Ahhhh, Technology....

Pony Express...no thank you. I will take Skype any day. I know we are a little behind, but we have recently entered the world of video calling! And it is FREE..woop woop!! What a great way to stay in touch. No more sending emails, video and pictures. Now, we just it the "call button" and there they are...my two favorite ladies................

How cool!!! I can talk to my family in real time and see their faces! Warms my heart. I have lived apart from my family for almost 10 years, and this is by far the most amazing way to communicate. Of course they call mostly to see Nolan.........

This is Auntie Elise chatting with Nolan (see him in the bottom of the screen). And look!!!! There is Grandma in the background cooking dinner. I felt like I was in TX with them. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

Come on already........

So, this is what my kid does now. He stands and waits patiently for his bathtub to fill up. Not quite 5 months and already standing with a little help! Must be those cankles :)

First Veggie: Peas

Nolan's first veggie went like I had anticipated. Let's just say he is not going to become a member of the "I LIKE PEAS" fan club :) I'll let the pictures do the talkin'!


This look is priceless! He is saying, "DO NOT PUT THAT IN MY MOUTH"!


I did anyway. Not exactly a yummmm face.



And then there is this one. I thought mixing it with some cereal would make it better. I guessed wrong :)

He could barely swallow. He gagged and make this awful face. He is a bit dramatic. Runs in the family.

So, after three bites we gave up. We will try again today. But for now....bananas are still a big hit! He will open his mouth and move his head toward the spoon :)

And again!

You gotta be quick or he will grab the spoon from you and do it himself :) Gets that from his mother!

Peas? What Peas?

First Snow

Nolan got his first snow day today! Middle Tennessee was hit by a tremendous blizzard this morning...it snowed a whole 1/10 of an inch! HAHAHA! Gotta love living in the south!



I wanted to get a picture of Nolan in the snow, but it was just too cold to take him out. So, instead daddy stood on the balcony and I snapped a quick picture :)

4 Month Shots

Well, he is still big! Nolan went to the doctor today to get his 4 month old shots...even though he is less than two weeks away from being 5 months :) He did wonderfully! We got the go ahead to start solids (actually started last week) and received some help with controlling his eczema. Dr. Ladd straight told me my kid was spoiled when it comes to the whole not sleeping in his crib thing. He did not tell me anything I didn't already know! Some might have been offended by a blunt comment like that, but I figure if you can dish it you gotta take it! :)


Nolan is 18 pounds 14.5 ounces (95%) and 26 1/2 inches long (85 %)



Two shots on this leg

Two shots on this leg

And a sticker for being so good!

Shots did not keep him from watching Eebee

And they did not keep him from being a goober!

They must have tuckered him out to be able to sleep like this!

Roly Poly

BURRRRR!!!

Thank you Grandma for my fuzzy sleepers! I am really going to need them this week because the high temperature is not suppose to get above 30 degrees! They will keep me nice and toasty. Here is a picture of me in my moose outfit! Love, Nolan




Remember this??????????????????

I think he has grown a bit....don't you??

And here we are giving the "are you really going to take my picture in the laundry basket" look!
