Tony, Jennifer, and Nicholas

Nick is such a copycat! Once he saw his Daddy in this chair he decided it was now his chair and he sits (for a second) in the chair... rolls out .. runs around and comes back to sit for a brief moment. He plays hard... and rests hard...

Climb Every Mountain....

So Nick's new thing is climbing on top of everything, up everything, and just trying to go head first off of everything! He hasn't fell on top of his head... yet, but he sure is trying hard. One of his favorite things to play with is his cardboard box.

Happy Birthday to ME!

I know that my birthday was last week... but I thought I'd share some things. When I was a baby my parents had my photo taken by Tom Carter (popular local photographer). He is quite expensive and they got only a few photos. He entered one of the photos that he had taken in a contest and won with my picture. My grandparents and parents had tried to purchase the portrait, but he wanted quite an amount for it.... SO they didn't buy the picture. I have often wondered over the years if he still had the picture at his studio. I have mentioned it from time to time. Long story short - Tony gave me the photo for my birthday! I was so shocked and surprised! I would have never guessed that he had gotten it from Mr. Carter. How thoughtful!So... when I was in kindergarten, my teacher (Ms. Mitchell) would let us go in the prize chest and she had books by Roger Hargreaves. I loved to get these little books... ANYWHO years later, Amy and I are in a local store (Polka Dots) and I come across them again.... only they are 4 bucks a piece and the chency person I am won't splurge on them... fast forward a little later and there is a HUGE fire in downtown Milton... ruins many of the businesses and causes much smoke damage. Polka Dots has many items on sale due to smoke damage etc. and Amy happens upon the books! She buys them and gives them to me for my birthday. How sweet is that? Not only are they books I LOVE, but they have some historical memories to them as well. They are stained from the smoke of the fire. The cover of the books was white and now are discolored. They have a great little story behind them:o) Thank you Amy! I love my books:o)
So I had thought my mother in law had gotten me one arm weight when I was unwrapping my gift... but no it was a vase! A waterford crystal vase. It is VERY heavy. I am going to buy a couple of Knockout Roses with some of the cashola given to me from my Mom, Mawmaw Blocker, and Al and Betty and then I will have fresh roses in my vase!

Vroooom!!!
So the Daytona 500 was rained out and what else was there to watch? Nick decided we were going to watch Cars. Don't know if many of you adults have seen it, but it is a really cute movie and he LOVES it! He shared his goldfish with Precious... yeah they are pretty tight now.. she loves him. I don't know why I was ever SO worried about how they'd get along. She is a good big sister!

After CARS was over, Tony shared with us that he can get online with our television. Yes, our tv screen is the computer screen. So Nick could see himself and he really liked that. I don't really know how it works... I think he used the playstation? Not sure!

2009-02-15T16:33:00.000-08:00

Nick's new thing is eating cheese from the can on crackers. He learned this from his Papa. His Papa squirts the cheese in his mouth... it's really cute. I haven't mastered that just yet, so I put it on the cracker and Nick LOVES it!

Nick likes to wear hats... especially his Daddy's hat.

2009-02-15T16:29:00.000-08:00

Nick likes to feed himself... He likes to feed himself Spaghetti....
and cheesy crackers
He is serious about his food...

....and when he's finished eating, it's time for a bath!

2009-02-15T16:27:00.000-08:00

Nick LOVES his little hat that he got from Debby Lewis (D-Ma)... Isn't it cute? It was actually cold enough for him to wear it quite a few times this year.

2009-02-15T16:24:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday, Tony! We got back from Texas in time to Celebrate his birthday. I made him an ice cream cake that looked like a poker chip.

Nick had fun playing with the bow from Tony's present.

Daniel, Amy, Lilli, and Lynda came over to celebrate!

2009-02-15T15:54:00.000-08:00

We went to my cousin's wedding in Texas recently. This was Nick's second wedding. It was probably the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended and I had the most fun on our trip. I enjoyed getting to know Liezel's (Jayson's wife) family. It was like 30 degrees on Thursday and then all of the sudden it was 65ish and sunny on Friday (they were married on a Friday). It was meant to be!

Isn't she pretty? Liezel is the sweetest person... I am so happy that she is a part of our family.

