Here are pictures from New Year’s Eve. Nicholas still wasn’t feeling too great on New Year’s so we just stayed in and had a pretty low-key night. He was walking around a bit more than usual. My parents left on New Year’s Day. We had another nice visit :0) Nick is really starting to recognize and remember his grandparents and uncle (He better be, he saw them almost every month his first year!!). You can tell he really loves them :0) He and Jackson would wait at the window for everyone to come over each morning. Then, Nicholas had the tough decision of who he wanted to have pick him up first. Once he decided, he would crawl or walk over to "the chosen one" and put his arms up. He loved to be passed around and show off for everyone. He started a new screeching thing (kinda like a Howler Monkey…haha) while my family was out. John and I got to go out to the movies a few nights with my brother while my parents babysat. It was weird to be out without Nicholas and to actually see a movie in the theatres. I could really get used to that :0)
Nick has started trying new foods. His favorite things so far are pizza and hush puppies. Very interesting choices aren’t they? Nicholas picked up another new talent…being able to make himself throw up when he doesn’t like a new food! He threw up almost every night when we went to dinner. It was fabulous. Nothing better than a baby vomiting at the table while you are eating!! I have cleaning him and the table up down to a real science now. I checked with the doctor and he said that babies often do that when transitioning to “table foods” and that he’d grow out of it. We thought that Nick wasn’t sick anymore, just not enjoying his new foods. Then, he started showing other signs of being sick again on Friday. He’s got a fever and his throwing up. Every time it seems that he is better, he throws up. He especially loves to do it in restaurants, just ask our friends Shauna & Abby!!! I don’t even want to speculate about another hospital visit this time…remember what happened last time I did that!? Anyway, I spend my entire day holding Nicholas while he sleeps, cries, and vomits. I hope that he will be back to his normal self soon (although I am not sure when that will happen…I don’t know if he has ever fully recovered from the first time this happened back in early November!!). It is so sad to see him so sad and sick.

John started his new job at Spillman, Inc. last Tuesday. So far he likes it a lot. He is on the fire department team. He will be making software that firefighters all across the country use. Seems pretty interesting. Spillman is 5 miles from our house (his last job was only 4 miles ;0) so he still gets to come home and have lunch with us. Nicholas loves to see his Daddy for lunch! Spillman seems to be a very family oriented company with lots of nice perks. My favorite being the use of the company condos in Anaheim and Bear Lake :0) We’ll update you on how we are all doing soon.
