5 months



It seems like I just posted Nolan's 4 month post a week ago. Time is going by so fast with the little guy around. He loves his toys and blankets, and of course is putting EVERYTHING into his mouth. I'm pretty sure he's ready for solids and will start him on rice cereal this week. He had a lot of firsts this month. He went to Chicago and met his Grandpa Dave, Uncle Phil and went to his first concert. He was also at most of the Knicks preseason events, including the Knicks City Dancer reveal party at the Empire Hotel Rooftop.

He also went to the Kid's dance team and interactive team tryouts. He has sort of been the unofficially game ops mascot! He continues to try and roll over and loves staring at himself in the mirror.
He is very chatty but is also a very close listener. It seems like he really looks at and focuses on whoever is speaking. He loves to talk to and meet new people. He has been better about sleeping at night, and we are starting to get serious about keeping with a bedtime routine.....Bottle, books and bed! I read him Curious George for the first time and he was kicking like crazy. I think he has a thing for monkeys! He now can flip to his side, kick himself in a 360 circle and can throw. UH OH! I'm also pretty sure he's a righty, sorry Shawn!

Lolla ChiTown







We had a great long weekend in Chicago. My brother and sister were there for Lollapalooza and Shawn's brother and sister live there, so we had a meeting of the siblings! Shawn's dad was also there and met Nolan for the first time. Thanks to Shawn's sister we were able to enjoy two days of Lollapalooza and a Cubs game with my brother. We had so much fun with backstage passes and even took Nolan to see Rebelution. We were on stage for their show, and Nolan loved almost every minute. He made it through 40 minutes of the 45 minute set.....not bad for his first concert!