Me and Becky having fun at the reception...

Ethan, Zack, and Jarod

Justin was really cute giving his speech when it was time to toast...

Liezel's matron of honor gave a good speech as well... She was quite the comedian. I enjoyed meeting her and her husband.

Here's my two favorite guys! Aren't they handsome?

My little guy was sweet enough to dance with his Mommy. He was such a good little sport on our trip.

2009-02-15T15:48:00.000-08:00

Alyssa and Alexis came over for a play date at the end of January. We had McDonald's for lunch. The kids enjoyed their burgers, fries, and nuggets:o) It was a special treat!

2009-02-15T15:30:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday!

Nick's Papa surprised him with a set of golf clubs for his birthday. It won't be long before he will be able to play. He has practiced putting a little in our living room. As he gets taller, the shaft on his clubs extend. Isn't that cool? He has a wedge, putter, and 5 wood. It came with a matching bag.

They are really nice!

I made Nick a Monkey cake for his birthday. This is the first time that I've made a cake and there were NO leftovers!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Nicholas!!!

Nick had fun opening his presents at his party. He had some help from his friends. He's not a pro just yet... He liked playing with the tissue paper.

He is a pro at eating cake!

I know.... It's been so long since I've updated that I've done the birthday pictures backwards!

Abigail, Karmen, and Alyssa

2009-02-15T15:26:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!!! It's 2009....

Tony and Dan went to LA and bought some fireworks.... REAL nice fireworks! Kevin, Tina, and girls came over and rang in the new year with us. We all had a great time!

2009-02-15T15:16:00.000-08:00

Yummy Cookies!

Alyssa came over and made cookies with me. They were homeade... not out of the package. We had a great time!

2009-02-15T15:00:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas!

Nick's first visit with Santa went well. He told Santa that he was a good boy this year!

Nick got a red wagon and really didn't want a thing to do with it. We think it's because he isn't into being confined in any one area. Lilli had fun with it though...
Uncle Dan had a special present for Nick and Lilli that was such a secret... no one knew about what he had gotten for the little ones. It's Red Ryder BB Guns!

Yummy!

For Christmas Dinner I cooked a Turkey, we had homeade dressing, brocolli casserole (Amy made it and I ate ALL that was leftover!), Sweet Potato, corn, and rolls.

Nick and Lilli enjoyed sharing toys.

The pictures below are from Christmas Day morning... Nick really liked his

Go Baby Go! Crawl and Cruise Musical Jungle.

Once he started playing with it he didn't want to stop!

Christmas morning family photo:o)

2009-02-15T14:48:00.000-08:00

Nick's Uncle Wayne and Aunt Angie got him a microphone for Christmas. He enjoyed singing Christmas songs to everyone:o)

We went to MawMaw Day's Christmas Eve and saw Alyssa, Alexis, and Dad. All of the kids had a great time opening presents. Alyssa made a present train on the floor... It was too cute!

2009-02-15T14:36:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving 2008

2009-02-15T14:28:00.000-08:00

This is Nick's sleepy suit that we got him back at the beginning of November.

Nick back in October of 2008... when he still fit in his rainforest bounceroo:o) It's amazing how fast time goes by...

2008-10-29T16:42:00.000-07:00

One of Nick's hobbies is playing in the dirt.

Nick's favorite book is The Wonder Pets.

Nick LOVES brushing his teeth. I'm sure it feels good on his gums since he's teething.

Nick had fun watching Uncle Ethan play football. He was so good during the games... he got a lot of attention too!

2008-09-24T10:49:00.000-07:00

First trip to the park...
We recently took the kids to the park for the first time. They had a great time feeding the ducks. I didnt' think Nick would be big enough to get in the swing, but I was wrong... He is growing up so fast! Here he is swinging in the little baby swings. Isn't he cute???

They had fun on the slide...
Lilli loved the swings, too!
Nick wasn't too sure about some of the faces Lilli was making while on the swings...

What a Great Time...

2008-09-24T10:45:00.000-07:00

Yeah.... I know I'm cute!!!
Isn't Lilli the cutest little thing??? She is the most photogenic baby I know. Amy took this picture of her not long ago out in our front yard. I just had to share:)

2008-07-10T20:20:00.000-07:00

The Snooze Zone....
After partying at the park... the little ones decided to take a nap. We had a great time! The food was delicious and it was nice to see Amy's family.

