Lunch Date

We had a lunch date on Tuesday with some of Mommy's cousins and aunts. It was so much fun! Nolan loved playing with Johnny and Alexis! He enjoyed seeing the grownups, too!

We noticed that Nolan's bummy is just as wide (if not wider) than Johnny and Alexis, so we took a picture. What do you think? Nolan is almost five months, and his cousins are 27 months. Nolan's pants are striped, so that probably adds to his width!

Nolan's First Easter

Somehow this picture of Nolan with Aunt Maura was moved here, and I can't figure out how to move it back down with the dinner pictures. So, here is Nolan with Aunt Maura!

Nolan had a wonderful first Easter spent with lots of family members! Our day started with Nolan's Easter basket, then going to 9:00 Mass. Daddy's family came over to our house for brunch, and then we went to Uncle Mart, Aunt Judy and Amy's house for dinner. Nolan loved seeing everyone. Thanks for the great times and generous Easter gifts. Nolan is a very lucky boy!

Pops and MoMo took a picture with Nolan just before heading to the airport for their vacation. They had just changed their clothes as they headed to Arizona for spring training. They are going to see some baseball games and hang out in the warm weather. Hopefully it will be nice in Chicago when they return next weekend! We can't wait for spring!

We hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Getting Ready For Easter

On Saturday, we were very busy as we prepared for Nolan's First Easter.

We went to the Easter Egg Hunt on the Village Green in Oak Lawn. Nolan loved meeting the Easter Bunny! The Easter Bunny is Daddy's friend, and they were busy talking. Mommy was busy taking the pictures so that the next friends in line could meet the Easter Bunny. Too much talking made Nolan go south on the bunny's lap! That's what you get when Daddy and the Easter Bunny are in charge!

We met our friends the Hallbergs at the Easter Egg Hunt. Pictured are Daddy, Nolan, Isabella and her dad Den. Isabella loves Nolan and thinks all babies are "NoNo!"

Nolan was so worn out from meeting the Easter Bunny...that he took a four hour nap!
When he woke up, he had a bottle and then helped Daddy put some beer in the fridge. He was such a good helper!
We colored Easter eggs just before Nolan went to sleep for the night.
He loved the eggs!
Nolan loved the beautiful colors!
Pops and MoMo gave Nolan the Hallmark duck that does the chicken dance, and he loves it!
The duck was dancing while we were finishing our eggs. Nolan laughs and laughs when he sees his duck!
Nolan and Mommy finished the last of the eggs before going to bed. Nolan went to sleep quickly, hoping that the Easter Bunny will visit our house in the morning!
Happy Easter to all!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day! Aunt Mar and Uncle Ron bought Nolan an adorable "My First St. Patrick's Day" sleeper and bib. We took lots of pictures and couldn't choose just one because he was so smiley during his photo shoot. So, here are some of the cutest ones!

What a happy Irish baby...Nolan's Irish eyes are really smiling!

Fun in the High Chair

Nolan loves his high chair! He likes to look out the window and watch the kids riding their bikes. He also likes to see the dogs that walk by. It is so much fun!

Nolan also loves playing with his water toy. It is a blow up ducky with water and fish inside. He likes to tap the fish in the water and watch them move around. It is a fun high chair toy!

Nolan's New Sleep Position

Nolan has been waking up in a new position lately...he really moves in his crib during the night and usually ends up like this!
