It's been way too long!

I am probably the worst blogger ever! Can you believe I haven't updated this since OCTOBER?? That is 4 stinkin' months! I am terrible! LOL.
So what is new here? Nolan gets smarter by the day. Everyday there is something new. Like last night daddy asked him what a cow says. He moos. Daddy asked him what a goat says. He ba-a-a-a-a's. Daddy asked him what a chicken says. He bak-bak's. Daddy asks him what a pig says. He snorts. Daddy asks him where his anaconda is, he points to his pee-pee. Too funny but not such a good thing! BOYS.
We are dealing with some speech issues. I really believe that he CAN talk he just chooses not to. We will hopefully find out more at his 2yr check up in March.
Of course I cannot forget that he is going to be a big brother! We are very excited and scared. We will have a family of four by August!
Other than that not much going on here. Hopefully I can keep up with this blog a little better!

Finally, tooth #16 is through!

Nolan has been working on the canine teeth for about 3 months now. I am proud to say that the last one has finally broken through! I am hoping this will call for less fussy days. He has such a terrible time with teething and all of his teeth have come in right after the other, starting at 4 months old.

Now on to the second molars!

18 Month Checkup

Nolan had his 18 month checkup last week. His stats were..................................

21 lbs & 31 inches tall!!!!!!

I can't believe he is finally over 20 lbs! He's always been such a little guy though. But he is finally back on the growth charts. :)

He also got three shots, all in the leg. Poor little guy took it pretty well. He cried for a few minutes until the nurse gave him a popsicle. That made things all better! The Dr says that he is doing great! Next checkup is in 6 months and no more shots until he goes to school!

He used the potty!

I am so excited! I was letting him run around naked after his bath and after a few minutes he goes and sits on the potty chair. I kneeled down to his level and told him that's where he goes pee and poop. About 30 seconds later he peed! I am just so proud of him. I haven't even started potty training yet because I didn't think he was ready. But I think he is afterall!

He is no longer a baby. :(

Oh Nolan! Where's your nose?

One of the things we have been working on learning is body parts. Nolan recently learned where his nose is! It only took a few tries before he got it. I recently was hanging out with a group of my friends and they were asking about what Nolan has been up to lately. So I tell them all about the words he is saying now and what he is learning. Being a show off, I ask Nolan, "Where is your nose?"

This is what I got......



What do you think? 110% BOY? LOL!

Some Bubbly

We were at a baby shower last week and one of the ladies left an open bottle of champagne out within his reach. Stupid me, I wasn't paying super close attention (nor did I realize the champagne was down). He grabbed the bottle and started chugging. I think he wore most of it and it must have burned his throat because he started crying. Poor baby! Stupid me (again), I forgot to bring him an extra change of clothes. He smelled like a drunk! Seriously though, who the heck leaves alcohol lying around when there are kids that can get in to it?

Geez, I thought I was going to have to wait until the teen years to deal with alcohol!

It's been a while

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I wrote a post here. So much for keeping up with this thing. Lol!

It seems like everyday we are reaching another milestone or reaching yet another achievement. Everyday he makes me proud to be a mom. Proud to be HIS mom. Everyday, I love him more. Oh how I love the sappiness motherhood brings.

Anyways, I will be posting some updates and pictures REALLY soon. I promise!