2008-07-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

Fun at Maw Maw Day's House...

This past Sunday we went to visit Maw Maw Day and Lilli got to come over and play while Amy and Daniel got everything ready for her brother's Welcome Home Party at the park. It was so much fun! They both roll all over the place, so it kept me on my toes.

Nick wanted to have a Ba Ba.... and so did Miss Lilli...

Nick was being a bit fussy... and Miss Lilli was there to lend a hand and calm him down...

Lilli showed us one of her new tricks. She can sit up all by herself!

We had to rest and watch Spongebob Squarepants....

And all of a sudden Lilli said, "Oh, No...what is Nick doing!"

He isn't supposed to be over there! He'd decided to get a closer view of the television...

Lilli got bored and decided to show Nick her fancy football moves...

2008-07-10T19:16:00.000-07:00

Oh, Yeah... I can hold my own Ba Ba now!

2008-07-10T19:06:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July!
Nick ate bananas for the first time on the fourth of July... He really likes them. We went to my Mom's house for a cookout/shrimp boil. It was all delicious:) We were able to get a family photo...We have a delay on our camera, so Tony was able to jump in the picture just in time. We had a great time!

2008-07-01T19:41:00.000-07:00

Da Braves....
Nick and his Uncle Zack are discussing baseball... They were watching the Braves game. Nick recieved all the attention a baby could want this weekend. It was a house full of guys with Nick's Papa (Buddy), Ethan, Zack, and their friends. The boys were all so helpful carrying all Nick's accessories into the house for us. The main item being his "Superman Chamber"...that's what we call the AmbyBed (where he sleeps). He sleeps 9 or more hours EVERY night. Tony was out of town this past weekend, so we spent the weekend with my Mom. We also got to see Mawmaw Day, GG Ma and GG Pa (Blocker's), Uncle Dan, Aunt Amy, and Cousin Lilli. Precious came with us on our little trip to Milton. She was excited to come along.

2008-07-01T19:32:00.000-07:00

Meeting Uncle Tim and Aunt Deb...
Uncle Tim (Lynda's brother) and Aunt Deb stopped by to visit last night. This was Nick's first time meeting them. Nick had fun showing off his many toys.

2008-07-01T17:19:00.000-07:00

Jumperoo!

Nick loves his new Jumperoo that he got from his Grandma Day (Tony's Mom). It plays music and makes animal sounds each time he jumps. The thing he's looking at in the pictures lights up, too. He likes anything that flashes or makes sounds....
There are also things to chew on....
There are buttons to press....

2008-06-26T12:03:00.000-07:00

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy...I've got green beans in my tummy...
Nick's tummy didn't seem to like the rice cereal that much...so we decided to try some green beans grown in Grandpa Day's garden. We picked them a while back and put them in the freezer. Yesterday I cooked them, made baby food out of them by putting them in the food processor, then I put it in ice cube trays and into the freezer. The servings are about 1 and a half tablespoons. I also made zuchinni squash and yello squash into baby food. It was FUN!

2008-06-22T14:05:00.000-07:00

Fun in the Sun!!!
Last Tuesday I went to Destin to see Susan, Seth, and Setler. Seth's family has been coming down to Destin every summer for 30+ years! I had a wonderful time visiting with my cousins and the Mulhearn family. Susan cooked an awesome crab casserole and Seth cooked some of the best hamburgers. Since the drive is a little longer than I remember, it was suggested that we spend the night... and we did! Nick slept in the bed with me and Susan. It's the first time he's slept in an adult bed... but he did fine. He even flipped over and slept on his tummy!
Susan, Setler, Nick and me

Nick could be found down at the beach looking at the chicks...

2008-06-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

Happy First Father's Day!!!Tony played golf with his Dad, Daniel, and Shayne that morning. We ate dinner at Al's that night. Tony cooked crawfish and Al made fried shrimp/chicken and broiled shrimp. I ate like a little piggy:) It was all very yummy... I forgot to take pictures over there, but did when we got home.
While we were getting Nick ready for bed...look what we caught him doing. He can now put his foot in his mouth!

