Well it has been a couple of weeks since the last blog. We have been extremely busy around here, so I'm sure that we have ran off the last remaining readers with the inactivity.
First off, I would like to say that the election was of no surprise to me, although it didn't go the way that I hoped. I am no huge McCain fan but I am also not a fan of Socialism lite, which I'm afraid is what we are going to get here in the USSA pretty soon. Hey just remember for all of you that voted for "Change", what kind of change was never specified. I only wish that GWB could run for a third term. I guess I will have to wait for his library to be built. Stay tuned for the pics!!
Tina has been busy with her new job with me at UoP. It's not ideal for her background, but with student loans now due it's more $$ for us and a chance for her to get a free BA and MBA. So for now it's what we have to do. I'm proud of her for taking on a new challenge. I'm also very proud of her for being such a FANTASTIC mommy. She has taken to the challenge like a champ and is doing a great job. I love to see the two of them together.
We did a easy Halloween this year. I didn't want to be that guy that pushes his infant in a stroller just to get candy for himself. I'm a grown-ass man and can buy my own candy. We dressed Sofie up in a cute pumpkin costume, but since this is AZ and it was still in the 80's she got hot and ended up just in the pants and a onezy.
We got to have a "date night" over the Halloween weekend. We went to the Melting Pot for some Fondue Fun! This was a cool experience...a restaurant that gives you melted cheese and condiments and to finish, melted chocolate and more condiments! What more could we ask for?
Mainly it was fun to get out and not have to worry if we brought enough diapers or worry about the "formula situation".
Sofie has been doing all kinds of new things. Since the last blog she has started to say more words, Mama, Baba, Dada and HEY! (in order of appearance). She has also started to waive hi and bye, she is starting to clap her hands and she has started eating some solid foods like puffs and bread. The biggest accomplishment is that she finally started to crawl!!!! She crawls all over the place now and she's pretty fast. She will crawl over to the chair or couch and pull herself up and stand. I had to start baby-proofing the house, which so far has included moving some things and taking the coffee table into the garage. I think that she will be walking soon and then the real fun begins.
Having a daughter has been better that I could have ever imagined. I am enjoying every minute of being a Dad. Even the crying and tantrums (both Sofie and me) aren't so bad. Its amazing how fast she is growing up, the last 8 months have flown by.

Glad to hear you're enjoying Sofie, Nick. When she starts walking, you're in for a treat. I'm having a hard time picturing Halloween with 80 degree temps. I have to admit, though, it's kind of nice to do Christmas in Mesa in shorts and a t-shirt. Take it easy....Wayne
Nick, I got all teary eyed when I read your blog...about the socialism part. No, just kidding, although that makes me sad too. =) I can tell how much you enjoy being a daddy to a little girl. I bet you can't imagine it getting any better, but it does! Wait until she says, "I love you, Daddy." Thanks for sharing your thoughts. xoxoxo, Ang
