9 months

This was the one we've been waiting for folks! We've got two teeth, with two more on the way and a crawler! Nolan has been very creative in the way he gets around until this weekend. He is finally really crawling and is loving exploring new parts of the apartment. Uh oh, we're in real trouble now.

Nolan continues to have a great personality. He does some hilarious things with his hands, including a move we call the sorcerer! He is still very vocal, and has been extra vocal and a little clingy as we wait for his teeth to come in. He loves to laugh at Shawn and I, but most of all he loves to laugh at himself. We went to the Knicks/Heat game on Friday, and he laughed and clapped until he fell asleep. He loves going to games and cheers right along with the rest of the Knick fans. It's pretty darn cute. Earlier in the month we went to a day game, and we took a few pictures on the court, then the Knicks City Kids put colored hairspray in his hair!

He is super strong and is eating like a champ. Now that he's 9 months we've added meat and berries. He loves them all and has also enjoyed samples of my food! He just sits and stares at me making a chewing motion with his jaw until I break him off a little piece of bread, veggie or whatever else is on my plate.

On the 16th, Shawn and I took him to see Santa. It was pretty hilarious. He loves meeting new people and Santa was no different. He kept looking at him and smiling, but didn't really ever smile for the camera. Oh well, I figured there would be no tears, but it was great to get through it without him being scared or sad. Next year might be a different story!