2008-06-22T13:56:00.000-07:00

Nick's First Trip to the Beach...
On June 14th, Nick had his first beach adventure. He had a good time! He didn't know what to think of the water though.

2008-06-22T13:50:00.000-07:00

Ripley's Aquarium...

On Thursday we went to the aquarium. Nick loved looking at the fish! This was also his first time riding in a big boy stroller. It was too hot for the Bjorn and he is getting really heavy! So we forked out the 25 bucks on this little stroller. It was worth it! He seemed to be happy riding all over the place...

Lilli, Kayla, Nick, and Dylan at the aquarium

Nick and Tony watching TV in our room. Nick also enjoyed his bath in the jacuzzi each night...no pics though!

2008-06-22T13:37:00.001-07:00

Dixie Stampede...
Nick really enjoyed watching the horses and performers at the Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge. We had a great time! He watched for a while... took a nap... and then watched some more...

Gatlinburg....

Earlier in the day we went to Gatlinburg. It was pretty hot, so Tony and Nick decided to get something to drink...
Yes, I rode the skylift. It wasn't as bad as I thought and the views from the top were worth the ride.

Uncle Mike, Dylan, Kayla, and Shayne also rode the skylift.
Here's a view of Gatlinburg on the way back down...

2008-06-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

Drive to Cherokee... On the way to Cherokee we stopped and took some photos at different places. There were some really nice views on the way up. Nick was sleeping while we made this particular stop. Jennifer, Amy, and Lilli
Grrrrr!!! Dylan and a Big Black Bear
Smile!!! Day family photo...
Nick and Lilli pose for a picture...

The scenery was beautiful!

Dan and Tony

2008-06-22T13:18:00.000-07:00

Don't these two look very similar??? The first picture is Dylan and the second one is Nicholas.

2008-06-22T13:00:00.000-07:00

Our Cabin... Here is a picture of where we stayed. There was plenty of room! It was 3 stories though, and our room was on the third story. We had a great time:)

Cabin Pet... Every night something kept getting into the garbage on the back porch. The garbage was kept in a plastic cans inside a little utility shed on the back porch that had to be closed with a latch. Daniel even put a chair in front of the door of the shed and the racoon moved the chair over and opened the latch! It was glad to pose for pictures... Amy took quite a few pictures and it sat there and posed like it was a celebrity. It was HUGE!

Drive through Cades Cove... On one of our stops we saw this old church... it reminded me of the one on Little House.

We also stopped at an old house that had a barn and two other small sheds. This is where we saw the bear track! This butterfly kept landing on Dylan and then it flew over to be friends with Dan.

Honk, Honk, Honk!!! We all had such a wonderful time going through the tunnels that were in the mountain. We honked the horn the whole way through the tunnel. Everyone else was honking, too! That's Christine up in front going through the tunnel.

Say Cheese! We stopped at this little area where people were swimming. I got a picture of this guy jumping into the water below.

2008-06-10T21:02:00.000-07:00

Bear Tracks!!!

On our adventures day before yesterday we saw some bear tracks!

What a cute baby!!!

Nick is such a great traveler... on one of our many stops of the day he was caught posing for a picture.

And after we saw bear tracks....

Shayne spotted this black bear taking a siesta in the woods.... It was really cool to see a bear out in the wild. Amy has a picture that is clearer than this one that I'll post later on...

We ate dinner at Corky's (awesome ribs!)

Lilli and Nick enjoyed taking a ride on the little piggy after dinner.

What a cute baby!!!

Lilli can sit up all by herself! (almost) We have seen some really beautiful sites while here in the mountains.

Little House on the Prairie???

I know that there are mountains in the background... but everything else about this location reminded me of what it looks like in the beginning of the show when Laura is running through the field...

Deer!!!

So cute!

Lilli has a new carseat cover and she loves it! It even has her name at the top:)

2008-06-08T20:19:00.000-07:00

Nick's first night in a hotel...
We didn't leave without the AmbyBed. He LOVES sleeping in it:) He enjoyed the stay at the hotel in Birmingham on the way up to Tennessee. It was nice to split the drive into two days.

