Tuff Stuff

Note to self:  NEVER underestimate the imagination of this little boy. 

So Nico was riding his 4-wheeler the other day and I thought it would be a good idea to put out cones so he could practice quick turns in and out of them.  The only problem was that I didn't have any cones so I put out the risers from my aerobic step.  Well they're kind of flat and the second Nico saw them he thought "run straight over" instead of "swerve around".  Oh well, they are small enough that he probably won't fall (probably) and he's having a great time anyway.

Up and over- at least he has two hands on the handlebars still.

Speed racer!

We finally let him use 2nd gear and now he refuses to go back to 1st.  It's full on 2nd to reverse and back to 2nd. 

We took the boys to the pool at Creekside and Nico loved the lazy river.  I love that he likes to wear his hat and glasses too and it's not a struggle.  He even wanted more sunblock.

GQ just called- they want to book him for the 2026 cover.

Yuri's perspective on the pool.  Okay so it wasn't so exciting for him, but hopefully before the pools close for the season he'll get to go in.

Finally an update!

Okay so this will mainly be photos, but we did want to do a quick size update.  At his 2 week checkup Yuri was 12lbs 6 oz!  We also put some sandals on him at the store and he is in a size 2!!  I didn't bother buying any just yet since I remember how quickly Nico's feet changed when he was younger.

Just a little side by side comparison.  Yuri is on the left and Nico on the right.

  

I was trying to get a shot of the both of them, but it didn't quite work out since Nico looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.

Yuri's close up.  His little face is broken out- the same thing happened to Nico at this age.

Yuri didn't want to smile so Nico was being my camera assistant.  He was doing a great job!

Nico decided he would just pose for me since Yuri wasn't cooperating.

This is the best picture I have of the three of us right now.  I really need to get out more.

And in honor of Father's Day-

We hope you had a great Father's Day!

Our newest addition to the family

Please join us in welcoming the baby boy we've waited so patiently for:
Baby Yuri
Weight- 10lbs, 7 oz
Length- 23in
DOB- May 26- TEN DAYS PAST DUE!!!

Mommy and Baby Yuri- 5 hours after birth

Nico brought one of his cars for Yuri.  Nico has been such a great big brother.  Everyday he's given Yuri a present- one of his cars or a book.  He is so sweet!

The great Cap Nap- We all had settled in for our afternoon nap when Daddy decided to snap a picture.

Nico was showing Yuri how to count to five.  Yuri is going to be the smartest baby in the world with such a devoted teacher by his side!

One very proud daddy holding one very hungry baby.  Of course at 10lbs he's bound to be hungry at any given part of the day.

Thank you all for your well wishes!  We hope to keep posting more as we get the chance.
