Indiana

Christmas Part 2 in Indiana. Nolan loved getting a whole new set of toys and books!!

Nolan loves his Auntie Amy.

Nolan's thinking "where the heck am I?" He quickly come around and had so much fun with Auntie Katie J.

The Meeting of the cousins. How cute are these two?!?! For the most part Nolan was pretty sweet to his baby cousin Miles.

Uncle Phil is so great with both of the boys. Clearly, Nolan loves him!

Shawn's grandpa was in the hospital when we got to Indiana. Can you tell that he got a pacemaker/defibrillator the day before? He's doing great, and Nolan had so much fun meeting his Great Grandpa.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got TROUBLE on our hands. Nolan has decided that he wants to get into everything! He's crawling, pulling himself up and finding his way into every corner of our little apartment. Nolan's new nickname is "The Ram!" Out of the blue he'll start to ram him head into whatever is around him. My chest, his dad and pillows are his favorite. One of the parents in our playgroup started to call him "bruiser."

Now that he passed the 9 month mark, he's been eating non-stop, or so it feels like it to me! He loves all table food. I even made him a grilled cheese last week. I've been so lucky to have such a good eater, and now he really likes to feed himself. He doesn't like me to put food in his mouth, he'd much rather take it from my hand and fee himself.

Nolan is very opinionated and persistent. He'll let you know if he wants something or doesn't like what he's doing at that time. He's also started to dance, and I love it. When a good beat is going on his little bootie is shaking!! In October I didn't even know what the TV show Yo Gabba Gabba was. Now we watch it at least once a day. Nolan will stand, dance, clap and watch all 20+ minutes of the show. Other then that he doesn't really pay attention to the TV (thankfully.)

Just like every month past, Nolan is still very verbal. He now says, dada, mama and his favorite, go go go. He also loves to say dada dada when I say mama mama to him! He'll also whisper back and forth with me, especially when he's on his changing table. It's soooo cute.