2008-06-08T18:51:00.000-07:00

Precious is Jealous..... I guess since she's used to being our baby she decided to try Nick's rice cereal... She finished off what was left of his breakfast! I actually caught her in the act...

2008-06-05T21:38:00.000-07:00

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I got real food in my Tummy!!!

Nick has been eating 35 - 40 oz of formula each day and recently he has really become interested in watching us eat and drink. He's even tried to get ahold of my Sunkist. Well this afternoon he had a Bah Bah and after an hour and a half he was extremely fussy (which isn't the norm) he had another 6 ounces and acted like he was a starving child! It's happened quite a few times in the past week and we were really trying to hold off on cereal until we returned from Tennessee....but as everyone knows ... things don't always go as planned. So tonight (after much research of course) we decided to let the little guy try out cereal. I just knew it would end up all over me, but he actually seemed to enjoy eating and even liked holding the spoon all by himself. I was really amazed at how he ate the cereal and didn't spit it back at me. Then it was time for bed....I tried to rock him in the glider, but he wasn't having that...so I put him in the amby bed (thinking that he would somehow feel bad for pitching a little fit in my arms) but to my surprise he got quiet and went right to sleep! I feel like he is growing up WAY too fast for me....

2008-06-05T09:36:00.000-07:00

Tennessee Here We Come!!!
We will be leaving for Tennessee tomorrow when Tony gets home from work. We're going with Uncle Mike, Aunt Kathi, Shayne, Christine, Kayla, Dylan, Daniel, Amy, and Miss Lilli:) I am SO excited! We're all staying in a cabin near Pigeon Forge. I'll try to update while we're up there.... but chances are it will be when we get back. I always have the best of intentions, but get wrapped up in other things and it doesn't get done...

2008-06-05T09:05:00.000-07:00

The Ladies Man....
What a little flirt... Yesterday we went out for lunch with Danielle, Cheryl (Danielle's Mom), and Allie. Danielle treated me to lunch at Norma's (which has the best chicken salad and bread pudding!). After lunch we shopped a little and Danielle watched Nick for me so I could try on a few things.. I got some great deals on some shirts and a jacket for winter...can't pass up a cool jacket for $9.99! It was a great day. Nick LOVED Allie! I have never seen him giggle and smile so much. It was so cute:) Here he is looking at her and making goo-goo eyes. I didn't update after Nick had his 4 month check-up. He was 14.1 pounds (in the 28th percentile for weight), 26 inches long (80th percentile for height), and his head measured 17 3/4 inches (95th percentile for head circumference...). He is now rolling over...and then rolls some more! He was just rolling from back to stomach, but now he rolls and rolls over again! He has also found his toes. It's so cute:)

Is That a Security Guard on a Segway????

I could not belive my eyes when I saw this security guard on a segway in the mall... He was not a day over 20 and yes that is a bicycle helmet on his head... We walked around until I could finally snap a shot of him! I couldn't get over him riding around on that thing in the mall... Had to take a picture to share... Do other places have little guys like this in their malls or is it just here in Pensacola???

2008-05-26T19:17:00.000-07:00

Lilli is a GREAT teacher!!!

Lilli was over here Friday rolling all over the place.... Okay...so I knew Nick would be rolling over soon... but didn't think he would be rolling over today. Last night he kept going from side to side, so I knew it was not going to be long before it was going to happen. He goes from back to stomach...and then tries to crawl. He knows what to do with his legs, but isn't quite sure what to do with his arms. I guess Lilli gave him a crash course on rolling when she was over here on Friday....

2008-05-25T20:26:00.000-07:00

Baby LOVES to shop....

We've had a pretty busy weekend so far....mainly doing stuff around the house. With gas prices as high as they are, staying around the house seemed to be the thing to do. This afternoon we went to Target with Grandma Day (Tony's Mom) and Nick got some sunglasses...not just one pair, but two pairs of sunglasses... He actually wears them! He was a sweet baby while we were in the store. He's a good little shopper. We also picked out some bathroom accessories for his bathroom. We're going with an ocean theme. Who knows how long that will take.... (it's wallpaper right now... and it is going to be painted some sort of blue).

2008-05-25T20:14:00.000-07:00

Bath time is Fun, Fun, Fun....
Nick tries to drink the water while taking a bath. He puts everything in his mouth these days.

