Now Showing: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button aka Nico M."........

.......After Nico put on his "magic"pants he instantly began talking about politics, the weather and when it was time for a cocktail. And then he began speaking jibberish....something along the lines of "tune into tokyo". You go Benajmin Button!






Happy Festivus!

The M. casa had some very special visitors this weekend as Uncle L-train and Auntie Cassie came to hang out all the way from Noe Valley.

NICO = 1, Uncle Logan's new shirt = 0













Sunday was a big day to watch 7am footie with pops.




Hopefully this guy retires before Nico ever remembers seeing him on the TV. Better yet would be retirement before he sabotages the US campaign for an appearance @ S.Africa '10

Operation "Change Diaper" was initiated by Private Daddy this morning at approximately 08:00 hrs. Little did Private Daddy know he was about to be sabotaged by a strategically timed PP (aka Projectile Poopy). Private Daddy's sweatshirt sustained irreparable damage and was immediately jettisoned to the garbage chute. (make mental note: always proceed with extreme caution when proper shielding materials are not in position)






"Operation Decontaminate" followed shortly thereafter and PEACE was thankfully restored.

No matter what coach tells you.................................

(ok, sorry.....dad's been slacking on the postings.)


.........size DOES indeed matter!






Time for an eskimo kiss.





No, Nico's not getting ready for his first float trip down the Yakima River...........it's just his first spongebath!





We decided to count how many diapers Nico fired up over a 24 hr period* and this is the conclusion we came to:



"Eco Nico"........................filling up one landfill at a time!

*note: this 24 hr period was after one of his SIZZLER-esque gorge sessions

I like to call this photo his, "What you talking about Willis?" look.
