The Car Show

Last weekend we got to go to the Car Show in SLC at the Expo Center. We met up with CJ, Heidi, Kirstee and Makadee. It was a lot of fun. We wandered around, browsing through cars we might buy and ones we'll probably never be able to afford. Nile got to sit in his very first convertible. He had a lot of fun staring at his reflection in all the really shiny cars. He also liked watching his two cousin play around.

After the car show we went to Joe's Crab Shack. It was pretty good. I think it was the first time any of us had been there. We enjoyed it. It was actually the only thing open at noon. Unfortunately seeing as how we had wanted to go to the Mayan.

Greg got to oggle the truck he wants to buy eventually (especially if we make the move to Wyoming) and I got to breathe on my Lotus Elise (a girl can dream...someday) We had a great time and decided that we needed to have more outings with CJ and his family. After we came home, we were making faces at Nile in hopes that we could elicit his all too rare laugh. We were blowing raspberries at him and as we were doing it we could see him thinking really hard and then he started sticking his tongue out to try and get the same noise. It was hilarious. Nile is way too smart. I'm just glad he can't crawl yet, or I'd be in trouble!

The Many Faces of Nile

It has been such an interesting year but I can't believe Nile has already reached his 6 month milestone. He is such a big boy! It feels like just yesterday I gave birth while at the same time it feels like Nile has been in our lives forever. He's so independent some days. He rolls over, a lot. He sits up on his own, until he gets bored then he ends up on his face. He's outgrowing the need to be rocked to sleep in his bouncy chair. He's interested in his Christmas toys. He's starting to laugh. He's getting more and more handsome as each second ticks off the clock. It's astounding!


He is so much fun to play with and jabber with. He likes to grab at books when we read. He loves to cuddle and he's achieved a new, albeit not very fun landmark. On the day he turned 6 months, Nile got his first cold! He is still sniffling and coughing from time to time but luckily it didn't get too bad. He has a constant need to be held but I can't say I blame him. I wish I still go that much attention when I was sick.

I just can't believe how absolutely smitten I am with this little creature. He is my world. I would give up ANYTHING for him. Who wouldn't, he's adorable!! I love to see how he changes every day. He's so entertaining. Goodness..I'll stop gushing now. I just wish everyone could feel what I feel.
