March 2011

Well, March flew by so fast. Nolan is really getting to be a fun age. He says cute things and cracks us up! He has really been into keeping things clean around the house this month too. He's big on throwing away trash and putting his shoes away in pairs. It cracks me up a bit because Nick and I are not that tidy ourselves...

He was recently at his cousins house, and while there he really enjoyed playing in the mud with worms. He was very excited about this and told everyone he knew. The funny thing is, he really wanted to be clean as soon as he came inside. He will ask for a bib if he's eating messy food, and he really likes to keep a wash cloth near for his hands and face. It cracks me up a bit.

We have been getting bored in the house lately, so we played soccer in the hall way with Layla. We all had fun, and it helped to get some energy out before our naps.

They also enjoyed reading books together. Something was funny here! The nice thing about Nolan is he seems very ready to laugh. That's a good thing to keep me grounded and remember the important things in life.
We went to my parents for some birthdays, and this is what we found when we got there! THis never happens, so I took a picture. It didn't last long, but he looked so sweet...
Here he is later with his cousins Layla and Brooklan. They all enjoyed jamming on the piano together. IT is really hard to get good pictures of them when the move so fast though...

Another thing Nolan has been really into lately...building with his mega blocks. He will spend quite a while making garages for his car, robots, turtles, and houses. He usually does it by himself, but every now and again, he will ask us to help him out. He's very particular about how you build them, so watch out!

One day Nolan asked me :

Mama, are you a princess?

My response...

Ah, sure I am...Are you prince?

His response...

No mama, I'm a prince.

Ok. I thought that was kinda cute. Now whenever I wear a skirt or dress Nolan asks me if I'm a princess. Not sure where he got it, but I thought it was pretty cute. I love that he is thinking about things and seems to be putting two and two together. Kids grow up so stinking fast...

Oh, and here are a couple pictures of his new haircut. It needed to be done even though he's really not a big fan. I think it is super cute though, don't you? FYI, the car was his prize after he let us cut his hair. It was not an easy task, but we got it done. I must throw out a special thanks to Laurie for all of her help. Without you, this haircut would not have happened, and I have to say the stylist did a great job with a little boy who was upset ans moving like crazy.
