Sept. 30 - Oct. 2, 2007

We flew to Las Vegas with a bunch of our friends to celebrate Scott's 40th birthday. We also were able to spend time with Grandma Jan while we were there. This was Nick's first time on a plane. He enjoyed watching everyone at the airport and was so tired he fell asleep during take-off. He slept for half of the flight going to Vegas and slept the entire way back to TX.

We went to Pahrump to see Grandma's house and say hello to Uncle Fred, Aunt Brandie, Aunt Amy and cousins Trey, Tasia, Zack & Ryan. It was so good to see everyone!
We found a kids play area at the airport. Nick & Morgan had a lot of fun running around. Here they are taking a break.
And back to running around...


Time to rest again...

And they're off!

Nick was a great traveler! We were so relieved.

September 5, 2007

Nick's cousin, Kyra, arrived on her due date and is beautiful. We were on the road to KS hoping to be at the hospital when she was born but Kyra couldn't wait any longer. We were almost half way there when we got the call saying Baby Baldwin is here! I have to say that my sister is AMAZING! She started having contractions around 6pm Tuesday night and delivered at 4pm on Wednesday without an epidural!! I don't think she had intended to do that but her labor went really fast once she got to the hospital. We had a great visit and can't wait to see everyone again.

Nick is such a sweetheart! He was very gentle with Kyra. He's going to be a great cousin! I don't think he minded that I was holding a baby as long as he could help.

Just like Daddy....

Already on 2 wheels! We thought Nick would like this little motorcycle since he's always saying "Vroom, Vroom" and twisting his wrist when he see's Daddy's. He pushes along pretty good with his feet. Lucky for me, this motorcycle is not motorized. Shew.

Van's

Nick likes his shoes! He's proudly wearing some Van's that he got for his birthday from Celia, James & Morgan. Can you tell its summertime? Who needs shorts?

Fun with Granny & Papa

Granny & Papa came for a visit a couple of weeks ago and brought Nick a cool Chiefs hat. I think he likes it!

Where's Nicholas?

Hmm... Where is our little guy?There he is!!
Nick is getting so good at climbing. He got up on the couch by himself and then thought it was fun to hide under the pillows. Last week he climbed up into his high chair by himself and onto the dining room chairs. Can't believe how strong he is!

Like my hat?

That would be a bib on Nick's head. He thought it could serve more than one purpose.

Yep, those are swimming trunks on his head. Silly boy!! He tried telling me that it was a hat.
I love his big smiles!!

We went for his 18 month checkup on 8/1. He is 33" tall (75-90 percentile) and weights 25 # 5oz. (50th percentile).
