Party Animals Meet

Holly and Nikolas finally find time in their hectic social schedules to party together. They got alomg great despite vastly different party agendas -- she likes clubs, cosmopolitans, and raves; Nikolas wants to poop, toot, and chew on hands. Notice the turned up collar in this picture -- the first sign on holly's influence.

in week 9, nikolas discovered the most wonderful thing -- his hand. He will probably eat his hand off before he turns 1. here he demonstrates his newfound coordination for grandma.

 

Aunt Jennifer Visits

Aunt Jennifer came for her first visit in the sweltering summer heat. Nikolas took to her immediately -- apparently confusing her for mommy Brenda. Not even 3 months and already trying to make the move on other girls. Sigh... puberty will be a challenge.
Grandma Janowiak makes another trip for little nikolas. Once again, she was our hero and savior.

Nikolas Declares Victory

Nikolas is triumphant after a morning feeding, pooping, and changing. Here he faises his hands in victory. In week 9, he's become much more aware of his hands and especially feet. He is actively trying to grab and hold onto things and to kick stuff. It's still a work in progress, but the progress is enjoyable.

How's that for a good morning smile! 

Week 8 -- The Annie Lebovitz Shoot

Annie herself couldn't have done better with Nikolas than these photos. In week 8, we've noticed that he is very happy and active in the morning. Between 6-7pm is another story, but we'll take it all.


 

A Note from the Editor
