This is how we roll
For those of you who have children I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about here. Shopping has become quite a challenge with my active little boy. He no longer wants to sit in the cart, he wants to run around the store having fun. This is the only way I can get grocery shopping done now...
Playing in the playhouse
This afternoon we braved the cold outdoors to play a bit outside. Nick asked for my keys and this is what he did...

Not Nick related
Wanted to share a scrapping project I made for one of my friends (Ali). I hope she doesn't mind me sharing. I made this for her for her son's "birth" present.

My big boy
Well our almost 20 month old son has been transitioned to a big boy bed. We were at Levitz last week looking at beds when Nick climbed into every bed and went to the pillow and laid his head down and said "nigh nigh". We've been talking about transitioning him but this let us know that he was ready. Eddie's dad brought his old furniture up on Monday when Uncle Favian and Auntie Eva came to visit. We set it up in Nick's room and that night he wanted to go "nigh nigh" in there. We waited until Wednesday to try it out...
This is our first nap in our big boy bed...
We returned the original bedding we bought (Hawaiian) and bought him a Cars themed bed set. Here's his new room...
His old baby room:
Bob the Builder
Grandpa Ed bought Nicholas a Bob the Builder lego set last year for Christmas. We decided to start letting him play with it since he likes putting things together and taking them apart. He looks so grown up playing with his big boy toys...he has also developed a very cheesy grin for pictures...

Picture perfect
Eddie and Nick like to build with the blocks. Actually it's more of Eddie building and Nick destroying. The other day Eddie built Nick a frame and taught him how to be "picture perfect"!
Cheese
Nicholas is almost always smiling...exept when the camera comes out. I've been working on getting him to say "cheese" for the camera...
Sorry I've been slacking...
The Saturday before Halloween my mom and I took Nick to Brentwood's Hometown Halloween. Basically a bunch of business' set up booths and hand out candy. There is an absolutely insane amount of people there and it was nuts! Nick had his first "pop pop" (lollipop) and had a tummy ache the next day.
The funniest thing of the evening was the "hot dog"
On actual Halloween, Eddie brought Nick to the office to trick-or-treat and to the neighbors houses. We put him in his costume and sat on the front porch and let him hand out candy until it was time for bed. He didn't want to go to bed and kept saying "trick or treat" while we were rocking...

Finger painting
Yesterday we bought Nick some finger paints with the intention of letting Nick paint his pumpkin. We got out all the paints and he was intrigued for about 30 seconds. Eddie and I sat and finger painted hoping to catch his eye to come over. After about 20 min we decided it would be more fun to paint Nick.
Here is out little work of art...

Pumpkins pumpkins, everywhere pumpkins
Last week we went to the pumpkin patch with my mom. A great time was had by all. Nicholas definitely enjoyed it this year more than last year. We went to a singalong, saw animals, road the tractor and got to look for all our pumpkins.
Nicholas and I chased eachother around the little hay maze...
The obligatory family pic...
but daddy the pumpkins down here look much better...
So I really wanted "perfect" pumpkins and kept trying to convince Nick of the pumpkin he should bring home. Unfortunately or fortunately he had other plans. I told him going in that he could pick out his pumpkin...little did I know that this is what he'd pick. I kept trying to give him other pumpkins, but this is the one he kept picking up...it is now on our front porch.
OK fine mom I guess I'll pose for one picture for you...
and a preview of my little dinosaur...

Nick's new table
Nicholas really loves to color and before he had just been sitting on the floor. Since I have become so obsessed with my new couch getting dirty (it is now covered with quilts by the way), I told Eddie I wanted to get Nick his own little table to sit and play at. We headed out to Ikea this week and this is what we came home with. Eddie looked at me last night and told me it looked like a kid lived here.

Out with the old...
and in with the new...
Eddie and I were very lucky when we got together. Each of us already had a ton of furniture so we really haven't had to buy much. Over the 4 years we have been slowly replacing things. One of the things that has been driving me nuts from the beginning are our couches. I have a bad back and a bad neck and they are really uncomfortable for me and plus the "blue" just doesn't do it for me. I finally found a couch I absolutely LOVE. No we didn't need a new couch, but I wanted a new couch. I've been browsing for 4 years and have never really been in love with anything, until the other day. I saw this couch in an ad...we went that night right before the closed and sat on it...I debated it all the next day. That night we went back and bought it and it was delivered tonight. I absolutely LOVE it. It's a microfiber material that has been protected (yeah I know we're nuts for beige with a toddler)...and the base is leather! It is absolutely gorgeous! The leather and beige pillows came with it but were soon replaced with my maroon ones.
Our old couch minus the loveseat...
My new beauty...
18 months old
Nicholas is officially half way to his second birthday today...
He now helps get himself dressed and can almost use a fork. His vocabulary is increasing every day and his new favorite work is "hi". He also loves his "spikes". If you ask them where they are he will touch his head. He even asks for spikes by rubbing his head and then going to look for his "spiker" gel. I looked at Eddie the other day and asked him when our little baby started growing up. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It's hard to believe that only a year and a half ago he was just born!
