Uncle Bill's Helper

Uncle Bill came over yesterday to fix some outside lights and a few other outdoor odd jobs. Nolan loved hanging out with Uncle Bill! He took a long nap during most of the work, but he woke up just in time to help hang his new steering wheel on his swing set. Nolan was very interested in Uncle Bill's work.
Uncle Bill consulted with Nolan to check the steering wheel.

Nolan liked Uncle Bill's tools.

He helped clean up.

The finished product...Nolan is going to take us on some great adventures!

Thanks so much, Uncle Bill! We had a fun afternoon with you!

Self-Feeding

Nolan likes to use a spoon to feed himself. He loves to practice. He practiced with chocolate pudding today. He started out a little messy...

and ended up messier than he has ever been. Nolan looked like he had a chocolate beard! He needed a full outfit change (he was wet from the slide water, too) and a major wash with the face cloth. Practice makes perfect!

Nolan's New Ride

Nolan had lots of fun playing outside today. He has a new Cozy Coupe that he was going to try out for the first time, but he chose Daddy's golf club over the new car. He LOVES to push things around (golf clubs, baseball bats, sticks, etc.). He finally got excited about the Cozy Coupe...it is the 30th Anniversary of the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, so Nolan has the newest special edition! It is so cute!
He immediately started turning the steering wheel.

Nolan loves his new ride and had a great time driving outside!

After riding in his car, Nolan discovered some leftover rain at the bottom of his slide. He had lots of fun splashing.

He liked drinking, too.

He even took his paci out to dip it in the water...yuck! Nolan is definitely working on eating a bushel of dirt!

He climbed on his picnic bench...

and sat at the table.

Then, he climbed into his Cozy Coupe backwards!

This was all before lunch! He had a great day in the fresh air!

So Sleepy!

Nolan had his last library class yesterday and then ran some errands with Mommy. He came home, ate lunch and fell fast asleep in his high chair. He was so sleepy!

A Fun, Busy Weekend Outside

We had beautiful weather at our house yesterday and today. So, we spent the days outside doing some major spring cleaning and getting Nolan's new outdoor toys ready for the warm weather! Nolan likes his new picnic table set. He golfed in the yard.
He checked out his cool picnic set and awesome umbrella...it is the cutest!
Nolan hung out with MoMo early on Saturday morning while Mommy and Daddy cleaned out the garage. MoMo took Nolan for his first bike ride!

He is such a big boy!

Nolan had fun with the hose while Mommy cleaned the patio.

He was soaked from the puddles and water...and LOVED every minute of it!

He discovered the hose.

He thought it was great!

Nolan investigated the spray gun.

He helped Daddy test the lawn mower...we are ready to cut the grass!

Nolan checked out the lawn mower a little closer and even tried to climb up on it.

He played on his swing set and held onto his bubbles.

Just before going inside while Mommy and Daddy were finishing up a few things outside, Nolan decided to help himself to a drink from the hose...

Nolan was soaked and muddy. He went straight to the tub for his second bath of the day. He put on a warm, footed sleeper, ate some dinner, read some books and went to bed for the night. The fresh air did Nolan in (Mommy and Daddy, too)!

A Nice Spring Day...Finally!

Mommy and Nolan met some friends at Mt. Greenwood Park today. We walked there and back and enjoyed three hours in the great outdoors. Nolan had a fun picnic lunch with his friends in between playing and climbing. He slept the entire way home in the jogger stroller and continued his four hour nap in his bed. Daddy took Nolan for a wagon ride after dinner. Nolan LOVES being outside!

Nolan took Puppy for a ride, too!

The Snug Fit Jammies

Nolan looks great in his car jammies!
They make him extra thin so he can squeeze into the lazy susan cabinet!
