Aunt Lisa and The Gator

This afternoon we visited papa in the barn. The stone is now set and the shelving is being built!






Then we took a ride in the swing while we waited for Aunt Lisa to stop by to kindly help with one of our hens.


Nico laughed and waved when he noticed Zona heading our way. Awww...



And, of course, Nico's "How you doin'" face.


Nico loves his Aunt Lisa.









She even let him "drive" her Gator.

Growing Boy

Yesterday we went to the doctor for Nico's weight check. He weighed in at 19 pounds and 14 ounces. Still around the 25th percentile. And still really, really tall at 31"!

After the appointment, he spent some time playing with his truck.









Then he played ball with Cali.


And then he joined papa in the pool. Papa had been working hard in the barn all day.





This morning we played with the pups.


And had some musical fun...

Swat!

Our little guy was attacked!! Okay, so not really but a mosquito DID give him a taste of his own medicine: he was eaten up today!

Getting photos was impossible because he only wanted to smile at the camera, of course.



Obviously, he is oblivious to the bites. I suspected a mosquito but wasn't certain until I saw one in his room so... Splat!



No more of these pesky bumps... For tonight at least!!

Squirrels and a Shirtless Cutie

Today was a busy day! The pups had a delightful time chasing squirrels that were literally dropping from trees today.



I ruined their fun. But not before this...



Look carefully. That is NOT a new spot.

Nico and I took a quick swim today and he was excited to be able to eat dinner without a shirt on... He kept clapping all through his meal!!















And for papa: his birthday present from Nico arrived today. the first box of Microbrews of the Month!

One of the Boys

Nico had fun in the pool today with both of us and then later... after a nap with Woofy...



Watched papa and Uncle Cam work on the deck awning.



And then spent a couple of hours swimming with them. He loved the "boys only" time!!

Our Little Fish in Training

More pool time today before Nick had to head to work... Nico and I can't wait until tomorrow when he is off again!

Look at these smiles!! (Despite a tooth SLOWLY coming in these last few days.)






And a little game of peek-a-boo from the kitchen this afternoon.
