Macho Baby

Nikolai is modelling his "Miso Macho" onesie that my cousin Elaine made for him. This weekend he started holding on to things that we would give him which was new and exciting. Usually he will grab and then drop anything that you put in his hands. He played with the teddy bear rattle in this photo all the way to daycare this morning and was still holding it when we got there. From the amount of time it spent in his mouth, I can only guess that it is delicious!

Nikolai also attended his first house party with a band this weekend, which I'm pretty sure he enjoyed. Much thanks to our friends Gabe and Robin, and Gabe's terrific rockabilly band, King King. The homebrew 'Dirty Blonde' was excellent, and we only regret that Nikolai got too tired to stick around for the second band. At 4 months old, hearing even one set is a good night out, especially because we're starting to suspect that he is teething, based on the sheer volume of drool that he is producing.
