Back to Jack

Beginning with the first visit to meet Nicky in St Petersburg, we have provided him with a "baby" for which to love and provide comfort. Since then, he's had an ever-changing love affair with a "baby du jour". He typically falls for one or another for anywhere from a few days, to a few months at a time, and will rotate them at will. Here are a few of the "winners" over the past year...

Nicky & "Mr Frog" (at the orphanage in St Pete)

Marley - a trusty sidekick for just over a month until it was back to Mr Frog

These musical dancing fools were a favorite for a bit...of course, they weren't allowed to leave the house, but you bet they were in action the second Nicky got home from school each day!

Tasha (aka "Tata" - he couldn't say the "sh" - we quite liked hearing him say this one's name...can't figure out why...)

Jack Bunny - Nicky's 1st Easter "baby" - also a lovely view of his post-face plant incident...
Nicky sporting Momma's heels with his friend Bevo (aka "cow"). He got Bevo as a birthday present from his Aunt Pam & Uncle David and for the longest time, Bevo was the winner. I think he had one of the longest runs as the go-to pal.

Then came alligator for a brief stint...

...until Shamu took over for a bit.

Then we went to Octoberfest where Nicky saw a real-life version of Jack Bunny... ...and we've been back to Jack ever since!

Kris thinks that he has way too many babies...they're piled on his bed, on his bookshelf, in a bucket and a dump truck. However, I agree with Nicky - you can never have too many cuddly friends that make you feel safe.
