From Nicole to Nicole

Hi Aunt Brandi...

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and that I miss you. I hope you're having a good time with all of your friends at home without me there to hang out with. One of our friends here got me this cool butt shaking seat toy thing - I kind of love it - it has a blue elephant that hangs down from this bar at the top and I can even touch the elephant now and grab it sometimes! You would be so impressed, I'm sure. Mom and I were chilling out under the covers the other morning (literally) and she told me that she kind of misses you. She showed our friends here the picture of you two "moons" and they said it was a very good picture. I think that you would like it here (for a few days). Let me know if you're going to come visit and I'll find a blankie for you!

Love,

Nila

Nila in Dubai

Here are some pics we took in Dubai. I know it's a few weeks ago, but they're pretty cute, nonetheless.

Slow pics,

I tried to post these pics here but blogger was too slow because the pictures too big. SO click here and scroll to the bottom for a five recent pics of the star of this show. These were taken on the way into Iraq. She's still so cute, right!? More coming very soon of her on Thanksgiving Day in her cute Thanksgiving dress (the brown courdoroy one!)...

Alive and Well

I know we haven't updated this blog for awhile, but Nila is doing very well. She seems to be very happy.

She's started cooing and chatting which is very funny.

We bought her a kangaroo -style baby carrier thing at the Chicco store in the bazaar and I carried her all around town. Everyone stared at us. Hard.

i wonder if they would be surprised to learn that we bought the contraption in their very own bazaar?

Sorry

I am sorry for the dearth of posts here, but I promise more news as we settle in!

Nila is doing well. She's healthy and happy. She's been pretty smiley over the last few days - and it isn't gas.