Rubber Ducky...Rubber Ducky...

I think one of Nick's favorite things is taking a bath. He would stay in the water forever if you'd let him. He now sits in his little tub since he's getting to be a big boy. It had a safety net thing in it that he layed in when he would lay down...now he wants to sit up all of the time, so we took it out and he sits up like a big boy!

2008-05-25T20:02:00.000-07:00

It's always more fun....to share...with everyone....

Sharing is Fun!

Nick's cousin Lilli came over on Friday. They had a Great time playing together. Lilli tried to teach Nick how to roll all over the place... but he isn't quite ready yet. Lilli rolls ALL over the place and it is so cute! Precious didn't know what to think about having TWO babies in the house:)

2008-05-20T22:45:00.000-07:00

Sir Elton John...

Tony surprised me with tickets to the Elton John concert for our anniversary. We were on the 6th row on the floor. It's the only concert that I have really wanted to go to...I was very excited...and then it got canceled! It was rescheduled and we were able to go. Pensacola was his last stop on his tour. It was the best concert and I would go back to see him again:) He played all of my favorite songs.

EVERYONE had their camera except for us... luckily a woman let Amy use her camera and then forwarded the pics on to Amy, who then forwarded them to me... so here is some of those pictures:)

He played for 2 and a half hours with one 5 min. break... My favorite song is "Your Song" and I kept waiting and waiting for him to play it... well he saved it for last! It was beautiful. We had a wonderful time.

2008-05-20T11:57:00.000-07:00

Happy Prom!!!
Ethan had his Prom this past Saturday night. Here he is with his date, Megan.
Don't they look great?

2008-05-20T10:43:00.000-07:00

The more bubbles the better....
Nick recently had his first bubble bath with his Daddy. One of Nick's favorite things is to take a bath. I decided to get a couple pictures of them playing in the bubbles. I printed out some of the pictures for Mother's Day gifts.

Happy First Mother's Day to me!!!
Here are some of the other pictures I took and printed out for Mother's Day. It was hard to decided which ones to frame... I thought they all turned out well. Isn't he a cutie?

We went to my Mom's on Mother's Day. We all had fun playing Rock Band. Mom and I took turns singing while Jeff, Zack, and Ethan played the music. Nick ate...and took a nap. Nick had fun playing with his Papa...

Mom had all of her kidos with her on Mother's Day.

At the end of the day Nick was exhausted!

2008-05-20T10:35:00.000-07:00

Jump! Jump!....
Nick has been in his jump-in-go several times...he likes to see everything that's going on around him.

2008-05-20T09:41:00.000-07:00

Nick's first big adventure!
May the first, Nick and I took a trip with Al and Betty (Tony's Dad and Stepmom) to Hudson, FL, which is North of St. Petersburg, to see our S. Florida Day family. This was Nick's first Big Trip! I was worried how he would do... but should have known everything would go fine:) We had a Wonderful time. It was nice to get out of the house and have a change of scenery.
Nick did GREAT on the way down and back. he enjoyed looking out the window at the things passing by...
Then he was ready for a nap! He is a great traveler...

Nick's with his cousins Brayden, Logan, and Dylan.
Here is Amy (Tony's cousin Sean's wife) and their son Logan.
Nick had a great time!

It was a real vacation for me... everyone wanted to hold/feed/change Mr. Nick.. Here he is with Christine...
with Kayla...
with Uncle Mike...
Nick with Shayne...

I wanna go fast!!!

Nick really enjoyed taking a ride on the golf cart with his Grandpa Day, Dylan, and Kayla... He loves to be outside. The weather was wonderful while we were down there.

Here's Nick and his Great-Grandma Day.
Nick learned about a few new cartoons from his cousin Dylan... He now likes to watch Diego and the Backyardigans... I like to watch the Wonder Pets... It won't be long and Nick will be chasing Dylan around!

2008-05-20T09:37:00.000-07:00

Sweet Dreams....
Here's Nick in his Amby Bed... He usually wakes up laughing and in a really good mood... I thought I'd snap a picture of him one morning. This was back in April.

Time for a Nap...

Precious loves her baby brother. She's very protective of him. I think she thinks he's her baby sometimes.

