VIDEO CLIP! (Mar,28,2005)

Outside.

This weekend we tried to convey the concept of "outside" to nicolas. Don't know if it worked but we went to Goddard State Park and napped on the grass and it was mighty fine.

Nicolas is sleeping for longer stretches at night now -- ah at last -- (yawn) still doesn't seem to make me less tired though. Maybe its cumulative.

With the warm weather kicking in we are finding it harder to stay home. Nicolas's doctor says we should avoid having Nicolas around people (especially kids) due to the RSV season - but I hope we get the green light soon and can commence out-of-the-house activities on the weekends.

mucho leche + grandma

New! VIDEO CLIP! (Mar,28,2005)

This week Nicolas decided that eating more would be a good idea - so now he is eating up to 4 ounces at a feed! It's crazy! And the talking goes on - he now tries to talk to us a couple of times a day - and he talks to his toys!. Martha and I are making "goo ga" sounds to motivate him - her's are in spanish. :-)

My mom is babysitting for us now 2 days a week (thanks mom) and we are glad to have the help - she's a natural with babies and we only hope that Nicolas's cooing doesn't begin to have a Rhode Island accent too soon. :-) Just kidding mom.

Seriously, things are better lately. We grabbed 10 hours of sleep this past weekend - a block of 6 and a block of 4 hours and I swear we feel like we overslept. We went to a party on saturday night and left him with my mom and dad for our first outing since November -- and had lots of fun! Although I admit I found it hard to have a conversation about any other subject than Nicolas. Ugh! Martha laughed at me all night as I pulled out pictures of him at every opportunity to show to total strangers. (sigh) My cool self totally deleted. :-)
