Curiouser and Curiouser

Nolan loves to stand. He loves to pull to stand. He loves to pull up on me to grab my necklaces; he loves to pull on you to get you to pick him up; he loves to try and pull up in his crib (Thank God he can't even get into sitting yet in order to do so!); he loves to stand at the window and see the world outside.

There's a huge part of me that is not ready for this, but then I just love watching what he is about to do next! He amazes me everyday. I laugh, I cry, I worry, I realize I am a mom. I know that everyone says it once they become a parent, and I've probably said it before, but I just don't know where, or how, we did anything without him.

I love my little man!

I love his curiosity. I think it is what gets him going in the morning!

I love his smile cause it's so contagious.

I love his laugh cause it's music I've never heard.

And I love his vacant look cause it's just hilarious!!!

(look at that blonde on the top of his head!)

Sorry for the sap, but he is just growing too fast! I'm not ready.

And, for Aunt Mo

Our future Longhorn. (Unless Aunt V or Papa get to him!)

For Aunt V

Love. It.

7 months and moving.

Or at least he's trying.

Nolan is now 7 months old, and it just blows my mind! I cannot believe 7 months have passed... he'll be a year in a week!

Anyway, at Easter he tried lots of new foods and liked them all! Just call him Mikey : )

Nolan got to try fries, beans and tortillas, mashed potatoes, green beans, and some gerber puffs (we had to give him actual baby food!)! He loved all of it.

As for the rest of Easter...it was a tiring trip (hence the new header photo). Friday we drove into town and that photo was the result once we had been there for a few hours. Nolan did well in the car, except for every two hours! He finally fell asleep, but it didn't last long. He was just too busy watching everyone that was at mom and dad's...he's a nosey booger : )

On Saturday, we woke up and got ready. Monica, the girls and I went to see the Hannah Montana movie...loved it. We then went to take pics with Nana and Papa and the cousins...I can't wait to see them! Then, I got sick and it went down hill from there.

Sunday, I didn't make it to church, but I got Nolan ready and sent him with mom and dad; they, as well as Lexi and Lauryn have been dying to take him to church! Apparently he did really well, so I am glad. Once they got home, it was time to get ready and head to my aunt's house for lunch and Easter egg hunting. We ate, I began to feel sick again, we decided to leave. The ride home was much better and quicker, so I can't complain. When we finally got home, the look on Nolan's face when he realized where we were was priceless...he couldn't have been happier to see our house! I took him into his bedroom and his face just lit up! He sat in his bed and played for a while, and then he decided that he would show us his new trick...that's right...he stood up. He's been working on this for a while and had gotten really good at it over the weekend. For now, though, we are lucky cause he can't sit up on his own yet. Yet. He is really working on that now.

So that brings us to now. Now he is 7 months, and now, he is trying to move everywhere. Crawling, scooting, pivoting, sitting, standing...he wants to do it all. We are going to have our hands full very soon.

Happy 7 months baby boy!

check out that poofy hair! : )

Here's a video of him trying to crawl/creep, whatever you want to call it...don't mind the *snorkel*
