Mommy and Baby!

Over the summer, Mommy liked to walk around the with Lily in the moby carrier. They both looked very cute!

Lily comes home!

Mommy stayed in the hospital for 3 nights and about 4 days and then Tati and I went and got them at the hospital. It is pretty exciting (and weird) to be bringing my baby sister home. Lelja stayed with me while Tati was at the hospital with Mommy and Lily and then she was there when we brought Lily home.

Arrival of Little Sister!

My sister arrived on August 24th and was born at Kaiser Oakland. Mom says they were very nice to her there and they certainly treated me well when I visited! They gave me a big brother bracelet to show to the nurses each time I came. Mommy's doctor (Dr. Eastman) also gave me a measurer (also known as a tape measure). There were always lots of big brother snacks when I came by, too (otherwise known as Mommy's food)!

Here are some pics from the hospital:

New arrival

Hi there!

My mom hasn't posted in QUITE a long time. That's because she was pregnant with my little sister and felt sick a lot of the time. That was rough on me because I didn't have my normal mommy to hang out with for a long time. Now, she's more or less back to normal, which is great for me!

Anyway, my little sister arrived on August 24, 2012 and here are her stats:

10lbs 9 oz, 22 inches, born at 8:50am

She was quite a big one and has continued to grow!

My mom has promised to get up to date on the blog over the next few weeks, so expect some new posts!

In the meantime, here's a cute pic of Lily.

Love, Niko

My updated stats!

I've been doing a lot of growing lately. I went to the doctor for my 4 year old check up yesterday and here is how big I am:

41.25 inches (70% -- I'm tall!)
36.25 lbs (53% -- I'm on the skinny side)

They also did lots of other cool things like take my blood pressure, give me a hearing test and check my eye sight. I'm more of a big boy now. And, unfortunately, I got 3 shots. Yuck! I was brave, but my legs still hurt this morning and I had a low fever last night. Other than that, I am super healthy!

Nico and Niko get popsicles

Nico is my neighbor and we love to go to Rocky's market to get popsicles.Yummy! And, strangely, both our mom's are named Anne. Makes for some complicated introductions!

Climbing trees

We went to a birthday party for tucker last weekend. There was this cool tree/camelia bush that was perfect for climbing.

Picnic!

We had a fantastic picnic at Roberts park with Liam and Ollie last weekend. It was awesome. We ran around for 2 hours and then ate a little. It was very exciting. We ran all around this huge green grass while our parents watched up and sat and talked.

Tandem strolling

Sometimes Aidan and I share his stroller. Don't we look cute?

Cute pics

Here are some pics of me over the past few months. I really like wearing my helmet, so I often go places with it on, like restaurants. Aidan and I like going to Japanese restaurants with our mommies. Here's us using our chopsticks! Tati and lelja are posing with Tati as a monkey. He is very silly!

Mable the Cable Car

Tati, mommy and I went to San Francisco and rode a cable car! It was very fun. Tati and I rode the cable car together down the hill a few blocks. Mommy ran beside us (it cost $6 per person, so Mommmy didn't get to ride). It was also super fun to ride BART!

New bike: First ride!

We put together my new bike (I showed tati how to do it) and now I can ride it (sort of). We had to make a few adjustments and now I am pretty good at it! Breaking and steering are things I'm still working on.

New bike!

Baba/djado brought me a new bike from Bulgaria. It is very shiny and bright blue. I love it. Tati and I put it together. I was very helpful and especially liked the hat.

Fun Times with Liam and Ollie!

We are crazy monkeys when we get together. This pic is from about 9 months ago, but we still have just as much fun together. The adult in the pic above is Ollie's dad, Sean. He is very fun! He is always playing with all of us.

Lawrence Hall of Science Visit

Mommy and I had a great time at Lawrence Hall of Science the other weekend. We saw an awesome movie about tornadoes, too. We got to wear these cool 3D glasses. I love going to this museum and Mimi bought us a membership! Yay!

New addition! Our friend Freya

Mommy's best friend Michelle had a baby a few weeks ago (she'll be 5 weeks old tomorrow!). Her name is Freya and she is very adorable. Here are some pictures of her. It is not that fun to go see her because I have to be very quiet and she can't play with me.

Cousin Desi!

I have a really cool cousin in Bulgaria. She is chico Stevie's daughter and is one year younger than me. I met her when I was in Bulgaria in 2010 and I talk to her on skype.

Ollie's birthday!

Ollie had a fantastic superhero birthday party in January. We all got to dress up as superheros and playing some really fun games. Here's pics of me, Liam and then all of us together (Ollie is superman). Ollie and Liam are my best friends from my old daycare.
