Another Guitar Boy

If you remember, Elliot loved playing guitar with Papi.  Well, Nolan is following in his footsteps!  He has so much fun!

Sunny Day

 

We enjoyed a little sun this afternoon--on Saturday it is supposed to pour and there is snow in the forecast....

Getting all the sun we can!!

No Teeth, but...

Nolan is finally putting things in his mouth.  He got a hold of a piece of cucumber and decided to gum it.  His usual expression at solid foods is an ewwww face.  Pretty funny for a little guy that loves to eat his pureed foods.  A piece of bread is still ewwww. :)

Not crawling, but...

Nolan can sit up in his bed! I have yet to see him do it live, but I know I lay him down and two minutes later I hear joyful sounds from the bedroom.  I knew we were going to have to lower his mattress soon. On Saturday, I knew it was THE priority for the day when I went in at 6:30 in the morning and he was as happy as a lark sitting there.

 

The down side is that he thinks he needs to stay awake longer...a few naps have already fallen by the wayside.

 

Our baby is getting big!

 

The Golden Calf

In Bible class, the boys are going through the Old Testament, specifically Exodus right now.  We got to the golden calf.  Exodus 32.

 

My good friend, B, had the great idea of making a golden calf out of Playmais.  This is made of maize, water and food coloring--great for children and so much fun.

 

It was a group effort, but here is our golden calf.
 

 

The next class was spent destroying it--Exodus 32, 33.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catching Up...

Nolan is just getting so big!  Still not crawling and toothless, but just getting to be a big boy.  When he starts crawling and walking, there will be no holding him back!  He loves getting on the bobby car and sitting there.  His feet already touch the ground--from his height, the car is perfect for him!  I don't let him sit on it unless I am there, since his balance is not good enough.  But he sure does love it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nolan can pull things off his head now--including his hat when he is outside...

 

 

And he can drink out of a glass--he doesn't hold the glass by himself and lots of water goes elsewhere, but still!

 

Elliot finally decided to wear his giraffe mask! What a cutie!  And then he wore it outside to go grocery shopping....who cares, right?

 

 

 

Nine Months Old

 

Our little boy is not so little any more.  Boo hoo.  How did Nolan get so big so fast?  He is nine months old today!  He is such a joy!

Still no crawling, but he sure does wiggle here and wiggle there!  Still no teeth, but he loves to eat!



Trying to get a picture of both boys today...this is the best one. :)

Sun!

We have been anxiously waiting for some sun and warmer weather.  We finally had a day where the boys did not have to get all bundled up to go outside!  It was wonderful!

He loves picking little daisies!

Nolan is hiding...but a good one of Elliot.

This is as good as I could get...

 And here are some videos of what we do when it is cold and rainy outside.

 

 

Sun but cold and windy