Happy Birthday, Alyssa!!!

The cake was YUMMY... it was an ice cream cake. Alyssa turned four this year.
One of her favorite things was the bubble blower... She played in the yard witht he bubbles for a long time! I also had fun playing in the bubbles.

2008-03-03T09:44:00.000-08:00

I love this picture! My sister-in-law, Amy took this one of me and Nick back in February. I don't have too many pics of us since I'm usually taking them.

Nick's First Valentine's Day!
Nicholas got his little bib from his Aunt Farris and his Uncle Marvin from Mississippi.

2008-02-10T16:36:00.000-08:00

Last night we went to Daniel and Amy's to celebrate Danny's birthday. Here's Nick with his cousin Lilli:) They are too cute!

2008-02-10T16:30:00.000-08:00

Snoozin'....

I thought this was the cutest moment! Tony and Mr. Nick were catching some Z's yesterday morning... Nick's Nana, Aunt Katie, and Uncle Jody came by to visit and brought us lunch later on during the day. Nana had a scale that showed the ounces, so we were able to see how much weight Nick's gained and he is now 9 pounds 2 ounces!

2008-02-10T16:23:00.000-08:00

On Feb. 5th, Nick slept in his own room for the first time. It's actually going better than I thought it would. For the first couple nights he wanted to stay awake for about an hour and a half around 2 am... but the past couple nights he has went back to sleep after having his bottle (which made me a happy Momma).

2008-02-10T16:12:00.000-08:00

Nick loves playing on his little Baby Einstein gym. He is growing so fast! This was taken on Feb. 6th... We're working on keeping him awake more during the day so he'll sleep better at night.

2008-02-10T16:08:00.000-08:00

Uncle Marvin, Aunt Farris, and Jackie stopped by on their way back to Mississippi. It was nice to see them.

2008-02-10T16:03:00.000-08:00

I Love Football...
Nicholas enjoyed watching his first SuperBowl with his Daddy.

2008-02-10T15:57:00.001-08:00

Nick has so many people who love him:)

2008-02-10T15:41:00.000-08:00

We LOVE storytime:) Nick really enjoyed his first story.

2008-02-10T15:34:00.000-08:00

Here is Nicholas at two weeks old. He weighed 7 lbs and 14 ounces on his two week visit today.

2008-02-10T15:23:00.000-08:00

Nicholas LOVES his nursery. Here are some pictures of his room... see if you can find the little monkey in the crib:)

2008-02-10T15:14:00.000-08:00

Nicholas learned to suck his thumb right away! Probably because he was hungry! Breast feeding didn't exactly work out for him. He didn't want anything to do with it and lost 11 ounces before we left the hospital... needless to say I am pumping and putting the milk in a bottle for him... do you think he'll be spoiled??? I say he's pretty smart!

Here we are on the day that we were able to go home. We were in the hospital from Tuesday until Sunday. We were REALLY ready to get home.

2008-02-10T15:01:00.001-08:00

On January 15th, we went to the doctor and she admitted me to the hospital because my blood pressure had gotten higher each week and since I was already OVER due... she decided that it would be a good idea to get things going. On Wednesday, I had contractions all day and finally my water broke at about 5pm. I was dilated 5 cm at that point. Thursday morning I got my epidural and that afternoon we started to push... after a couple hours of pushing and no progress... and his heart decelerating twice (on the last two pushes)... they decided that we needed to have a c-section. At 5:15 we headed off for surgery and at 5:37 pm on January 17th... Nicholas Anthony Day was born! He weighed 7 lbs. 11 ounces and was 21 inches long.

I had so much fun at my baby shower this weekend. The food was so delicious and we received so many wonderful gifts that will get plenty of use in a couple of months. Here are some pictures of some things that we got. Mom bought him a Baby Papsan cradle swing that we've heard is a must have, Mama bought him a silver bowl and spoon by Arthur Court, Danielle bought me a very stylish Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag, he has a wipe warmer so his wipes are nice and warm when he needs to be changed, a convertable high chair, Waterfall Peek-a-Boo soother for the crib, little toys, Frog Pod for the bathtub and a police man rubber ducky, diapers, wipes, on-the-go wash clothes, travel pack of J & J, Boudreaux's Butt paste, blankets, mirror for the backseat, baby slippers, clothes, Tag-a-Long Trio toy for the stroller... Do you think he's going to be spoiled??? I am ready for him to get here so we can try out some of these wonderful gifts!

