Mother's Day - More Fun at the Park

We spent Mother's Day at Nikki's favorite park (about 3 blocks from our house) with Grandma, Grandpa, Oma and Opa. The 7 of us walked from our house with picnic baskets in tow and had a great day playing on the playground, throwing the ball for Kota and having a great lunch outside.

Happy Mother's Day!

Fun in the park

Nikki has taken to the slides at the neighborhood park like a fish to water. She climbs up and dives head first down the 10 foot high spiral slide. She moves so fast she builds up a little static electricity.

Easter Sunday

We had Easter at the Sundberg's today, it was Nic's first egg hunt. She did a great job, finding 19 of the 33 eggs, Heidi found the other 14. We had ham, turkey, scalloped potatoes and cake for Jenny's birthday.

After the egg hunt we played in Amy and Craig's back yard.

All in all a pretty good day.

Kota and Nikki Playing Keep Away

Nikki's found a new game, keep away with Kota's bone.

Vikings Sunday

At grandma's house celebrating great grandma's 90th birthday and enjoying the game!

Alergic to Amoxicillin

Well we had our first run with an alergic reaction to Amoxicillin. Nic woke up yesterday covered in Hives. Turns out to be an alergic reaction to the Amoxicillin she was taking for an ear infection. She's in good spirits but her little hands are so swollen they make it hard to grab her toys. She's being quite the little trooper through all this.

Feeding Kota

Fun in Germany

We spent the week of labor day in Germany visiting our good friends the Bruckbauers.

While we were there we spent time at the Herbstfest and we all got to sample the local brew.

Hey look, I'm walking!!

Showing off those baby blues

We spent last weekend outside most of the days, Nic got a little red in the cheeks but her sun hat did a great job keeping her from getting sunburned.

Soooo Big!!

We have learned "so big"!! The first time was last Tuesday; she finally understood the game. She has also been working with Duane at daycare with "gimme five"... she's picking that up quickly too... enjoy the video! We sure think she's cute!

Jumping baby

Nicole loves her jumper! She'll be bouncing off the walls one of these days!

7 Months Already!

We are finally updating our blog after a short 11 week hiatus! Lots has happened to our little peanut! She is now 7 months old (31 weeks). She is sitting really well on her own now. She still loves to screech, so we are starting to learn "no screech". She is also eating fruits and veggies (baby food). No teeth yet! Day care is going really well; Nikki has taken quite a liking to Carol and Duane (Carol's husband). As Duane reads the newspaper in the morning, Nikki tells him all about her night, then reaches out an grabs his mustache! :)

Everything goes into her mouth now (as you will see in the pictures below)! Bath time is also a LOT more fun now! We splash around and hold on to the shower head. Next week we are hoping to go into a pool for the first time. I'm not sure how the little swimmer diapers work, somehow they don't absorb water... yet they are still diapers... hmmmm...

Thanks for stopping in! More next time!
