Easter 2010

Here is the only surviving picture from this Easter. Quite nice for our first family picture, no?

What we do at 5:30pm

By 5:30pm Christian needs a shift change (or so I gather by his shrieking) so in the swing he goes, and usually the bears keep him entertained until his Daddy comes home.

Oh thank you Domann's for this swing! Life saver (mine!).

Run DMC

I saw this onesie at Target and had to have it....

Dinner

This week we took Christian to Corrleones, where we had our rehearsal dinner almost two years ago. We had a great time and Christian was on his best behavior.

This is a shrimp and scallop kabob. Isn't it cool how they hang it from the plate like this?

Christian was actually happier than he looks in this pic.

Remedy for a Bad Hair Day

Christian decided he's tired of having to comb his hair all the time...and came up with this remedy.

Whata think? Pretty cute huh?

Then he got a little camera shy

Then he told me that the photo shoot was over.

Bye guys!

Gulfstream 5K

Saturday morning Christian "ran" his first 5K. His Uncle Jacob and Cousin Kylin were in the stroller division with us, Auntie Lindsay got third place (she rocks!) and Chris was a volunteer and recorded times.

Good times.

A Space of His Own

So yesterday I asked Christian,
"would you like to try sleeping in your crib tonight?"

He spit out his pacifier and stared at me. "You mean alone?"

I explained to him that it wouldn't really be alone because Mommy and Daddy would be right down the hall and we would come check on him tons, so there was no need to worry.


Here is his response:
(I guess if I can't see him then I can't put him in his crib-smile)

But even though I told Chris that he probably wasn't ready (per our discussion earlier) we still tried the little guy out in his crib last night.

I didn't want to leave...he looked so small in that giant crib.

And just to prove Chris right, Christian didn't make a peep
(even though I checked on him at least 3 times- that I'll admit to)
and slept in that crib from 9:30 last night
to
6:30 this morning.

Such a big boy.

Sunday Morning

Christopher and Christian

(thanks for the polo Mimi and the pants A. Alicia!)

2 Months Old

Look everyone I'm 2 Months old!

25 inches long and 14 pounds!

I'm longer than over 97% of the babies my age!

This is my little monkey that my Grandma Baksa gave me. I love to hold him.

See you later!

What's to come

Every time we have an internet switch over here at the Baksa house, I tend to lose a few days blogging. Well it happened again, the Internet has been down on the laptops and I don't get Chris' computer. Makes no sense to me. Where do I stick the memory card to upload the pictures? Anyone?

Hopefully tonight I will be able to post. Here is, what's to come:

• 2 month old pictures along with new growth stats! We've got a big boy, in case you hadn't noticed. ;)
• More Hair. I know you didn't think it was possible, but the kid has more hair.
• Smiles! (finally caught on camera) The best one is on my cell phone, so I'll see about getting that to the computer...ugh this technology...what would I do without Chris.
• A few shots of Christian in the crib. We are working on getting him familiarized with it. I'd love to keep him in our room for longer but he is getting really long...he's going to grow out of the bassinet soon.
• New sleep updates, last night he slept from 11pm to 7am!
• OH and more fabulous news! Christian has a cousin! Penelope Baksa was born on Sunday and is just the prettiest little girl. Chris and I can't wait to meet her! Mom and Dad and baby are doing great and we miss them so much. It was killing us to not be there.

Today Christian and I are going to do lots of laundry (hopefully), run to the grocery store, and try to get our new plants potted on the front porch. We'll see how Christian likes that. I'm trying to get him outside as much as possible now, while its still reasonable weather, come July he'll be stuck inside.

love, nic

Baby Blue

Christian is really tired from a fun day at the park, but he thought you might like to see some of the photos we took when we got back.
(btw- best $6 ever spent would be these flip flops...so funny)
