Playing With Alexis

Our cousins Christie and Alexis came over for a visit on Thursday. Nolan had lots of fun playing with Alexis. We walked to the park and had lunch together. It was a fun time!

Alexis is about two years older than Nolan...and he is just two pounds lighter than her!

Alexis and Nolan had fun swinging at the park! He loved having another friend to hang out with!
Peek-A-Boo!
Alexis did some rock climbing...
and Nolan did, too!

Nolan's Toys

Nolan loves his sports toy! He especially loves the baseball and bat...maybe we have a future pitcher on our hands??!! And, Nolan has been picking up all of his food with his left hand. A left handed pitcher named Nolan Ryan? You never know!

Nolan also loves Mommy's toothbrush. Actually, he loves when people brush their teeth. He laughs and smiles so much! Mommy was just at the dentist and has a new toothbrush. Nolan loves to play with the old one. He carries it around the house and holds it while he is playing with his other toys. He is starting young with good oral hygiene!

Yummy Biter Biscuits!

Nolan loves every food and is trying new things everyday. He is eating table food and some baby food since we have lots of fruits and veggies left. He loves the Gerber Biter Biscuits as you can see in the picture below. He is very independent with his foods and really enjoys his meals!

Nolan does not like getting his face washed. This is the face he makes when his meal is over and he is getting cleaned up. It is a sad picture, but his two bottom teeth are clearly seen! His third bottom tooth is on its way in!

Playing and Sleeping

Nolan is sitting up totally independently now! He is getting so big! He has some new toys to play with, and he is loving them! He is very into his toys! This is his new giraffe toy that has balls that go around and come out at the bottom...he finds it every time!

He had so much fun playing...that he started to fall asleep during lunch.
Nolan continued to feed himself with his eyes closed...
That is quite a talent!
Finally, he gave up the fight and took a long nap in his bed!

White Sox Cousins

We took pictures of Nolan with his cousins Jack and Henry and made a collage for Pops for Father's Day. Pops is a huge Sox fan, so his three pals sported their best Sox gear. We were so excited to give Pops his present, and he loved it so much! Go Go White Sox!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Belated Father's Day! We started our day with 7:30 Mass and then went to Flapjack's for breakfast. Nolan enjoyed his pancake and then fell asleep at the table. He enjoyed his first breakfast in a restaurant in a big high chair! Daddy had to work at the Sox game, so he met us at Pops and MoMo's in the late afternoon for dinner. Nolan enjoyed swimming and visiting with his Wisconsin relatives before they left to go back home.

Nolan had fun swimming with Uncle Mike and cousin Mike.

Daddy and Nolan had lots of fun in the pool!

Friday Night Fun

Our Uncle Mike, Aunt Eileen and cousins Maggie, Mike and Timmy were in town from Wisconsin for a Murphy family wedding. They stayed at Pops and MoMo's house. Some of our relatives came over to visit with the Wisconsin O'Shea family. Nolan loved hanging out with his cousins!

Nolan is swimming freestyle with Mike, Timmy, Pops and Rose.

Nolan had a blast splashing and swimming with Pops...water is so much fun!
MoMo bought a new playpen for the babies. Nolan and Ellen tried it out and loved it!
They shared the toys so nicely together.
So cute! Ellen is five weeks older, and Nolan is at least seven pounds heavier! They are so sweet!
Nolan loved hanging out with Uncle Mike! They have similar hair styles, and they are good buddies!
