Nolan News

Big News...I actually got Nolan to take a nap in his crib on Monday. He slept for almost 2 hours! This is huge in our house. While he sleeps great at night, Nolan has never been a napper. He normally takes cat naps throughout the day in his bouncy seat. If you try to move him once he falls asleep, he wakes up and doesn't go back down. I felt like dancing through the streets on Monday to celebrate his afternoon nap. It was so nice to have a hour or two to spend with just Nicholas.

Also, Nolan is finally getting his 1st tooth. One has started to come up on the bottom! My little baby is growing up. I can't believe he will be 8 months on Friday.

Fun Weekend

What a great weekend! After some bad weather Friday afternoon, it has been so beautiful here.

Saturday was our errand day. Nicholas got his hair cut and then we went to Home Depot to get some flowers for the yard. After getting home, Nicholas and Nolan hung out in the pool while Daddy mowed the grass and we spread the pine straw out for the year. I'm so glad we only have to do that once a year!

Nolan loved the water and Nicholas was so excited to have someone in there to splash. It was one of those perfect spring days. We stayed outside all afternoon. It was great!

Sunday, we went to church and then went to the zoo.


Nicholas was so excited to see all the animals up close. He couldn't wait to see the Elephant and the gorillas. He loved the Panda bears.

I hope tomorrow is as wonderful as the rest of the weekend has been! I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day.

International Night

Nicholas had international night at his school last night. Every class was assigned a different region of the world. Nicholas's room was the Caribbean. The sang and danced to "1 love". It was so cute. I thought you all would enjoy the video and pictures. I especially love at the end when Nicholas starts shaking his booty!
This is a picture of Nicholas's class before their performance. The little girl to the left is Tori (his girlfriend according to him). Nicholas definitely prefers blonds. The little boy to the right is Josh. They have been together since the baby room.




This is Nicholas taking his bow.

Big Boy Bath

Well, it finally happened....Nolan outgrew the baby tub. I got out Nicholas's old duck tub today to get ready for tonight's bath. Nolan loved really sitting in the water. Of course, Nicholas wanted to bath in the duck too. I told him if he could fit he was welcome to. Well as you can tell from the pictures, he made himself fit. Nolan loved having him in there with him.

Nolan also had his first jar of stage 3 foods tonight. He ate the whole thing! No wonder he is such a chucky monkey!

We are having a little excitement here tonight. About 10 minutes ago it started hailing dime size hail. Nicholas thought it was cool looking. Luckily that has stopped and now it is just raining again.

I know I wanted rain, but I can do without the hail and tornado warnings.
