Walkin' in a Winter Wonder Land

The forecasters got it right! Yesterday morning was the beginning of the blizzard of 2010. The snow started in Nashville bright and early around 9:30. Nolan and I braved the elements to take his nebulizer back to the doctor and to get some formula. When we left, the roads were clear, but as we returned back home the roads began to turn a lovely shade of WHITE!


Here we are home alone with no one to take our picture.


This is at 9:30ish on Friday

and this is at 5ish on Friday night! When it was all said and done, we ending up with almost 5 inches :)

Nolan and Mommy getting ready to go outside!

I thought polar bears were appropriate :)

Getting his snowsuit on. This was a gift from Grandmommy. I had no idea when he would ever wear this when she gave it to me, but kept it in the closet anyway. Who knew TN would end up with so much snow??

My boys:)

Burrrr it was cold outside!

Sitting in the snow. See my foot? Last night ice fell instead of snow, so everything was very crusty this morning. Nice for Nolan...his butt made a little hole for him to sit in :)

And then it was time to go back inside :)

Finally!!

He did it!!!! Earlier today, Nolan took a nap in his crib. I knew he was getting sleepy. Instead of rocking him, I just took him upstairs and put him in crib. I know you are not suppose to put pillows in the crib with him, but I think one of the reasons he won't sleep in there is because he feels insecure. He likes to be up against someone or something when he is sleeping. Don't worry...I checked on him every few minutes. He slept for over an hour!!!



I mean wouldn't you want to sleep here??? Monkey city! :)



On a side note...look what PawPaw made! He came to dinner this week and brought Nolan a "toy". A toy he can not play with! HAHA! He said he made it to be a keepsake and that he would buy him a train that he could play with :) Thanks PawPaw!!!

DRAMATIC!

No...no one took his favorite toy...no one took his bottle away...no one told him Eebee is gone forever. This awful, pitiful look is the result of daddy saying "hey buddy!". Yes, no joke. Everyday when Brad comes home, he looks at Nolan and says "hey buddy!" The usual response is the wide. smiley grin that I love soooo much. He acts like he has not seen his daddy in two weeks. Just about the cutest thing you have ever seen.

This morning, however, the "hey buddy" produced a different reaction. I was in the other room when I heard the most pitiful cry. Not his "hungry cry" or his "sleepy cry" or his "mad at the world cry"...it was a "you broke my heart into a million pieces cry". I saw this face and had to take a picture. You might be thinking that this was a one time event...nope. We did the "hey buddy" test, and got this result at least 7 times. I had to grab my camera and capture his sweet little face...ohhhhh don't you want to jump through that computer screen and eat him????????????????????

Poor Thing.......

My sweet baby is still sick. Went back to the doctor yesterday, and he has ANOTHER ear infection (second one in a month) and they are keeping him on his breathing treatment for the next few days. Tonight he fell asleep while taking his treatment. He is just so sweet...ohh how I love him. Soooo sorry hunny...you got your mama's lungs and your daddy's ears. If only it were the other way around :(

Tech Savy!

Judge me if you want...I don't care. My baby likes the computer! I recently found a website called KneeBouncers. It is for babies/toddlers. All they have to do is hit the keyboard and the program responds. Nolan loves the music one...just like is daddy!

Sick...again

Are we ever going to get well??? Is it true??? Are daycare kids really always sick?? Ohhhh goodness. Nolan has bronchiolitis...aka RSV...for the second time in a month and a half. I thought he just had a little cold and a ear infection. Brad took him to the doctor on Thursday...by himself...good job honey...and it turned into an hour long appointment! They had to clean his ears out because he had wax build up...thanks genetics...and he screamed bloody murder. So glad I was not there for this! After listening to his lungs, they determined he had bronchiolitis again. We go back on Tuesday for a follow up, and I have all kinds of questions to ask. First one being why does my kid keep getting this????????

Using our nebulizer...I am sure this will not be the last time :(

Daddy testing the waters :)

And this is how we get him to sit there without screaming bloody murder....Eebee always does the trick!!!

Ohhhh....and carrots were NOT a hit!

5 Months Old

Where has the time gone??? Nolan turned 5 months old yesterday. He is growing into a funny, demanding, loud and life loving baby...a good mix of mommy and daddy! We love our guy so much! This past month he has been:

~Wearing size 3 diapers
~still in 6 months, but just barely. 9 month jeans fit and everything else 9 months will probably fit next week :)
~NOT SLEEPING BY HIMSELF. Ohhh he loves his mama. He will sleep in his bed for about 30 minutes, wake up, pat back to sleep, wake up around midnight, get in bed with mommy, eat around 2, still sleep with mommy, and then he wakes up at 7 for daycare. Yes, I know this is all my fault.
~he started solids. So far we have eaten bananas(love them), peas (could live without them), sweet potatoes (better than peas), and pears (grunts after every bite)
~he loves loves loves Eebee
~he screams very loud. Not a cry just a yell...I guess he just wants us to know he is here.
~Flirts with just about everyone
~he is harder to take to church. With his new found voice, he is slightly disruptive. Not sure how I feel about dropping him off a church daycare...we will see.
~and most important...HE ROLLS OVER!!! YAY!!!
