Update

Sorry, I haven't posted all week. It was a crazy week as usual. On top of everything, I got sick. I'm feeling much better now. My parents are on their way here right now and my sister Jamie will be coming later. We are all going to see Wicked tonight. I'm so excited and can't wait! Nolan's teacher is coming over to stay with the kids. Both of them adore her.

Nolan got his ears rechecked by the ENT on Tuesday and everything looked great. We go back in 6 months. His wonderful teachers at school also got him to drop his bottles and start using a cup. Granted the cup still has a nipple on top, but at least it doesn't leak out like a bottle. My carpet is very grateful :) Still not walking, but I don't think it will be much longer. He climbed the stairs last night. He was so proud of himself.

Nicholas is busy being a 3 year old. Anybody want him for awhile? J/k, I wouldn't trade him for the world though he does try my patience. His favorite thing now is to tell us we hurt his feelings when we tell him to do something or he gets into trouble. He is such a drama queen sometimes. Earlier in the week I was actually thinking that #3 might not be such a bad idea, after experiencing both of them running around last night I have to wonder what I was thinking. #3 might send me over the edge. So for all the Moms of 3 out there... I salute you.

Park and Pumpkins

We had a fun Saturday morning at the Park. The kids got to play a little and then got to see some pumpkins. Nolan loved the swing. He loves to feel the wind in his face. Nicholas and Nolan both love driving with the windows down in the car.


Saturday afternoon was spent running errands and watching the Alabama game. It wasn't a very fun game to watch, but a least we won. I can't believe that Vandy is in the lead in the SEC East. I'm excited for them.

Today we aren't doing much of anything. Jason is playing football right now, Nolan is napping and Nicholas is watching a movie. I'm trying to get motivated to do some work. I have something that I have to implement tomorrow morning and the specs are in my email. Wouldn't you know that my work email won't open up at home today. The help desk can't figure it out so it looks like I'm going into the office when Jason gets home :( I haven't been into the office in almost 2 weeks due to the gas shortage. I'm really going to miss working from home everyday. It was great!

This is Nicholas being a scarecrow

1 year check-up

He's the stats for Nolan who had his 1 year check-up today.

Height - 31 inches, 84th percentile
Weight - 22 pounds, 10 ounces, 47th percentile

Nicholas at 1 year
Height - 30.5 inches
Weight - 22 pounds, 4 ounces

Looks like little brother is shaping up to be a lot like big brother!

We all got our flu shots today also. I must brag on Nicholas. He didn't cry at all when he got his shot. He was such a big boy!

Mommy, I want to play too

Nicholas has a power wheel 4-wheeler that he loves to ride around the back yard. He loves to do this right before or right after dinner when I'm busy cooking or cleaning up. Of course, if he is outside that's where Nolan wants to be, but I don't really trust Nicholas not to run Nolan over so Nolan stays inside with me. I got these pics last night. Nolan stands there and watches Nicholas the whole time. It is the cutest thing.

You have to see it to believe it...yes this is how Nolan crawls around and carries his bottle at the same time. It is too funny. He'll go around the whole house like this, stopping every once in a while to take a sip.
