Basket Is Good!

Nolan was worth two points at the University of Chicago vs. Case game on Sunday! He had fun running around in the gym and loved watching the game.
We had a busy basketball weekend!

Go Butler!

We went to the Butler vs. UIC game at UIC today. Butler won! It was a fun and exciting game. Nolan is surely getting his fill of basketball games these days! Nolan fell asleep toward the end of the game. He was out cold!

The game did him in!
He woke up when we stood up, and we managed to get a quick family picture in our BU shirts.
Nolan sat for a minute with Daddy before getting bundled up to go outside.
Nolan had lots of fun walking in our row. He liked putting the bases of the seats up and down, too. He loves basketball!

Yummy Yogurt

Nolan is getting better with self-feeding using a utensil...at least with yogurt. He tries really hard and manages to get lots of it in his mouth (and everywhere else including the wall behind him). He is having lots of fun while learning to self-feed and likes to hold the utensils and dishes!




Orthodontic Assistant

Nolan visited the orthodontist today for Mommy's last appointment. Mommy had a new permanent retainer cemented on her top teeth...no more clear trays! Nolan was such a great helper! The team was calling Nolan their new orthodontic assistant. We love Drs. Petty, Bielik, Burke and Team and will miss our monthly appointments with them. Mommy has been going to the orthodontist as an adult since March of 2007. They have seen Mommy through her entire pregnancy and watched Nolan grow from a newborn to an infant and now an independent toddler. He was walking around the office and came home with four new toothbrushes...just what we need! We will probably be back someday if/when Nolan needs braces! The team took and printed these pictures of Nolan and gave them to us before we left the office today!

Pantry Mess!

This is what happens when Mommy is busy baking in the kitchen and leaves the pantry unlocked. A quick little friend in our house seized the moment...and made a big mess!
Thank goodness for the Shark hand-vac that cleaned the floor right up! Nolan liked the clean-up part, too!

Go Villanova!

Our family friends, the Needhams, gave Nolan a Villanova Athletic t-shirt for Christmas (Megan goes to Villanova). Nolan loves his new shirt, and it fits perfectly! Nolan took kleenex out of the box this morning (with his tooth brush in his hand).
So big!
Nolan took lots of magazines out of the basket, too.
He loves taking things out and putting them back in.
Peek-a-boo!
Nolan loves playing peek-a-boo and chase around the house! It is so much fun!

Splish Splash!

Nolan LOVES to take a bath!
He likes to eat his bath book.
He reads it, too!

Nolan loves to point and reach for his toys.
He is so silly!
Peek-a-boo!
