All smiles on the swings...

Niko loves swings--in the backyard, at the playground, at Grandma's house. Here are a few pics of him at our house and at the playground down the street.

He loves Nutella!

For lunch on Wednesday, Niko had a Nutella sandwich and loved it. He ate every last bite and didn't even try to share with Lola! Hopefully this doesn't go the way of PB&J, which he liked for a weeks, then decided it was more fun to play with.

Baby reunion #2

This past Sunday, we had our 2nd baby reunion. Our 1st one was last October when the babies were only 4 or 5 months. Now almost a year later, they're walking, saying a few words and even sitting in a row for a picture! Coincidentally, Niko was not walking as of the baby reunion (a few steps here and there, but still doing a lot more crawling) but on that day he took about 6 steps without heading towards a toy or Mommy or Daddy. Maybe it was seeing all of the other kids walking or maybe he's just decided he's ready, but in the last week, he's been doing a lot more walking each day. Hooray for independence!
