Smell my feet

We smell Niko's feet and then tell him they stink. He loves it when we do this. When we change his diaper, we smell his feet. It's a running joke we have with him.

We catch him smelling his own feet from time to time. He does it a lot in the car when we drive home. Here he is doing it in the living room.

Brobee costume

I found this Brobee costume on Craigslist yesterday.  I planned on making Niko a Brobee costume, but I found this for only $10.  I can't even buy the fabric for $10!  Neil is going to be DJ Lance Rock for Halloween this year... but I think I need to find Niko a bigger size... the 2T just fits him now.

I love Craigslist... I just need to find another Brobee in a size 4T now...  I will be making Neil's costume when I get my sewing room put together... right now it's a room with boxes.  Neil and Niko will be wearing these costumes to the Comic-Con this coming year... I need to figure out what I'm going to be!

Kitchen fun

Time to put away the condiments.

Now let's close the door.

Finally, let's wash the dishes.

The kitchen is still a big hit.  He loves playing with it when I am in the kitchen.  He likes it when you smell his cooking - he will chase you down to smell it.

First sled ride

Our new house has a nice little hill perfect for sledding.  Our house has a walk-out basement so our yard slopes from the front to the back.

Good times!

We only went down the hill twice since the sled I bought is not very good.  I will be returning it and getting one that has a curved front.  Niko did have a good time... until the sled ran into the ground and he face planted... hence the need for a curved front sled.

Christmas 2009

Christmas eve photo.

First toy spotted.

LOVES the kitchen supply toys from Grandma & Grandpa Morris.... should have made them from me....

Rock star.

LOVES the Yo Gabba Gabba toys... I knew he would.

Cooking some pineapple.  Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Morris for the cookware!

We moved the kitchen into the kitchen so he can cook along side me.

Niko's first time in the snow.

He made it past the brick walk way....

He hated the fact that the snow got in his arms.... total time in the snow.... under 4 minutes.  It took longer for us to get him in his snow suit.

We spent Christmas day with the Abuelos... who Niko was happy to see.  He got tons of presents from them... including the baby couch he's stepping on in the photo.

We had a great Christmas... even though the snow stopped us from seeing Godfather Mark, Aunt Shelly and the Flooches.

Kitchen fixed and ready!

Niko's Christmas present is ready to go.  I got this kitchen from a certain job I have... and it was the right price... FREE.  (Thanks Godfather!)  I did have to do some minor repairs to it since it was a display model.  The microwave door was broken... I fixed it with some wood glue and toothpicks.  Good as new!

We are going to put in the the kitchen so Niko can cook with me.

Happy birthday, Daddy!

Neil turned 34 yesterday.  We had pumpkin cake... or frosting.  Depending who you ask.

We gave Daddy a paint-hand print that we framed for his new office.  I'll snap off a photo of it when he hangs it up.
