Summing up Summer

Well Summer is over. :O( I can't believe how fast the summer flew by! We had a great time though and I will cherish every moment. Since I am super behind on the blog I decided to go through our pics and pull out a few to catch you up. Looking back even I was shocked at how much as gone on in just a few short months. At the beginning of the summer Nick started pulling himself up and crawling within a few weeks of each other. Here he was showing off on his 8 month birthday.



Here's our happy little family a few days after our 4 year wedding anniversary. Time flies!
Look how adorable my boys are! They are so much alike!!
We took a family trip to the zoo with Hugo, Angie and Alex, we had a great time!
Cousins and best friends!
Over the summer one of the biggest things I did was change schools. I will miss my wonderful Lafayette family, including the staff, my students and their families. Here we are over the summer having our first (of many, I hope) Room 10 Reunions.
The next big thing over the summer was when Nick went from pulling up to cruising along the furniture.
Nick loves his new found freedom!
Food has become a lot more fun! Here we are the first night he ate cheerios. He still really loves them but luckily he loves lots of things now, including broccoli!
He always has to inspect his food first before eating it. :O)
We also had haircut number 2! His hair is like mommy's and it grows like a weed! The pic below is the "after." The next few are the actual haircut, in the kiddy hair salon.


Here he is showing off how much he like to eat now. He does prefer to do it himself, he still dislikes have someone shove a spoon in his face. :O)
A big event that happened at the end of the summer was his cousin Alex turned one! Here's daddy and Nick chilling out at the party.
Here's Alex showing off that he is not only one but he can also walk around! :O) (His party was a western theme hence the cute cowboy gear.)
Here's Nick partying with his cousins and friend. (From left to right; Nick, Cousin Alex, his friend Diego and his cousin Mina)
Here's Nick just a day before I went back to work. He is now standing up and letting go. He can stand for long periods without holding on. He even took 2 steps when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house. My mom and dad, Raz and I all saw him, it was pretty exciting. I am sure we ensured that he would never do it again when we all started screaming!

Doesn't it kind of look like he knows he's adorable? Or is it just me?

ps if you look closely you can see his tooth popping up. He had just one at this point but he has both bottom teeth now! Click on any of the pics to see them full size.
