Nico walking, Live Oak Park
Nico and his hair wings
Nico is my superhero
Nico's irresistible, full body smile
10 things I love about Nico:
1. His smile that is SO big, anyone within 100 feet can feel the full impact. (see above photo in stroller) It is more contagious and wonderful than any possible thing in the world.
2. The way he throws the entire weight of his body onto Ben when he hugs him.
3. His inflatable feet.
4. His easy laughter.
5. His excitement when we play “get you” and chase each other around the house.
6. The way his entire body shakes, his hands ball into fists, his forehead gets red and he grunts exceptionally loud when he gets angry. We always wait for him to turn green and bust through his onesie, Incredible Hulk style in these moments.
7. How he likes to hug and put his arm around other kids at the park.
8. That his first words are “yeah…” and “look! look!” giving us a little window into his personality.
9. That he is my best customer at the dinner table.
10. That my heart bursts at the sight of him. That he has expanded the love in our home exponentially. That he has opened up something in all of us that is beyond sacred and extraordinary.

happy birthday, nico! you are radiantly beautiful, little man.
So precious and handsome, look at those lashes! You have captured some great shots as well! Happy Birthday to the 3rd person I know with this lovely 11/4 birthday!!!
And happy birthday to you mama, these are such amazing markers for our life as mamas. Our third baby opened us up in such a way as you describe. He changed everything and even when it is really hard, I find my joy inside of his heart.
Happy Birthday, precious Nico! You are quite a beauty. And love to you, beautiful Mommy.

You Made it through a YEAR of having TWO children, a husband, a business and a creative life! That is worth celebrating!! Nico is pure JOY! I love him!
This one stuck me the most:
10. That my heart bursts at the sight of him. That he has expanded the love in our home exponentially. That he has opened up something in all of us that is beyond sacred and extraordinary.
You say with words what I feel about my own son but didn’t have exactly the right way of saying it. YES! YES! YES!
Now go have some cake!
