Nick's First Trip to the Zoo

I took Nicholas to the Zoo with some friends this week. Luckily, it was overcast and not too hot for our outing. Nick loved looking at all of the animals. He especially loved the giraffes :0) He was trying to grab them as they got close to him while they were eating. Nicholas just started kicking and laughing when the animals did anything. He also loved being outside. He just looked around and smiled at everything. It was tough to find a way to get pictures of Nick and the animals, but I think you’ll get the idea :0) We are going swimming today and to the Farm next week, so check back for some pictures of those outings soon.

Mommy & Daddy's Little Firecracker

We went to our friends Becky & Joe’s house for the 4th of July. We had a nice BBQ and Joe put on quite the fireworks display for us! They have 2 Dalmatians, so Nick spent most of his time laughing and trying to pet them. Nicholas loved the fireworks :0) I was surprised that he wasn’t afraid of the sounds. He just squealed and laughed as he watched them. He fell asleep during the fireworks show, but had a fun first 4th of July :0)

Daddy Trying to Feed Nicholas :0)

Here are some pictures from John trying to feed Nicholas yesterday. Nick’s high chair cover was in the wash, so John had to try to feed him in his bouncer. Nicholas is getting goofier and goofier by the day, so he was really hamming it up for his Daddy! It was pretty entertaining to watch :0) Of course, I took out the camera and started taking pictures for you all to enjoy!! I was finally able to get a pretty good shot of Nick's teeth :0)
