Iron Man

Nolan is so strong! Lately, he picks up his toys and turns them over! He also carries objects that are not light around the house...his muscles are very developed!

Nolan LOVES Naps!

Nolan loves to take naps! He is such a good sleeper during the day and at night...he is Mommy's baby for sure! Nolan was swimming on Friday for a long time, and he fell fast asleep on the way home...he didn't even wake up during the transfer into his bed! This is how he fell asleep. He loves to sleep on his tummy, and he is usually at the bottom end of his crib when he wakes up. He also has his little rear up in the air with one leg/thigh occasionally out of the crib. It works for Nolan...he must be comfortable!

Playing Baseball

Nolan loves sports! He now carries his bat around while playing with other toys!

Batter up!

Sox Fans

We are definitely Sox fans! Nolan sported some Sox gear on Saturday in support of his favorite team.

Downtown

Daddy took the day off on Friday, and we went downtown for the day.

Nolan loved his train ride downtown!

We had to wait under a building while it was pouring rain...Nolan loved the rain!
We walked to the west loop and then back toward Navy Pier. Nolan and Daddy took a picture on our walk.
We went to Charlie's Ale House at Navy Pier for a late lunch and to watch the Sox-Cubs game. Nolan fell asleep on our way there.
He woke up to check out the game with Daddy! We realized that Nolan and Daddy were wearing the wrong colors for the cross-town classic. People thought we were Cubs fans...no way!

We had a great day downtown!

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!
