His first Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas eve when we drove out to Moline to meet up with a college friend Drew, in from Florida.

Christmas Eve with the Bowmans side, he had no interest in presents, just coasters and dogs.

Christmas day we were out with the Polzin side.

Nicks favorite toys out of the gate are; the Hammer Me doggy fire truck, followed by the band piano in photo above, and the toy laptop. The hammer was chewed on by one of the cousins dogs that was in town and had to be tossed. With the laptop, all he likes to do is open and close it so far. Nick also received a fluffy bear pillow that he loves to bury his face into. Along with the cute clothes and additional toys, he received a toy chest to store all these wonderful things into.

New things, he loves to suck on his cheeks and lips, so his smiles have to be earned these days, otherwise you'll just get a smirk. Also we learned he can give high fives with no formal training.
