5 MONTH PICTURES/HALLOWEEN PICTURES
OCTOBER 2009
Hello Everyone!
It's been forever since I have updated this. SORRY!!!
Nikolas has grown so much since August (which I believe is the last time I updated). Last month we started Nik on baby food. It was a challenge at first because he didn't know what we were doing so we always had to trick him into opening his mouth. Now, he understands and opens his mouth when he sees the spoon. We have upgraded him to the number 2 foods so he gets chicken and turkey now instead of just veggies and fruit. He has mastered sitting on his own (as you can see in his pictures below). Nikolas knows how to go up into the crawling postition but doesn't have it figured out quite yet that he will move faster if he crawls. He goes up on his knees and throws his body forward on his tummy so he can get anywhere. Either that or he rolls to get anywhere. Nik has done very well staying on the carpet area but last week he rolled himself out into the hallway on the woodfloor. He wasn't sure what to think of it :) The little man is started to explore and starting to get into things he shouldn't be. Here comes the fun!!! :)
I hope you enjoy the photos. Grandma Cyndi made Nikolas' halloween costume!! We have gotten a million compliments on it. GOOD JOB GRANDMA!!

TUMMY/SLEEP TIME
AUGUST 6, 2009
Nikolas at 9:25am wide awake during tummy time........
Nikolas at 9:35am knocked out with fingers in mouth.
I couldn't resist this because he has never done that before. He was getting frustrated on his tummy and turned a little bit but then laid his head down and went to sleep. Usually during the day he will only sleep in his swing. GO NIKOLAS!!

3 MONTHS
AUGUST 4, 2009
I know I'm a few days early on the 3 months but I was excited to get the pictures out for everyone to see. I'll be sending some out once I get them from the lab which will be in a couple weeks.
Since the last post....Not a whole lot has changed. Nikolas and I are for sure going to South Dakota to see Grandma and Grandpa and all the relatives. We are very excited. I'm a little nervous because it's Nik's first time on a plane and it's only going to be he and I. Duane will be going to Alaska for some training for work.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures. Love to all!

CRUZ UPDATE
JULY 29, 2009
Last week and now this week have been VERY hot for WA. After a long, hot day driving home from Portland, OR and washing all clothes at the laundry mat, the little man finally crashes. He fell asleep and we didn't want to disturb him so his bib even stayed on. Must say he looks pretty darn cute.
We went to Portland for a conference with our Amway business. While down there, we discovered the kids had lice......not fun. We traced it back to what we think was their aunts house. This happens every time they go over there so that's why we assume it this time. So, we instantly got in the car and started researching on the best things to do for lice. Ended up calling the military hospital and got some shampoo from then which was nice because it was FREE. Of course when we got home we put EVERYTHING into trash bags and off we went to the laundry mat. Fast and easy but not cheap.
Other than that, we have been keeping busy. We had Nikolas' baptism July 12Th. My mom, dad, brother, and sister-in-law all came out for it. It was wonderful! I'll have pictures of the BEAUTIFUL baptismal outfit that Grandma Frailing made for him in a few weeks. I'll be taking him to Sears to get his 3 month pictures.
The 3 older kids leave tomorrow back to their mother in Korea. This is a new adventure for them which they are excited about. We will miss them but we are told that with military flights, we should be able to see them more often. Hopefully that is true. We will get them back again for Christmas and will be heading out to South Dakota to be with the Nelson crew. We are all excited about that and the 3 kids are very excited. They love hanging out with Grandma Cyndi and Grandpa Brian.
Nikolas is now 2 1/2 months old and counting...He has mastered the rolling over both ways. I will put him down on his back, walk away for a minute and when I come back he will be on his tummy and half way across the room. I'm in trouble already :) We love getting him to smile and giggle because it is more frequent these days. It's awesome hearing him try and talk as well.
Last but not least, Nikolas and I might fly out to SD to visit mom and dad in a couple weeks. We are still unsure as we don't know when I need to go back to work. Duane will be gone most of August so why stay here in the heat with no A/C??? :)
I hope everyone is doing well and hopefully next time it wont take me as long to finally update this thing :)
Love to all!!!

2 MONTH CHECKUP
JULY 7, 2009
Well, Nikolas is now exactly 2 months old. Amazing how the time just flies by. He measured in at 22 3/4 in long and 11lbs 5.7oz. He is doing good and very healthy. He had his first 3 shots today and that was extremely hard for me. Duane had to be the one to hold him down because I was a big wimp. Hopefully I can drag him along for all the appointments because I might be a wimp again next time :)
Nikolas has been sleeping all day but seems to be doing ok after his shots.
This Sunday is Nikolas' baptism. I'm hoping everything comes together easily and without complications. I'll be sure to post pictures when we get them. It will be Grandpa Brian, Uncle Andrew, and Aunt Aniela's first time seeing Nik and Grandma Cyndi's second time. They are excited and so am I.

4TH OF JULY/ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND
JULY 3-5, 2009
The Family took a trip to Seattle for the weekend with another family and had a lot of fun. It was Nikolas' first time swimming and he did GREAT! I have more pictures on our video camera but I wanted to get a couple up for now and the rest will come later.
