Niko is almost three months old...
I'm still debating upon how genuine that calculation is due to the fact that February is a short month. Either way though, I see change in him daily. For instance...


EXHIBIT A:

His startle reflex is much more controlled.
Baby boy would cry and flail when the camera was in his face before.
Not to mention when the flash went off his arms would shoot straight up into the air as if he had natural instinct to protect himself from the sudden and scary flash of light.
These days when I pull out the camera I get the, "Really mom, we're doing this again?" look.

EXHIBIT B:

Niko is a smiling fool!
He seemed to hit this particular milestone early. (before two months to be exact)
If that wasn't enough to make the Grinch's heart grow three sizes, you should see Niko's smiles these days! Frequent, big, and he even tries to laugh!
I wouldn't get too excited though...we have a long way to go before that gurgle develops into a chuckle...

EXHIBIT C:

Look, he's even developing a personality...this one's, "Niko Suave"

EXHIBIT D:

Over all cuteness is tripling by the hour!

I spent mine at....









My second night of work...I ran food for everyone...
Hopefully I'll get some tables on Monday.
Thankfully all the servers aren't as evil as I expected...there is a choice few though (like any restaurant environment) but all in all I had a pretty decent night!
I'm just thankful that in the times we are in, with the economy down the drain, that I have a job.


I intend on spending the rest of my night winding down and hitting the sheets!


Tomorrow : Catch up on house work...
then
Catch up on homework!

Goal for the upcoming week: Don't fall behind!

Multimedia update...

It seems these days I've been keeping pretty busy...

On the 16th we had a wonderful celebration for Amy.



We decorated...






We danced...











We cried...








And we just got plain silly!
















I also started school last Tuesday for medical billing and coding. I'll be staring at these books for the rest of school and my career...






That's A LOT of pages and A LOT of studying! But, I have to say, I know I will do well and be happy in the field.


Most importantly though I'm in love with being a mommy!!! Niko's been wonderful. He seems to be seeing things a little more clearly and his little neck is getting so strong! He's growing like a weed!

Here are some pictures and videos for your viewing pleasure!

























Jungle Madness! Niko's first time in his bouncy!

In the beginning...

It always feels like the winter drags on forever in this town. The snow settles on the hills, the sun peaks though the clouds, the icicles melt, and then the cycle repeats almost endlessly. This has been a particularly strange season. There have been many firsts and lasts. Every moment is one to be remembered - for whatever reason...

And so it begins. The chronicles of the life of a mother with her new son, the adventurers she shares with a quirky-cute couple from Georgia / a town full of metal heads and misfits / the old rooster with the hip chick, and the inevitable yet constant changing of the seasons in our lives.
