Picture Day

It was picture day at school, so I had to get Nolan a new shirt, of course! They only did group pics, but I'm sure they are going to be so cute...his whole class was dressed up today and looked too cute!

Here's how our little man looked...

Soooooooo Big!

The whole look

My new kicks!

4 months old

So we went to the doctor yesterday for my 4 month check up...it was okay except for the half hour wait and the shots at the end! However, I am doing great, even though I can't get rid of my congestion (Blah.). I weigh 15 lbs 6oz and am 25.5" ...the dr said I'm the size of a 6 month old! What can I say, I'm a growing boy and as adorable as ever! : )

I get to start trying cereal, so stay tuned for that video cause it should be a good one! Until then, check out all my progress so far...

Ok, it's not a whole lot, but I am holding myself up a whole lot better while I'm on my tummy!

Mommy's cousin, Teri, gave me this monkey, and I absolutely love it! I follow it everywhere it goes! (Mommy likes it too, especially when the monkey is "catching" it's balance.)

Aunt V gave me this whoozit, and I finally reached out to grab it! Mommy was so proud : )

This is me playing the piano that Nana and Papa gave me...

and, the piano daddy got me for Christmas...I know exactly what to do with it when mommy puts it in front of me, check it out...

What I Keep Up With

You may have noticed that I put up some links to blogs I follow, and I did so cause there is one in particular that I would like you all to take a look at.

The Micah Project.

Micah is my friend's (Marianne), son. He is 7 years old and an amazing kid, who has such a big heart that is aching to make a difference in the heart of others. I don't want to spoil his ambition for you, so I ask that you check out what he's doing. You'll be inspired!

Swingin'

I put Nolan in his swing the other day to finish up some cleaning around the house...when I was done, and went to pick him up, I just laughed because he looked like a little monkey in tree!

His little ears crack me up!

Just like Daddy

Since everyone says he looks like him, why not make it more official...

Where's Nolan?

Or, more like, "Where were you?" from his point of view!

Nolan has been pulling his blanket, or burp cloth, over his face for several weeks now and it continues to be a fascination. In the beginning it was quite funny to watch him pull whatever over his face and then freak out cause he couldn't remember how he did it to get it back down! Now he has it mastered, but he still can't figure out where we go! The look on his face is classic; sometimes he is startled, others he is so happy to see you, and others he looks at you like, "What just happened?"

Here are pics of him in the process of what we call Peek-a-boo, even though he hasn't caught on just yet

Hey, look what I found

I'm gonna mess with it

Where is everyone???

Why did you leave???

Let's do it again!

He's getting better at it, and we're getting more smiles, but he still gets freaked out every once in a while : ) We'll have to re-visit this!

Never. Again.

So yesterday was a short day at work for me, probably cause today is never ending, so I had made plans to work and then visit some friends and their beautiful babies. Those plans semi-worked.

My day looked simple: Get to daycare and work, go to first two visits, break for lunch, get to next visit, go by family's house to drop off some paperwork, pick up Nolan, head to China Spring to see Brittany and her 2, head to Hewitt to see Marianne and her 3, go home. This didn't happen.

My interpreter called to say that my 1pm appt now lived in Waco (they were living in Hewitt), so that meant that I would have to drive out to Hewitt come back to get Nolan, go to China Spring, and then back to Hewitt that equals a lot of driving. I decided not to do this. I thought to myself, hey that family doesn't live far from Marianne, so I will leave Nolan with her for a few minutes and run by their house. Yeah, great plan! I called her up to ask if that was fine, to which she said of course, so Nolan and I headed over to her house (They are the only friends we got to visit yesterday, but that's ok.).

Nolan and I arrived at her house, and I dropped off all the necessaties while she changed her baby girl's diaper. I then left...I literally went 2 minutes up the street and came back to this:

That's right. My son's in a tutu. A purple tutu. Brady's gonna kill me and Marianne. The look on her face when I walked in the house was priceless, and I knew something was up. I immediately asked her and she tried to hide it, but couldn't...so yes, Brady, I already knew and kept it from you as well. sorry.

Anyway, Marianne, as much as I love you, you will never be left alone with my child again! You may have even ruined our "couples" friendship! ;) I'm teasing, but Brady won't.

So, needless to say, my baby boy will now be humiliated across the internet!
