A Year in Review--Niko Thomas






It has been a little over a year since I last blogged about our family. Since that time our family has grown from 4 to 5 with the birth of Niko Thomas O'Rourke Mavros on April 20th, 2011. This past weekend we celebrated his 1st birthday. Boy, did that year fly by!

Niko has added so much to our family and we are so happy to have him. He is sweet and loving and gets a kick out of his sisters. He loves mickey mouse and playing barbies and princesses with his sisters. He now has a collection of Star Wars figures that he and his sisters enjoy playing together. I think his dad prefers playing star wars too. Being prince charming was getting a little old. :)

Niko's first year started off with bang by showing up almost a month early! By 8 weeks old he was on a plane to Santa Barbara to celebrate Jeff's brother's wedding and then he got to enjoy Jeff's sister's wedding in Chicago this past October. He is quite the trooper, as I imagine most third children have to be. He is very good about going along for the ride to all his sisters' activities. He is definitely a momma's boy and prefers to be attached to my hip. However, he brightens up, as the girls do, the minute they hear their dad walk through the door.

I am looking forward to this next year and all the things to come as he grows and his little personality really starts to show.
