Such a Guy

Last weekend we went to Oregon to visit Ben's family. We had a good time seeing all the people we hadn't seen in over a year (and even some we had a seen a little more recently!). On the way down, Ben and I decided to stop for doughnuts (not to mention a much needed break for Nicholas). Here is Nicholas eating his doughnut.

We took a walk to the park with Ben's Grammie and Papa Kenny. Nicholas had a great time playing on the slides. He even liked the big twisty one!

We went to a funeral for Ben's Great Uncle. Nicholas had a good time but was a little sad when his chocolate cake turned out to be a spiced cake that he didn't care much for.

The other night Ben told me I really ought to come and see Nicholas sitting on the couch. I didn't think that much of it as I've seen Nicholas in his "melted into the couch state" before. However, I thought I better go look after a 2nd prodding. This is what I saw (except that he was spaced out on the TV):

This was not staged in anyway. I think Nicholas has already joined the "guys club."

So, between a trip, planning a baby shower, working at the house site, babysitting and Ben having Pneumonia, it has been a really busy week for all of us. Oh, and to top it all off we took Nicholas off the Binky this week. He is doing well and it won' t be long until he doesn't miss it anymore! Hopefully this week will be a little quieter.
