of it, we all have those photographs in our baby photo albums. So, in the name of tradition and pride, we took some portraits of Nico as we changed him in the morning.

The lighting was beautiful, making the green room so light and bright.

Dang he's cute!

Our first ultrasound

We got an early look at our kid during a checkup to look for any abnormalities. It was a two-part test. The first part was measuring the baby's neck, the next is some blood work to be done May 29.

Telling Mom and Dad

It took Connie weeks of staying silent, but she managed to keep quiet until Mom and Dad came for their visit. The exact date escapes us, but it was a Spring Break visit.

Telling Andrew

Well, we don't remember what the exact date was when we told Connie's brother Andrew, but his reaction was what we expected: He blinked and smiled.

Telling Coby

Coby had an interesting reaction when we told him he was going to be an older brother.
