My grandpa passed away at Christmas. He was a terrific man, before the Alzheimer's hit him. I miss who he was. I'm so happy that we named Nicholas (Donald) after him. I can't think of a better man. He was a hard worker, fantastic father, kind husband, and a gentle man. He was a veteran who loved his country. We all miss him terribly.
Besides that, we had a great Christmas. The big kids both got Nintendo DSes. Nathan is completely addicted (aka great school motivator). Becca's favorite gift was her stuffed dog that walks and barks. Nicholas mostly got toys that the big kids had outgrown.
Nicholas learned to walk and talk....
His words so far: milk, more, mama, dada, again, bite, ball, go, hello, hi, bye bye, uh-oh, sit down, up, down, car, cookie/cracker, boom....I'm sure there's more, but I've lost track. He can also do fish faces, and dog and cow sounds.
Here are some pics of Nicholas meeting Grandpa when he was 3 months old.
