Fun with Nolan

September 25

Pictures of the boys chasing each other around the back yard. It has become so easy to have the boys together because they entertain each other.

Look out... here comes trouble!!

September 24

Looks like Michael has been busy having lots of fun!! This happened right after he threw soil from my plant all over the front room in the house!!!

Also, a few days ago, I went downstairs to put in a load of laundry and Michael somehow locked me in the basement. Thank goodness Mike was home to rescue me!!

Snakes

September 23
Michael and I went to the Elmwood Zoo today with some friends. He is really interested in snakes right now so we picked up one at the zoo. I think it looks cute with his camouflage pants.

Michael also loves kisses and tickling. He likes to smell the flowers in the front of the house. He loves to help feed Clover. He has started coming to our bedroom door when he is done napping on our bed. It really surprised me the first time he did it. He also has started this new thing of laying down whenever he is tired. Aimee was at Robby's school with Michael and they were walking around outside. He laid down in the middle of the sidewalk!!

Blue Park

We love taking Michael to the park. He is getting much better at climbing and running and exploring. He loves the tunnels and slides. Mostly, he loves to talk and wave to the other children and parents. It is very cute to see him interact with others.

These are pictures of Michael playing with his Fridge Phonics. He has mastered putting the letters in and out to hear their sounds. When he is done with that he will usually put them into the bread drawer!

King of the Sand

Michael loves to play in the sand when we are at the beach. So, the Porco and Gerstberger families got him a sandbox for his first birthday. This sandbox is the most beautiful and biggest sandbox I have ever seen. Leave it to his Aunts to only get the best!! Finally, we set it up today. Here are pictures of Michael in his new sandbox.

The day has finally come....

September 21

Mike has been talking about this day for as long as I can remember. He has been wanting to take Michael to PennFab to ride on the forklift. We went to PennFab today to pick up the sand for Michael's sandbox. It was actually perfect timing because Michael is just starting to love trucks. Of course, Mike took him for a ride in the big truck and the forklift. He really enjoyed the truck but was a little scared in the forklift at first. It was sweet to see Mike so excited.

Smiles

September 14

Just can't get enough of those smiles....

Snuggling with Daddy

September 14

Michael and Daddy love to snuggle with each other. Michael used to always fall asleep with Daddy on the couch. That rarely ever happens anymore because Michael is much too excited about what is going on around him. Every once in a while Michael will fall asleep sitting next to Daddy on the couch while they watch TV together before bed. This is a picture of Mike attempting to get Michael to sleep with him on the couch without success. It reminded me of this picture taken in August 07. What a difference!