My best friend Danielle, her mother Cheryl, and my sister-in-law Amy gave me a wonderful shower yesterday. Our little boy got so many wonderful things! Tony and I are VERY excited about our new little addition coming this January. No name just yet... we are working on it though... It's a tough decision when you know that this is something he'll have to have the rest of his life... so we'll let you know when we decide:)

2007-07-27T10:46:00.001-07:00

We the best waiter (Dennis) on this cruise. He made dinner fun for the whole group. We were able to all sit by each other each night, which was really convenient. The food was really good too! I don't think we missed dinner at all. I remember one time we were really in a hurry to get back to the boat in time for dinner. That never happened on any of the other cruises we've been on....

2007-07-27T10:16:00.001-07:00

Danny and Amy came on the cruise too! I can't wait to have vacations with our little bundles of Joy:)
Disney World isn't too far away....

Here's Funship Freddy with Dylan and Kayla.

This picture shows how we carried all our luggage down to and back from the cruise ship. We all loaded our things on a trailer and Uncle Don's son took a load of us and the rest rode with Uncle Kenny. It was an adventure! We didn't loose a thing! It was all cable tied down.

2007-07-27T10:08:00.001-07:00

We took a van down to a beach in Cozumel that was really nice. I was a little scared to venture off, but who would mess with a bunch like us???
The beach was nice, the food and drinks were great, and the driver stayed with us the whole time.

2007-07-27T09:56:00.001-07:00

Tony and Uncle Mike enjoyed a refreshing drink from Carlos and Charlie's....

And all Dylan got was a new golf ball:)

Merry Christmas!!!
We hope everyone had a great one. We really enjoyed spending time with all of our family and friends.

2006-12-27T13:41:00.000-08:00

Is that the Little Mermaid?? No, It's Alyssa!! We got her a little mermaid outfit with the matching shoes. I know that the little mermaid doesn't have a wand...but I liked it anyways! She had a ball playing with the train that goes around the tree. She knew how to run the controls in no time at all! I thought I had gotten a picture...but I must have forgotten. She is so smart!

Katie put together the baby's stroller for Alyssa. We had fun watching her play with her toys.

2006-12-27T13:36:00.000-08:00

Jeffery, Alyssa, and Amy

Alyssa and her Aunt Katie. Alyssa is such a Ham!! She loves to get her picture taken and then look at it on the camera.

2006-12-27T13:28:00.000-08:00

Alyssa really enjoyed opening up presents at my Dad's house on Christmas Eve.

Alyssa really liked her baby doll! She also got a stroller to go along with it.

Happy Anniversary!!!

My grandparents recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great dinner together at Red Lobster in Pensacola. My Uncle Jay and his family (wife Mary, boys - Jayson, Justin, and Jarod) were able to come in a little early to celebrate. My Uncle Wayne and Aunt Angie were also here at the dinner. One of the waiters was nice enought to take pictures for us.

Isn't she Precious??
I know, that's her name. She is very photogenic though! Okay, I did steal this idea from my cousin Somer. She emailed me some cute pictures of their little Vivian and I got the idea from her. I don't know who had more fun, me taking the pictures, or her enjoying all of the attention!

2006-11-26T13:08:00.000-08:00

Precious had a ton of fun playing outside this weekend.

YUMMY!!!
This was all that was left after we were finished with lunch on Saturday. I forgot to take a picture before we ate! We also had fried shrimp, hush puppies, cole slaw, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. Betty made the pies and slaw. We were all stuffed at the end of the day!

2006-11-26T12:54:00.000-08:00

I had fun playing with Alyssa. She loved getting her picture taken and then looking at them on my camera. She figured out how to scroll through the camera and look at all of the pictures.

Yummy! Mom cooked a great meal at her house. This was our second stop on Thanksgiving Day. We had turkey, honey baked ham that Buddy bought (it was awesome!), dressing and dumlings that Mama Blocker made, and Mom made shrimp dip that went with crackers. There was alot of food. We had fun visiting with everyone.
