Put lights on house while toddler is taking a nap (and be quick because you never know when nap time ends).

Pick out Christmas tree while toddler is safely buckled in stroller

Get toddler in the mood by going to a Christmas lights show (house lights perform to Christmas music).


Once tree is safely indoors, ask toddler for help getting the lights on the tree.
(These are my favorite!)

Ask toddler to check every single bulb to make sure they are all working.
The lights are working…time to put them on the tree.

That’s our boy…..always in motion.
I gave him the kitchen timer the other day and he thought he won the baby lottery.

Caught again on camera

I took him to the zoo a few weeks ago. It was probably his 9th or 10th visit to our zoo, but it is “The World Famous San Diego Zoo” — and we have annual passes. He isn’t allowed to get tired of it! We stopped by the kids’ petting area where he found a very strange looking “dog.”

He really wasn’t too sure about the goat. I think he tried to charge one of them, but I grabbed him before he could get into a headbutting war with a goat (they can be feisty little critters, you know.)
On the other side of the “chained area” is where the sheep can sleep, eat, rest, etc. The picture is blurry because the boy was shaking the crap out of the chain & shreaking loudly. I think he liked it better than any of the animals we saw.

Our 13 1/2 month old can eat as much as I do….sometimes, he eats more.



I think breakfast is his favorite (and biggest) meal of the day. He’s a growing boy, right? (Just like his Daddy)

You have to laugh at this.
NCL found this position very comfortable - for at last 5 minutes.

It’s a good thing we live in San Diego….one of the few places in the country that you can play outside nearly every single day of the year. NCL loves to be outside. Looks like he might want to follow in Daddy’s footsteps with gardening, too.




Oh yeah, and how can I forget…..Boy with Truck.

Lots of other pics in the “Nov NCL Album” - check them out if you have time
