Summer Fun!

Nolan is going to start swimming lessons this summer, so we have been practicing in the pool!  He loves the water and this float Grandma got him!

Huh???

Last night we had a friend over for the series finale of Lost.  I still don't really understand what happened or what didn't happen???  We had a good time and some fun Dharma Initiative food!

The Game has Changed...

Today I realized that everything has changed in our house. Nolan and I had come home from the grocery store and he was playing with some books in the living room. I could see him while I was putting up the groceries but I wasn't paying complete attention to him (big mistake). I would look up every few minutes to check on him. I could still hear him but I couldn't see him anymore so I went to look for him. I then found him in the guest bathroom dipping his books in the toilet! He looked up at me and laughed like it was the funniest thing ever!

I decided that the rest of the groceries could wait. So we were then playing on the floor. Nolan loves playing hide and seek. We run around the furniture. Sometimes he catches me and sometimes I catch him. He is very fast! He was crawling after me, so I decided he would think it was funny for me to crawl through his tunnel to get away from him. Right as I got all the way into the tunnel Nolan decided he should probably follow me. He crawled up my legs and over me until he was laying on my back and we were both stuck in the tunnel! Luckily this was about the same time as Jonathan got home tonight!


I was so excited for him to be walking and playing, but I do miss the days when if you put him some place he would still be there when you got back!


Here are some of his 1 year pictures...

Exciting New.....

Nolan is very excited to announce that after a very long time he is getting an official Aunt Kristi!!! My brother proposed to his long time girlfriend this weekend and we couldn't be more excited! 

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I had a terrific Mother's Day today! It started off with breakfast with my two favorite guys and the best Mother's Day card ever! We then headed to the Children's Place at the Museum of Nature and Science. Nolan had a great time playing with everything. He especially loved the water play area. We are definitely going to have to go again!

This is my Mother's Day card from Nolan!

Can you tell that he had a blast?  Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!

Thank You Shari and Laurie!!!

Thank you Shari and Laurie for Nolan's first baseball set! I think Daddy was really excited about it too!

Birthday Party Part 3

We had such a wonderful birthday week that I am a little sad to see it come to an end!  Nolan had such a great time and it was so great to get to spend time with everyone! It has been amazing to see him grow over the last year and it was lots of fun celebrating it!  Here are some pics of the party.
