Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. We had breakfast with Santa in Russia. Nicholas liked Santa very much, especially his beard. Andrew was scared, but we made him sit on Santa for a picture.

The boys received a Radio Flyer tricycle from Santa. Andrew is a little short to petal it, but he enjoyed driving it around the house.

Andrew opened everyone's presents from Santa. Nicholas received a music table, camera, and snail. Andrew received a Geo Tracks train set, puzzles, and books. The family received a tent and lantern. We can't wait to camp out at our new house.

We've been working on potty training... Doesn't he look good in a pull-up?

3 Months

Sir Nicholas at 3 months! What a handsome little man!

Goddaughters are Special

The Bergman family exploded with new babies over the summer! Grandpa & Grandma Bergman welcomed 4 new grandbabies within 7 weeks.

First picture of all 4 babies together from youngest to oldest:

Nicholas (4 wks), Amelia (8 wks), Abigail, & Anna (11 wks)

August was a busy month as we celebrated many special events with our goddaughters! We are so blessed to have so many special girls.

Growing So Big

Nicholas has been growing so fast...

2 Weeks Old

1 month old

Andrew is usually very loving with Nicholas. He has his moments when he tries to push Nicholas off Mom's lap ("Get up baby") so Mom can play with Andrew. He gives plenty of Awws which usually end up as a head but.

5 Weeks Old

I Love My Truck!

Andrew loves to drive his trucks around the house. He likes to place things into the truck bed, especially food. We'll give him a snack in a bowl and it is immediately transferred into a truck. It doesn't matter weather it's a cracker, pretzel, cheese-it, goldfish, grapes, or pickels, it always ends up in the truck. He drives his truck around and takes an occasional bite to eat.

Nicholas David Bergman

We've been very busy the last month. After a long wait, we've sold our house in Troy. Not a moment too soon... considering we closed on our house one week before Baby Bergman was scheduled to arrive. Thanks to the many helpers on moving day, especially in the hot weather. We've moved into a rental house until our new house is built.

Tim & I left home Friday morning, July 22nd ready for the arrival of our new baby. We got checked in and moved to our room. The nurse asked a million questions and prepared us for the procedure. We were 5 minutes from going into the operating room when the nurse told us that there was a case upstairs and we would be delayed a few hours. Very disappointed, we got out the newspaper and started our wait. Fortunately, another person was called-in, so we were only delayed 45 minutes. Nicholas David Bergman was born at 10:49 AM. He weighed 8lbs 2 oz and was 21" long.

Family of Four

Such a little peanut in a big car seat!

The first night home was rough for all of us. The entire family was awake at 2 AM when Nicholas was ready to eat. Andrew was very concerned about the crying baby and started to cry himself. When Nicholas woke-up around 5 AM, Tim looked in on Andrew and didn't find him in his bed. We were quite concerned and started looking around the house. Tim found him downstairs on the couch. We were glad he was sound asleep as he walked down the stairs with his blankie and wondered over to the couch all in the dark!

Our first attempt at a picture of the boys. We first placed Nicholas on the couch and sat Andrew next to him. He didn't want to sit by him and scrambled to the other side of the couch.

1 Week Old

After a few days, Andrew warmed up to Nicholas and gave him an Aww!
