Hello, my name is Nicholas Alexander Aronin



During our very first visit...
The sore on his lip is cut from a day or two earlier.
It is nearly gone now...the cut, not his lip....






This is his, "So what did you bring for me to eat?" look...









Bundled up in true Children's Home fashion...although we have been doing a lot of walking with him, he does enjoy an ocassional push in a stroller...but who wouldn't??















Did I mention he really likes to have his picture taken?? This is one of my favorite pictures so far...








He loves to slide down the slide and into "Mama's" arms.











Nicholas loves cars and all things with wheels...the kids here call all cars "masheenas." He was really enjoying himself about two seconds before this picture as taken...


After 'somebody' squeeze his juice box and got apple juice all over his small blue jacket...we decided to us the sippy cups we brought from home. They require a lot more work, but have a much smaller 'messy factor.'

What an adorable little munchkin. What a smile! You both look so comfortable with him. He is obviously meant to be your son. Isn't it funny how life works? We can't wait to meet our new cousin in person! Mazel Tov! Love, the Silver Wagman Family

I think he is the most blessed little one! How exciting to have you two as his parents!

CONGRATULATIONS!! We are so excited for your new family. How blessed little Nicholas is! Praise God!! He's only a couple of weeks difference in age from Sadie. :)

Okay, here is your first "mommy/daddy tip"... on the juice box - lift up the two side flaps on top. They become "handles" for Nicholas to hold. This is easy and no squeeze messes happen!!

Love you all, The Gillens

Congratulations to the three of you! What a blessing and what a handsome little man. I pray the paperwork is speedy and that you all will be home soon. Enjoy every precious moment...they slip away all too quickly!

You both will make wonderful parents. Nicholas is adorable. Can't wait for your visit to Connecticut. Have a safe trip home.
