4th of July

Happy 4th of July. Matt and I really enjoyed spending some quality time up at the cabin. This is the first time we have been able to enjoy this summer as a family! We have been so busy working on the house and this was a much needed break! We had  such a great time with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Sara and Jake.

Nolan has sure grown in the last 2 weeks. Nolan cut is first buck tooth on June 24 and his second buck tooth on June 28. And now as of the 4th both teeth are in. Over the week at the cabin, Nolan has learned how to chew and how to break off chucks of puffs and Cheetos. He is starting to eat stage 3 baby food and is learning how to eat Cheetos puffs. He has done such a great job with these!

Last week Nolan also really learned how to pull up on things and safely get down. He has also learned how to walk furniture piece to furniture piece and is so dang proud of himself! He giggles as he transfers piece to piece.

Nolan is still an unbelievably easy going little boy. He is so easy to get to laugh. However, he is starting to get an assertive personality again. He is starting to babble demands and throws tantrums when toys are taken away or he cannot figure something out. He is going to keep us on our toes. Nolan has also really turned into a Momma's boy in the last few weeks. He always wants to be held and carried by momma. He has also really learned how to say momma and use it when he is looking for me. So cute!
