Here's our son, Antonio, checking out some of the reference books I have on my library shelves. He's fascinated with books. Let's hope that this fascination develops into a full blown thirst for knowledge and learning.
Here we are sitting together — Little Nio, his Daddy and our cat, Samuel. His first word isn't "Mommy" or "Daddy", nor is it "Meh" or "Pohr" (which it Thai for "Mom" and "Dad"). His first word is "Sam" — the name of our cat. He doesn't always get the "m" in at the end, but it's a start.
Not exactly the safest spot to sit, but Little Nio thinks that the steps are the perfect height for sitting on.
Here he is with his Mommy, sitting on the staircase.
We're happy here. The ends still meet, but it's a lot work keeping it all together. At the end of the day, when you get a smile like this, it makes it all worthwhile.
Another thing that Little Nio likes looking at are DVD's. He's very interested in watching stuff on television, but we try to direct this and get him to watch more intelligent things like documentaries. Here he is checking out some DVD's from the Discovery Channel.
Raisins are another favorite that Little Nio has and here he is spreading it all out and getting ready to share it with Mommy.
Big lopsided smile with his Daddy. It really, really does make it all worthwhile.
