Seven Months Old

Nolan is seven months old today! It is hard to believe! May flew by so quickly! Nolan is such a happy baby, and he brings so much joy to our lives. We love him so much! He is rolling over, sitting, laughing all the time, eating so well, drinking water from a sippy cup, sleeping well, playing with his toys, reading books and doing so many other great things. Everyday with Nolan is so much fun! These first seven months have flown by, and we have enjoyed every minute!
Nolan loves to play with his toes, too!
Nolan is a very chill baby...relaxing on the couch!

Nolan's First Baseball Game

Daddy took Nolan to his first baseball game on Saturday! He saw Br. Rice play in the state tournament. He loved it! He was appropriately dressed with his baseball hat, polo shirt with a mitt and ball on the left chest and some cool shorts. It was the first of many games for Nolan!
He is rolling around so much now! We love his great legs!
Nolan's fine motor skills are developing nicely as he picks up his puffs and Cheerios during meals.
He is such a happy baby!
Nolan is rolling everywhere from tummy to back and back to tummy!
We will have to Nolan-proof our house soon!

Nolan's First Swim and...Two Teeth!

Nolan had his first swim of the season at Pops and MoMo's house today! It was such a nice day. Nolan put his toes and hands in the big pool and played in the baby pool. He loved splashing around! It was the biggest bathtub he has ever seen! Nolan will be so much fun in the pool this summer!
We didn't bring a swimsuit, so Nolan took a dip in his diaper!
He loved the water and sunshine!
Nolan ate his dinner outside in the same highchair that Mommy and her siblings had growing up. Nolan is eating Cheerios, bananas and other great foods now!
He enjoyed being outside!
Finally...a picture of Nolan's teeth! His first tooth came in about one week ago, and the second tooth came in the next day. We have been trying to get a picture all week, and he finally cooperated today. Nolan looks like such a big boy with his two bottom teeth!

Ready For Summer?!

Nolan is so ready for summer! He is so excited to go swimming! We had a fashion show today to make sure that his swimsuits fit...and Nolan looks great in his trunks! Mommy found some trunks on clearance a long time ago, and Nolan fits in all of them! Check out the suits below!

Our Weekend in St. Louis

We went to St. Louis last weekend to celebrate Henry Prunty's baptism. It was lots of fun! Nolan was a great passenger...he slept about four hours each way. We can still take him anywhere!
Nolan was so excited to meet his newest cousin, Henry!
He also loved dancing with Jack!
We had a fun dance party!
Jack and Henry have a new swing set. Nolan and Jack had a great time swinging together!
Nolan went down the slide for the first time (with MoMo's help!).
He loved it! His bare legs held him up a bit since they stuck to the slide!
Nolan liked touching grass!
Pops and MoMo played golf with Jack and Nolan.
Henry is such a sweet baby...here he is in his christening gown.
Mommy and Henry's Uncle Jonathan are his godparents.
Jack, Henry and Nolan in matching outfits...cousins are so much fun!
The ever-growing Prunty family!
(We took these pictures after we changed for our ride back home).

It was a fun trip! We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Nolan's First Tooth!

Nolan is getting his first tooth (on the bottom) after many, many weeks of teething. Finally! It is about 3/4 of the way through the gum. We tried taking a picture, but Nolan was not very cooperative! He visited the orthodontist today with Mommy, and Dr. Petty's team gave Nolan his first toothbrush. He loves it!
Of course, it went in his mouth immediately!
Nolan wore his Irish sweater today, and he was so smiley! We had to share!

More Zoo!

Nolan and Mommy met their friends Suzi, Luke and Will at Brookfield Zoo today. It was such a fun day! The weather was sunny but cool at the beginning of the trip and turned really warm by the end of our trip. We saw lots of animals including polar bears, giraffes, lions, elephants and other animals in the petting zoo. It was a great day to be outside at the zoo while enjoying the spring weather!
Nolan saw the animals in the petting zoo!
Nolan and Will hung out in their strollers while Luke played at the big kid park.
A group of people at the zoo thought Nolan looked like Spiderman! It must have been a coincidence with the red shades and red/blue outfit!
Luke gave Nolan a kiss when we said good-bye near our cars. Nolan was so happy!
We loved visiting the zoo and will be back many more times!
