Today, at 6:19 p.m., our parenting dream came true... the circle is complete. Connie and I introduce Nico to Star Wars: A New Hope.

It's official, Nico is fully mobile.

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

Nico and the ribs

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:24:00 +0000

Nico had his first taste of ribs, and we think he liked 'em! We were at Johnny Rebs' in Bellflower, CA.

Nico screams for ice cream

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:14:00 +0000

Thanks to some yummy flavors from Molly Moon and Aunt Lanelle, Nico got his first taste of ice cream!

The flavor was Balsamic Strawberry and it was yummy.

Nico got a taste from his aunt, but he got several spoonfuls from his daddy. Nico yelled with delight. That's our boy! He loved it!

Another Nico-Jumperoo slideshow

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:07:00 +0000

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.

He's got a tooth!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:29:00 +0000

Today Nico turned 7 months old! As a gift, he got his first tooth! We're not sure if it is just one or two, but they are definitely there along the bottom.

On his 6-month birthday, Nico learned how to sit up on his own... can't wait to see his trick when he turns 8 months old.

He wears his sunglasses at night

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:39:00 +0000

Nico was sporting some expensive sunglasses (Thanks to TJ, who unknowingly let me put them on Nico).

Gonzo baby and Puerto Rico

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:41:00 +0000

In preparation for our approaching trip to Puerto Rico, we got Baby Nico some swim trunks, some shades and this hat. While mom wasn't around, I tested out the hat on Nico. I think he looks pretty cute... kinda like a mini Hunter S. Thompson!

Nico's laugh

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:54:00 +0000

Nico was in a silly, laughing mood so Abue and I decided to document and record his laugh. He did laugh as hard once we started recording, but it was still damn cute!

Playball!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sun, 03 May 2009 05:36:00 +0000

We took Nico to his first baseball game to watch our team, The Oakland A's, take on and defeat the hometown team, Seattle Mariners. It was a good game and even Abue had a blast!

This photo was taken be another A's fan, giving us a nice shot to commemorate this historic game for Nico!

Tip-toe through the tulips with Nico

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:26:00 +0000

The family had a blast introducing Nico to the beautiful Tulips this year. Here are some snap shots.

Family portraits

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 04:54:00 +0000

Our good friend Della Chen gave us a gift recently –- having taken some family portraits before Nico was born, she offered to come by and take some of the new addition. In less than an hour, we had an incredible collection.

Della does this for a living and she's damn good! You can see the entire gallery and order prints at her client site:

Nico has intense belly laughs - from two angles

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:19:00 +0000

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:

Super updates

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:44:00 +0000

Well, I just finished backing up all our photos and video... I realized I have not posted a TON of stuff, including the visit from Uncle Andrew and Aunt Sarah or even Abuelita Belly moving in with us.

So, I will be adding the content throughout the blog, in the accurate chronological order the content was generated.

Salvador, Salvador, Salvador!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:38:00 +0000

No foolin' but Nico is gonna be a huge soccer futbol fan. We watched El Salvador vs. Costa Rica, thanks to the Web. Sadly, we lost 1-0. Tia Lisa sent Nico his first jersey... and I think she got me my shirt as well.

Nico training!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:03:00 +0000

He's an unstoppable machine! Nico is training hard for the baby Olympic focused on taking goal in the Johnny Jumper competition.

[This is perhaps the best video I've ever shot in my life!]

Nico's big into books

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:05:00 +0000

Little Nico is big into books... and he's got some big books too! Even before he was born, we read to baby Nico. Papa Robert really wanted Nico to like books form the start. Robert wasn't a big book fan when we was young.

And, well, it worked! Nico loves it when we read to him and loves looking at the photos. We all recommend Good Night Moon and Skippyjon Jones!

Nico Jumps in

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:08:00 +0000

We noticed that Nico had mad kicking skills... so, we got the little dude a 'Johnny Jumper' and he loved it. He was jumping around within moments.

More photos and videos about the jumper and other things to come.

Nico meets Uncle Andrew and Aunt Sarah

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 03:24:00 +0000

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.

Nico found his toes!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:47:00 +0000

While Connie was changing Nico's diaper this morning, the little guy reached out and grabbed his toes. I'd introduced him to them before, but this is the first time he grabbed them on his own.

This is a baby step, sure. But we're still proud. ;)

Bath time with Nico!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert, Connie and Nico) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:02:00 +0000

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.
