We are a married couple who adopted our little Russky, Nikita {aka Nicky, Nicky noodle, little man, Nikoli, the Nickster, crazy dude, goofball, puppy love, etc...you get the picture!} from St Petersburg, Russia four years ago. Join us as we stumble through the joys and perils of parenthood, while our son teaches us a few things along the road...

Another Anniversary to Note...

Yesterday marked the one month anniversary of me & Kris' court date & official day of becoming parents! Yeah! It's been a crazy month, to say the least. It's amazing that the child that wanted absolutely nothing to do with us a month ago, is today all over us! I can't walk anywhere around the house without my little shadow. It was one thing with the dogs, but oy vey! Me going potty unattended? Forget about it! Nicky is full of hugs and kisses for us (and the dogs!) and is so inquisitive. He's picking up a lot more English; his favorite phrase is "all done"...all done on the potty; all done with food & drink; all done with whatever task he's doing; you name it! He repeats a lot of what we say, and wants to know what everything is that he sees.

Things Nicky likes...
Music & dancing, toys that make noise, his swing, playing with the dogs, following momma around & oh boy, does this kid like "machinas" (cars/trucks/etc)!

Foods I'm surprised that a 2 year old eats...
Brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, salad, zucchini & yellow squash. (he really IS my son!) He does enjoy meat of all types, so Kris is happy about that.

A few boxes arrived via UPS today from Toys-R-Us and this was Nicky's reaction to them...
Who is this kid?! :) Most kids would've torn thru the boxes to find all the fun stuff they contained. Not Nicky - he went for the fun puppy flashlight and was satisfied! Thank you Uncle Brent, Aunt Caroline, Brenden & Emily for all the fun stuff! Kris will be most happy about the "grow to pro" golf set! :)
