Man of leisure

Cousin Emma came back down to Wakefield for a visit.

And Catherine's friend Sam rolled through town as well. If you look in the corner, Gil seems to be forcing himself into the camera shot. Glory hound.

Double click on this picture, to get the full "cheese on nose" effect.

Nik's friend Josie dropped by recently as well. Josie is about to hit the big 6! 6 months.

We decided to stop sitting around the house waiting for visitors and headed up to Maine for some rest and leisure activities. As you can see, Nik had a great time on the boat.



So much so, he went out and got his own boat. Right now it's Mommy powered, but he's working out the financing on a used Boston Whaler.

Keepin' the faith. Go Sox!

Grandma Connie, this video is for you.

Summertime Rolls

We've had a busy beginning to the summer. Hence the lack of posting, but we're back with a fury!

Nik's hair has really started to come in. He's the envy of bald infants everywhere.

With the rash of summer thunderstorms, the foul weather gear he scored last Christmas has come in handy.
He was the first one down to grab the paper the day after the Celtics won their latest championship.
Here he is keeping his friend Logan entertained.

This photo kills me. When he was first learning to crawl, he kept going backwards but invariably ended up under the couch. Look, if he wants to cover himself in dog hair, he can be my guest!
Look Ma! No pants!

We went to the July 4th parade in Wakefield. Which was an overall success.....

Nik really enjoyed seeing everything there, it was the "hearing" of the BLARING sirens that caused him to cry uncontrollably for about 5 minues. This is the only rescue vehicle that escaped his crying jag.

We recently headed out to Baker's Island

with some friends and Nik was free to crawl around to his heart's content. Or to sit and work on some angelic poses.

Finally, here is the documented evidence of Nik's mobility. Please excuse my silly falsetto. I swear that's the only way he'll crawl towards me.
