Bounce house slide.. so fun!! WEEE!!!
Hmm.. do i like cake? YES!
LOVED my monkey pillow pet
Love the bounce house!!
My cute construction bday shirt
My baby is ONE!! Can you believe it? I sure can't, it's crazy! im not ready for this, can we freeze time?? Nolan is such a sweet, active little boy, he and his big brother are such a blessing to our lives, I honestly can't remember what we did before this. I love my boys!!
Last weekend we had a big Construction bday bash, transformed our yard and it was awesome, we were scared the weather wasn't going to cooperate but it turned out GREAT! Nolan dug into some cake, but really didn't go to nuts with it. We had to wake him up alittle after people started arriving so it took him awhile to adjust to all the people and let loose and take off on his own, he kinda looked around thinking what is going on? We had a bounce house and all the kids, even babies and parents loved it. It was really fun! My mom and sister came up to help get everything ready, i baked the cakes and made the icing and my mom went to town decorating, then Nicki and i made a rice krispie truck, it looked cute, but tasted terrible! not sure what the problem was!?? We had construction hats for all the kids with their names and a pinata with yummy candy, and treat bags filled with tool shaped bubbles, stickers, playdough and fruit roll ups..then some construction dressed rubber duckies for the littler ones! Nolan got lots of wonderful toys,golf clubs, books, some cute clothes some new seats(pb chair and a disney saucer chair), a play tent and even a trike! He really loved his pillow pet from his Nini, he just hugged and hugged it..he is a big fan of soft fuzzy things, blankets or animals....(i think he got that from me!!) . He got a big kick out of his laughing Elmo doll too! We had a great turn out and I think everyone had fun and was worn out!! I know I was!! Bryson has enjoyed the toys probably more than even Nolan has, he thinks they are all his and gets mad when Nolan tries to push his way in to play..i have to keep reminding him of whose they are!! :)
Nolan has had a great first year, and I just can't believe how much he and Bryson are alike. They are very similar on their height and weights. both in the 97% for weight, height and head(which i figured, huge heads!) Nolan is 24.6lbs, 32", and big ol chubby feet. He has 10 teeth with more looking like they are about to start the process of breaking thru, those are such a joy. NOT! He says mamma, dadda, baabba, bye, baaa(ball) will wave, and does' more' in sign language(b taught him), claps..knows the doggie and kitty in books.. loves to read, he gets excited for our colorful books with mirrors or touch and feel, and loves the sesame street baby books also. He loves animals, goes crazy if we see a dog in person and will chase it around for as long as he can.. i'd really love to take him to a zoo soon. He understands more than he can actually say and gets his point across pretty well, with that true red-headed temper. But he is just so cute with his sparkly blue eyes, red hair and chubby cheek toothy grin, it's hard to say NO.. He is obssessed with our phone! if our bedroom door is open, he goes right for it..he even puts it up to his ear and says..DAAADAAA....it's so hilarious! then he'll carry it into the other room and just yell..DAADAAA.!!! We are trying to get off the bottle, he is usually only having one, at night to get to bed.. occasionally he will get one in the middle of the night if he's really upset and mommy wants to get back to bed. lol.. he goes off and on on the sleep, he normally does great if he's not teething.. those teeth are rough!!
Bryson and Nolan are great buddies, and in true old brother style, Bryson likes to pester him. He will put him in head locks or just wrap his arms around him hugging him too hard, i've seen nolan trying to get away pulling bryson across the floor, or here him going EEEH EEEH trying to pull away, after awhile, he's finally had enough and squeals loud... I've caught him trying to kick the baby away from him when Nolan wants something he has or wants to sit in the chair with him. He also likes to feed him bits of what he has. He thinks he is quite the big brother, which he is. The other day I picked him up alone from daycare and he said, mom wait, we forgot baby nolan!!! very concerned big bro! Nolan really lights up and squeals when he sees Bryson, I never imagined watching brothers bond would be so rewarding and just plain ADORABLE to watch! Nolan is starting to learn to fight back..we were on a walk last week in the stroller and Nolan was pounding bryson in the face with a foam bat, i could help but laugh! bryson kept saying he's hitting me, you tell him to stop but he doesnt' really understand that yet.
Well, i've written a book and could go on all day..i better wrap this up.
more later!
thanks to all friends and family for helping make Nolan's birthday so special, we love you!!
