Recharge the batteries.
This was when Niklas first started to crawl all over the place.
Avila Valley Barn. Boy - that place changed since I worked there!
Niklas helps clipping the coupons.
Niklas loves his crib!
Being outdoors is the best!
John was trying to see how much he could pack in his carry on luggage for his Ohio trip. Thank God he had to leave Niklas with me.
Mothers Day - we hiked from the house over to Montana De Oro and then down to the beach.
John's b-day - Santa Barbara Zoo - it was fun!
Niklas loves playing with our dear friend Xiomara!
Strawberries taste good!
This pear might have caused some irritation in his system but it was yummy!
Monterey Aquarium
We went to the aquarium in Monterey. Niklas didn't sleep all day - he was sooooo excited!!!

This is the class we attend on Fridays. Niklas sits with the teacher.
We got Niklas a new high chair after our friends pointed out that the old high chair was unsafe.
Tante Martina and Niklas have a lot of fun together! Martina and Stefan visited us for the past three weeks - Thanks guys! We really enjoyed your company.

Spooners Cove
Niklas went swimming for the first time and really enjoyed it. He was staring at the paintings on the walls and at the fish hanging from the ceiling. He was amazed by everything.
Left or Right Handed?
Niklas still uses both hands - sometimes one more than the other. He loves the Happy Baby Puffs.
Thinking About It
Niklas is thinking about crawling. He gets on all fours but doesn't move yet. He is waiting for us to child proof the house first...
By the way - one of the top two teeth broke through on Sunday.
The other day Niklas fell asleep while we were getting ready for a hike.
Presidents' Day Weekend and More
Niklas had Yogurt for the first time this week.
Niklas rolls all over the place to find two things he can bang against eachother to make noise.

Manchmal isst der Niklas nur wenn er den Loeffel selber halten darf.
