Nolan's Blessing

Nolan's blessing was very low key compared to Griff's and I kind of feel bad about it! No one was really invited and I didn't even buy the little guy a proper outfit! He wore an all white GAP sleeper. Oh well, it was an easy going event and I quite enjoyed it being that way. My Mom came into town for his blessing and then that evening we went to the Pead's for a yummy dinner. Kason gave Nolan a very sweet blessing and he had a lot of people in his little circle. We love you Nolan, so much! We are so thankful that you joined our little family. You fit in perfectly, we wouldn't trade you for anything!

Silly Griff

Griffin decided to put these pieces from his tractor on Nolan's eye's {poor baby} and then wanted them on his. Hilarious.

Big Boy is 3 Months!

This little one is darling. I love him to bits and pieces. For those that have 2 or more...do you love your little one's in a different way, no more or less than the other, just different? Make sense? I adore Griff, he made me a Mommy! But I also adore Nolan in a different way than I do Griff. I love him for the unique little person that he is. I love him because he is my second and I am so much more secure and confident. I feel like I know what I am doing this time around. The first 1-2 months with Nolan were somewhat challenging but it feels like cake now. I DO have those days where I want to slither into my bed and die, believe me. But all in all, transitioning to 2 has been pretty breezy. Now the thought of having a third, a total different story. I am terrified! But we will cross that bridge when we get there...

Nolan:
-has nasty gas. stinky and loud.
-nasty poops that reek.
-has the sweetest smile, smiles with his eye's.
-sleeps through the night, thank heavens.
-takes a few cat naps and one 4 hour nap a day.
-giggles and coo's a ton!
-major momma's boy.
-hates bottles but were getting there, slowly.
-when he is awake he eats every 2 hours. total pig.
-likes his brother but flinches constantly when he's around.
-still a big old boy.
-wears size 3 diapers, Griff wears 4's. you get the picture.

We love you Nolan boy! You are the sweetest!

Right Where He Belongs...

Christmas 2009

I think we are all ready for Christmas! Shopping is done, stockings are hung! Been telling Griff all about Santa Claus and baby Jesus. Very intrigued by Santa Claus and thinks Nolan is baby Jesus, a tad confused :) but that's okay. It does feel special having a sweet baby at this time of year. Very thankful for everything I have. Thankful to have a nice home and grateful to have money to buy gifts. Kason and I agreed to not buy anything for each other this year. We are feeling blessed enough through simple things like having jobs that provide for our family and having a newer, more reliable vehicle. We feel so blessed. We are also thankful to have two healthy little boys who we love dearly. Merry Christmas to family and friends! We love each and every one of you!

I Hope...

......that this cute little buster has curly hair! I can't believe I am wishing curly hair on my big, masculine boy but one of my kids better get it, why not Nolan? Kason has some luscious locks so someone better end up with them.
