growing & sleeping

So the smiles have started and are very welcome to see - it could be related to the fact that brother Rick has been teaching Niko to play video games, maybe it's the nice baths he's been getting, or maybe it's the good grandparent time Niko has been getting... -of course - our family has been a big help - and we TEASE with these sleepy pictures - -and of course there are pictures of the parents asleep with the baby - but since we are publishing this blog - those photos may remain in the vaults....but we are super greatful for all of the help, cards, food, and emotional support everone has given us - THANKS!!!
