Having Fun









The summer has flown by. Not too much to report on our end. We've enjoyed some nice vacation time together, spent some time with family and friends and enjoyed watching Nicholas discover the world around him. It seems he has really grown over the summer. He is getting taller; now we need to put some meat on those bones. He's in the "I'd rather be playing than eating phase." So, we try to get as much food in him when we can. He has started to walk more but is not totally confident, so, still prefers to crawl. He can go from one end of a room to the other. It's just a matter of time until he takes off.

The one new piece of information is we've discovered Nicholas is allergic to dogs. When a dog licks him, he instantly breaks out. We're bummed about that. His allergist instructed us not to get a dog at this point and if we are places with dogs to make sure we've given him his allergy meds in hopes of having a minimal reaction. This allergy can change over time; we're hopeful it will.

We've included some pictures from the last month. Nicholas has loved attending 1 year old birthday parties, seeing friends in Iowa, riding rides at Cedar Point in Ohio (hated when the rides stopped), eating corn off the cob, having his cousins from Ohio visit and read him bed time stories and feeling Uncle Tony's whiskery face.

We hope you have all had a wonderful summer!

Love,
Denise, Denise and Nicholas

    Hey Nicholas and D Moms. Heard you were hanging in Milwaukee recently. Hope you had fun there. Glad you don't have corn allergies and could enjoy that tasty sweet corn. Bummer about the dog allergies. But, we don't have a dog so whenever you visit here you won't have to worry about a reaction to the dog hair. You look like you are really growing and before you know it will be talking back to Mom and Mom. Nah, you are too sweet to do something like that. Hope you are all 3 looking forward to Hawkeye football even though they won't be beating the Bucky Badgers this year or next. Our summer has flown by also and we should try to get together before things get too cold in the fall.
    Love, Judy/Dave
