Happy 5 months, Nico!

Nico-man is 5 months old today. It's so hard to believe. In some ways it seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital, but in other ways it seems like we've always had him. There's no doubt he's the greatest thing John and I have ever done. Being a parent is definitely an awesome thing. And to think, my parents felt this same way about me so many years ago. (Hopefully they still do!)

Nico's recently found his toes! His feet are his new favorite toy. I was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to play with them, but I guess when you've got a big Buddha belly and fluffy cloth diaper bum, it's pretty hard to get your feet up that high. But he's figured it out. Now as soon as the diaper comes off, his feet head straight to his mouth.

Later we took the overalls and shirt off and it was MUCH easier!


Oh, Nico also applied for his very first passport today! We should get it in time for our Canada trip this summer. (Crazy you have to have a passport for Canada these days.) I must say, his passport photo turned out quite cute. But what else would you expect?
