Sunshine!!

Just soakin' up some vitamin D out on the lawn with the neighbors. :)

This baby LOVES to be outside!

LOVES the neighbor kids!. . . .especially Nicole because she's small & he can maul her.:)

LOVES to chase Vali the chubby chiwawa.

And LOVES to read his books.

Could we even ask for a better afternoon?

Giddy-Up Li'l Cowboy!

Roman received the cutest Easter package from Grandma & Papa Nielson!

And it was purely coincidental that he was wearing his "Rough & Tough" shirt.:)

Presenting. . .

The cutest cowboy you've ever seen!

This disgusted look is directed at the grass. . . .not the hat.:)

. . . . . or maybe it was the hat.
Ha! He has to be distracted in order to forget about the hat and keep it on. :)

Roman's 1st gun. . . . toy gun that is.

That is one stinkin' cute cowboy!!

Thanks Grandma & Papa! We love you!

10 Months Old?!

I CANNOT believe my baby is 10 months old!!! Sad, sad, sad!:(

He is SO much fun right now!. . . but seriously, where has the time gone? He is not going to be my baby much longer.:(

Ridin' in Grandpa's wagon :)

Old man jammies are the cutest!

. . . . and so are these big ol' baby blues.

We call this free entertainment.


Teething bisquits are yummy but SUPER messy.

Roman has a new-found sense of curiosity now that he can get around.

(Try to ignore the dust on the furniture.)

Dressed in his Sunday best.

This is what I get to see everyday. Are you jealous?:)

This kid loves books so a whole shelf full of books that he can get his little hands on is simply irresistable!

Mmmmmm, turkey lunch meat!

"Hi! I get into EVERYTHING". . . .

. . . ."but I sure am cute." :)

Easter Weekend

* * *

We headed to Grandma & Grandpa Shields' house to celebrate Easter this year. . . . . . And we had a BLAST! Easter is a kid's holiday and this year we had a kid.:) Fun times!

Romie's 1st Egg Hunt :)

"I see you little egg. . . . ."

". . . . almost there. . . ."

". . . .Gotcha!!"

"Check out all these eggs mom & dad! Pretty good for my 1st hunt huh?" :)

Family Pic :)

After the egg hunt we played outside and "met" some of grandpa's toys.:)


The Swing

The Dogs

This is what pure joy looks like. :)

Zipper the Kitty

The Horse's. . . nostril?

Easter Morning- -
The Easter bunny found Roman and left him a basket full of summer fun!

Because no summer would be complete without Redsox gear and swim trunks.:)

. . . .and the cutest little sun hat.

HOLY CRAP. . . that is one cute kid!

Roman doesn't really like to look at the camera anymore but oh well. . . .

Happy Easter!!

Look Who's Crawling. . . .

Roman had been going 2-4 crawling steps forward for about a week and on Thursday morning April 14th, while I was on the phone with the insurance company, he figured it out. It was awesome! He crawled across the length of his room and I started laughing & clapping and had to tell the insurance man to hang on "my son just started crawling!" What a perfect moment to share with a stranger. . . .from the insurance company, who was grilling me about past medical history.:)

Soon after sharing the special moment with the insurance man I sent a mass picture message of my cutest baby boy in his diaper mid-crawl. :)

It has been a few days now and Roman is working on perfecting his crawl. It's pretty dang cute!

Watch out Jack (the cat) . . . . Roman's on the move!
