Nico has a lot to say these days.  He agreed to sit for a one-on-one exclusive interview with Mommy to share his knowledge with the world.

I went a little crazy the past couple of weeks, taking lots of close-ups of Nico.  So I figured I’d post the February photos we’ve got so far before another backlog starts.  (Yes, I know I still need to do November and December’s photos!  They’re coming…I promise!) Here’s your glimpse of Nico almost in real-time — [...]

You thought we were late with our holiday cards…here are our photos from January!  Highlights include adults making fools of themselves playing Guesstures at New Year’s, a late Christmas celebration with the Degans in New Jersey, a Caps game, some snow photos (a funny complementary video coming someday), and Frank’s 37th birthday. Enjoy!

Just a quick note to let you know that the October Photos are up.  Nico dressed up as a monkey for Halloween.  Those photos and lots more from the end of September and all of October are part of this slide show.  Enjoy!

Nico took his first steps tonight!  Two steps to Mommy, then two steps to Daddy.  He’s still shaky and prefers to get down on his knees to get between two things.  But it won’t be long now. He was obviously thrilled with himself — he started laughing hysterically and clapping and became really hyper.  Then [...]

Nico added another 3 states to his list — Ohio, Indiana and Illinois — when we took the train out to Chicago for Auntie Ro’s 87th birthday (click for photos).  My parents met us there and we got to see my aunts (Rose and Nita), cousins (Scott, Kathy, and Diana), second cousins (Krista, Kari, and Lauren), [...]
