March 2010

It has been a good month. Nick found a job. We have the weekends together. We have started our garden inside. Nolan is talking more than ever and learning so fast. He's getting to be so much fun and so darn cute! I mean, look at him! He sure can be messy though. Here he is getting his very long hair all dirty! (I did cut his hair a few days after this. I love it long, but it does get messy.)I think it was hummus. He loves the stuff, but you can't turn your back on him for a second.

So, Nick and I want to do a garden again this summer. The only difference is we want to plant from seed when we can. So, we started a lot of fun things inside here. We just got the little green house kits from the store. They have these little pellets in each plant container, and once you water the pellets, they grow and loosen, and you have your dirt. It was so nice and easy. It was much easier than scooping soil into each separate little hole. Once you have your dirt, you get your seed, and follow the directions on the back of the packet of seeds. Super easy!

We started the first kit on Saturday the 13th (?), and by Wednesday the 17th, we saw our first little sprouts! The broccoli sprouts were the first ones up.This is what it looked like two days later on Friday.

And here another two days later on Sunday (a week and a day after we started them).

And now three weeks later! Some of the plant were big enough I had to put them in a little larger containers. (I guess it was really Nick who put them in larger containers.)

I was worried a bit about our sweet red peppers we planted. It took them almost three weeks before their little heads pooped up out of the dirt. I'm so glad! I love those yummy sweet peppers! The only thing that still has not come up is our Rosemary. I think it grows pretty fast though, so we can just do a direct plant outside here in a month or two.

So, some very cute things that Nolan has been doing lately. He loves to take his socks off and now will even take his pants and shirts off occasionally. He usually does this when he gets up in the morning or doesn't want to take a nap. Thank goodness for onesies or else I'm sure he'd find a way to take his diaper off too!

Nolan likes to do anything we do. If we read, he wants to read. If we get on the computer, hea wants on the computer. If I'm looking at adds from the newspaper, he wants to look at newspaper adds.He has also found the joys of a back pack recently. He will carry this thing all over the house. He is so excited to put it on, and he gets a bit upset if he can't put it on himself. He sure does make us smile alot. Also, just recently in the past couple of weeks, Nolan has been giving us lots of loving. He will come up to me and give me big hugs when he has missed me or is just tired. I love this. Usually he's just too busy to give us any love. I sure hope he keeps this up!
