9 month checkup

Today we took Nicholas to a new doctor up here in Gainesville for his 9 month checkup.

Weight: 23 lbs 10 oz
Height: 29 1/2 in



Also, in other news David moved in with us. He is going to go to school here at the community college (Santa Fe). We're glad he's here, we're having lots of fun and enjoy his company. :) Nicholas sure loves his Uncle David!

Family and Matzo Ball Soup

We have been blessed with the presence of Grandma Rhoda and Stephanie for the last couple of days. So, of course we went swimming... and made matzo ball soup!

Look Out!


The other day Nicholas made it all the way to the top of these stairs. Look Out! 


Nicholas and Nichole play together really well, when they aren't stealing each other's toys. They are little partners in crime too, they follow each other around and if one gets into mischief the other is right beside to help!





Tonight Nicholas climbed into this laundry basket all by himself and was so happy to have a new place to play.




Groovy.

There are also bite marks on the rails of his crib from where he stands up while he's waiting for us to come in and get him after nap time.
Can anyone name the movie that's on in the background? :)


His little face is so expressive

Manatee Springs


Today we (Tyler, Tiffany, Nicholas, Matthew, Lindsay, Hunter, Nicole, Roland) all went to a stake picnic at Manatee Springs. We had hamburgers and hot dogs which were so yummy!




After lunch we got ready to go swimming down at the springs






Here is Grandpa Roland helping Hunter in to the water.

don't be fooled by it's beauty, this water was pretty cold!




Ok, so don't judge us... we thought he would get used to the cold water after a few seconds and be ok. He usually loves to play in the water. But there were so many people around jumping and splashing and I think it just scared him a little. All he wanted was to get out of the water! But these little faces just break your heart!


This is the kicker here: the pout.

Nichole was just fine! See, it really wasn't that bad!


I love this picture of cutie pie Hunter! He had so much fun in all the gear, but the flippers kept falling off so he stuck with the goggles and tube thingy.

Don't they look so relaxed? Cute little family.

Tyler and Rowland (buddies)




And Tyler and Matthew (buddies) :)

It was so much fun! By the end of a few hours, we were all beat! Tyler got a bit of a sunburn (it can't really be avoided... did you see the farmer tan?!) and Nicholas got over his water trauma in time for his bedtime bath (which he loves!) and we will all sleep like rocks tonight I am sure!

The new place


Well I've been promising to give you pics of the new place for a while now, so I'm finally making good on the promise. :) 
The living room:



The dining and kitchen area:

Nicholas's very own room:



We went to the pool again today and had a blast! The rain must have cooled the pool off considerably because it was the perfect temperature to cool us off!





What a little cutie!


Welcome!
