Happy Valentine's Day!

Nolan's First Concert

Nolan went to his first concert at Mommy's school. He saw one of his favorite singers, Carole Peterson with her sidekick Alvin McGovern. Nolan's friends went to the concert, too. We had so much fun!

Nolan's First Super Bowl!

Nolan went to two Super Bowl parties. He happily cheered on the Giants to victory! We started at Aunt Mar and Uncle Ron's house in Lemont and ended up at the Blough's house in Beverly. Nolan had a great time!

Nolan was a great bartender and offered Sox wine to his customers

Saturday Night Party

Uncle Tom, Aunt Cel and cousin Tommy Weaver came to Chicago for a visit on Saturday. They live in Moline, IL. Aunt Cel is Great Grandma O'Shea's sister. Nolan was so excited to meet them! Uncle Tim and Aunt Jean hosted a fun party so that we could all visit with the Weavers!

Three Months Old

Nolan is three months old! This picture is from his three month birthday on February 2nd. Nolan weighed in at 17 pounds and measured 24 inches. He is so alert and curious as he is always looking around and checking out his surroundings. We love our little miracle!

More Friday Night Fun

Before going to bed on Friday night, Nolan decided that he wanted to go out.

He borrowed Daddy's cell phone and the car keys!

Friday Fun

It is freezing cold and super snowy at our house, so we made the most of a Friday indoors. Nolan's day started out with a bath. He outgrew the hammock part of the bathtub-the water was staying on top of him instead of draining since his body covered the mesh holes on the hammock. So, now the hammock part is just a headrest and prevents Nolan from sliding in the tub. He sits on the seat. He loves his baths and is very relaxed in the tub. Notice his left arm as he hangs out while he gets cleaned. His belly is something else!

We did some exercises and then hung out in the family room. Nolan was very happy!
Daddy was pretending like Nolan was flying around...he loved it!
We tried out Nolan's exersaucer. He holds his head up very well. He really enjoyed it! He expecially loved the music/light part. Although we have the exersaucer on the lowest level, Nolan's feet don't touch the ground. So, we put a blanket underneath his feet for some extra support!
Nolan helped Mommy do the laundry...he is sitting with the towels!
Don't worry...Nolan didn't really go through the washer...he had his bath in the tub!
Nolan played in his cradle with his rattle and aquarium. He was kicking away!
Nolan ended his night with a dance party to the Juno CD. Mommy and Daddy love the movie and the soundtrack...there are lots of great songs. We had a dance party before going to bed!
That was our fun on a cold, winter Friday. We have lots of busy days coming up soon.
Stay tuned for more updates!
