Nolan went to his first Block Party on our block on Saturday. It was so much fun! We had fun games, an inflatable jumper, a band, a DJ and lots of other great activities. Nolan napped for a long time in the afternoon and went to sleep for the night at 7:15 even though the jumper, band and DJ were all at our house. He enjoyed the activities while he was awake. It was a beautiful day to be outside with neighbors and friends!
Daddy brought Nolan outside when he woke up...he was checking out the trees and everything that was going on in the street.
Nolan walked over to see The Bolts. They are a neighborhood band of four fifth graders and one sixth grader. They are so good! They played in the 4
th of July Parade and at our parish carnival. They are also playing at the fall festival in Oak Lawn.
Nolan had fun dancing with the band!
Uncle Xavier, Aunt Sarah, Liam and Henry stopped by for a little bit.
There was so much for Liam to see and do!
Daddy and Nolan were watching some activities down the block.
Daddy, Nolan, Henry and Uncle Xavier...Nolan loves the trees!
The dads and cousins had lots of fun!
Nolan and Henry were dancing!
Nolan sat in the police SUV. The bike safety police visited and gave out safety materials to all of the children. Nolan was napping during the fire truck visit. He can catch them next year!
We enjoyed dinner outside. It was lots of fun!
He likes to play at the fridge, too!
He still loves to check out the cabinets...although there are safety locks on them now which have ruined some of Nolan's fun!
Nolan had pulled himself up and was standing independently!
He was so proud and happy!
Then, he sat down and was still happy!
Nolan is getting too big too quickly! 
Then, he likes to crawl around his crib and attempt to pull himself up. 
He goes back to his sitting position.
And then he lays down again.
Nolan looked for Mommy's fingers to get out after waking from his nap, and he grabbed the side of the crib. 
Standing in the crib is so much fun!
Eating the crib is even more fun!
MoMo is going to make Nolan some protectors for the sides of his crib to protect the wood and prevent Nolan from eating unsafe materials.
We will need them sooner than later!
Nolan is getting so big! Mommy and Daddy can't even believe it! He just scooted from his learning table to another chair in the family room. Oh my goodness...he is growing too quickly!

Nolan can go from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting.
He is one smart cookie! The Tillemans gave Nolan this onesie since Daddy went to EIU!
He is into everything!
Nolan crawled around the kitchen floor holding Mommy's shoe.
The chairs are fun!
So is the high chair!
It is so much fun watching Nolan move everywhere...he is so happy with his new views!
