Our lil mover is here!

Well this has been an eventful week. Nolan is perfecting the army crawl! We considered his twisting and turning to be an army crawl last week....but we were pleasantly surprised with what Nolan learned how to do this week. Nolan is learning how to army crawl with some speed. And of course this new found talent was discovered before mom and dads eyes at the doctor's office! Luckily we were able to capture it on video!

Nolan also learned up to pull up on his stroller for the very first time and the doctors office. He was so determined to get up!

And this is Nolan dancing his heart out!

 He can now sit all by himself

Always such a happy baby...playing with his toes

 Nolan's new toy. He already loves to pull up on this toy

Visiting Nana and Papa

This past weekend we all visited Nana and Papa's house for the night. Matt and I went to get some great ideas for our home at the Plymouth Parade of Homes, while, Grandma and Grandpa babysat Nolan. Nolan had a great time going on walks with Nana and also going to the park. Nana and Papa got to see first hand how much Nolan LOVES to swing! He also got a new green stroller....to bad they didn't have red! Nolan also had a great time in his walker....he is starting to figure out how to move.

We also had Nolan's 6 week check up with his doctor. His creatinine increased very slightly from 1.09 to 1.13. His doctor again suggested that we begin to do a pre-evaluation for kidney transplant. So we will be starting that process next week. He would like to be prepared in the event that Nolan will need his transplant. Nolan is currently not ready because he is regulating his blood electrolytes, growing, no high blood pressure and very happy. Dr. Cramer was once again amazed to see what a happy baby Nolan is.

Nolan also got his second cold this week ;-(  This time it ended with an ear infection and pink eye...poor guy. We have some antibiotics for him and some amazing ear numbing drops! This is wonderful to let Matt and I get some sleep.

Nolan has also learned to blab the word dadadada. Oh and I was hoping mamama would come first. We also are still waiting for our little peanut to crawl. He is great at the army crawl and rolling over to get to his favorite toy. Nolan also now kisses on demand! It just melts my heart getting his big wet kiss on my cheek...now this is what being a mommy is all about!

It's Summer Time

We finally were able to get the home on the market this past week! We initially had a lot of interest in our house and were able to get a showing this last Thursday, followed by 4 on Saturday. While frantically keeping the house clean and taking many walks we still had time to photograph our lil Nolly.

 This is our little Champion....we had bought this outfit when we found out our little peanut was sick. He is now finally big enough to wear it!

 First time to the park! Swinging with mommy!

 Sure didn't take him long to learn that he loves the big boy swing

 This is the new preferred sleeping position for Nolan. We think he will be crawling soon...he pulls his knees up while playing with all of his toys and attempting an army crawl towards them.

 Sitting like a big boy playing with one of his favorite toys....he lights up with his favorite color red and sings to him.

 Trip 2 to the park this weekend! It was 80 and sunny outside. We lathered up with sunscreen and shorts and headed to the park with the dogs during a showing.

 Daddy had to take Nolan down his first slide ride....needless to say I was a bit nervous! But Nolan survived

Nolan doing his first ever pull up!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

 Just hanging from the monkey bars

 Loving life and swinging

 First underdog swing...ah just kidding

 Sitting like a big boy for mommy....look at those teeth

Daddy's Birthday and my 7 month birthday

Daddy's Birthday was this weekend! He turned 2-6! It was wonderful of Grandma and Grandpa to come and celebrate his birthday with us! Nolan also turned 7 months old this weekend. He is now a great sitter and learning to play all by himself!

 He loved spending time with Grandma! They had such a great time playing together!

 First time in the big boy bath!

It was great spending time with Grandma and I loved going on my walk!

Officially Teething

This has been quite the week for our Nolly. He has officially cut his two bottom teeth! We noticed two giant bumps on his bottom gums on Sunday the 4th. By Monday, they had pushed through. Nolan did a pretty amazing job with his first teeth. He was up quite often during the night, but only needed to be pacified. Our little boy is growing up.

Nolan attended his friend Lydia's first birthday party this past weekend. He was quite the little flirt and was alright being passed person to person at the birthday party. He even played with Lydia for a little bit.

This week we also tried to introduce Gerber puffs, without much success. Nolan isn't quite ready for solids as of yet...we'll wait a few weeks and try again!

 Eating my baby mum mums...This may have been a little to early for me, will try again later.

 I love the bath! I love to splash and this is the first time I learned that I can sit in the bath

 MMMM...sippy cup. I am such an independent boy, I love to drink from my own sippy cup!

 I am a multitasker at heart....just like mom! Look I can eat and play withe my sippy cup at the same time.

 First time being naughty...with many more to come. I learned that I can reach and grab my baby monitor. It was funny to see why mom came rushing in so quickly after hearing all the banging and rattling going on in my crib. That will teach her to leave this too close to the crib.

 Such a happy baby sitting up on his own.
