Tempest in a Teapot.: February 2014
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 4, 2014. A little bit of life lately. So he won and now we have these great pictures with his awkward arm placement! The Craven clan spent Christmas with us! Such a fun memory. I love my sweet siblings and I'm so glad they all got to bond with Deacon. My Mom calls these socks his "lumber jack socks". Haha. We love them. He is always so happy in the mornings after his breakfast. We usually get at least 10 or 15 minutes of pure smiles, leg kicks, arm waves and funny un-dev...He loves bath...

Tempest in a Teapot.: November 2013
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 7, 2013. My 7 mile long catch up post, cross that off the list! We're having a baby in about two seconds! That's what it feels like at least. Not physically though (don't get excited yet), just in every other way. We've been such busy bees getting "ready", although as "ready" as we now are (crib it set up, bathroom is sparkling, baby clothes are washed and put away etc.) I don't know if a couple is ever really. Ready for what is in store. Look at that water! We've spent many a night wi...

Tempest in a Teapot.: December 2013
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 12, 2013. When 2 became 3. Writing a "birth post" is overwhelming. I haven't even finished recording it down in my journal and baby Deacon is three weeks old today. Holy cow. The time flies, but I also feel like it's been 30 years since it was just me, Mckay and the simple (and in hindsight, so much less fulfilling) child-free life. So I guess I should start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. Did you sing that in your head? I woke up to contractions! We walked the mall ...

Tempest in a Teapot.: Deacon at 6 months.
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2014/06/deacon-at-6-months.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. Deacon at 6 months. After church with Mommy. 3 hours is a long time for such a little guy to stay happy and entertained but we manage. Will be my Deacy-boy. Man I'll miss his chubby little stationary self! With Daddy in front of NYU. First family outing in NYC. We made a day of it- sensory overload for my little man but I think he loved it. So many new things to look at and discover in the big city! We need to make a habit out of NYC exploration. Until he spots Mckay walking towa...

Tempest in a Teapot.: June 2013
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Six years ago, in between semesters in college, I took a job as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at an assisted living center in Logan, Utah. It was not glamorous or high-paying, and no one got the jealous sparkle in their eye when I told them what I was doing. "Gross, I don't know how you wipe old people butts all day long! Was a {rude} comment I grew accustomed to hearing. And although I experienced maybe more than my fair share of less then appetizing. She whispered in my ea...

Tempest in a Teapot.: May 2014
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Thoughts on Mother's Day. Being Deacon's Mom is the best thing I've ever done. Although it's sometimes frustrating (like this morning when he decided that 5am was an appropriate wake up time), tiring (he still nurses 2x's every night), and just plain hard and heartbreaking (he refused to nurse until he was almost 12 weeks old) it's the very best. I put my hand on his little chest and felt his noises and giggles and wondered what on earth happened to my tiny 7 lbs. baby. Deacon at...

Tempest in a Teapot.: August 2013
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. July 26-31, 2013. We spent five full days in beautiful Oregon! I was happy to be able to finally. Bring Mckay to a family reunion, we've been married almost three years and there were so many members of my family who hadn't ever met Mckay! So weird. So we decided that it was time, plus, Portland is just a fun destination which made it all the more alluring. I honestly love camping, a lot. But pregnant Nicki really. Appreciated a cabin with an air mattress. Mckay, Dad, Kenna and ...

Tempest in a Teapot.: Charlie's Birth Story (unabridged)
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2015/04/charlies-birth-story-unabridged.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Charlie's Birth Story (unabridged). After almost a year I am going to resurrect this blog to write the birth story of our second baby! He is a month old now, and I am scared that the details will slip away if I wait any longer on this. This is not really intended for anyone's reading pleasure but mostly for us to remember all we can about the birth of our Charlie. I haven't left anything out, fair warning! March 18th. My due date! And of course, that night I went into labor. I wok...

Tempest in a Teapot.: September 2013
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 25, 2013. New York City Ballet presents NEW BEGINNINGS on September 12, 2013. Filmed at sunrise on the 57th floor of 4WTC in lower Manhattan, this short film captures an extraordinary and moving performance of Christopher Wheeldon's After the Rain. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a tribute to the future of the city that New York City Ballet calls home. Just thought this was too beautiful to keep to myself.

Tempest in a Teapot.: March 2014
http://nicki-tyler.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Baby, you're 3 months old! Cutest thing in the world. Mckay and I are constantly bending over backwards just to hear his sweet giggle. I hate to admit it, but the thing that really gets him going is when Dad burps. It's so gross, but Deacon must think it's hilarious because he will just belly laugh so hard. Boys. Found his toes and hands! And Mckay popped up over my shoulder and said "Good morning, buddy! You should have seen baby Deac light up. It was so sweet, just the we...
