June Round Up

Nolan really has come a long way in the past couple of months.  We're still dealing with some biting here and there and of course, toddler deafness, but he's saying more and more every day.

Nolan has always been a talker, but it is so nice to finally understand him.  He has been wonderful with communicating about where he wants to go, if he wants to do something, and of course if he wants to eat.  He is so smart and pretty much has the entire UWS memorized.  He normally can tell me where we're heading!   Summertime means ice cream and other yummy frozen treats.  Nolan can see, and start yelling for, ice cream two blocks away.  I do my best to walk around the places, but sometimes I do give in.  Who doesn't like frozen treats when it's 90+ outside.

We went to Jones Beach on Long Island and had so much fun in the pool and at the beach.  Nolan has no fear of water, and he was been doing so well with jumping off the side of the pool, blowing bubbles in the water and practicing his kick, kick, kick!

With the hot temps, we've had to spend a little more time inside then normal, but Nolan is doing so well with playing by himself!!! This is very exciting for me, and it has allowed me to get a few more things done around the apt.  He loves superhero's like Batman, aka MatMan!  All of the billboards around NYC introduced him to these guys a little early!  He also loves to "cook" for me, "Mama, I cook."  He has also started to call himself by his name, Nowan :0 It's really cute to see him understand who he is in the mirror and in pictures!

Waiting for his dad and Papa Dave before the Met's v. Cardinal's game

Same Stick Dancer, different band

Trip to the amazing Bronx Zoo.  The gorilla exhibit was so awesom.  

Just trying to stay cool in the city.  Most parks and playgrounds have some sort of water!

Nolan loves to run around at the World Famous Lincoln Center.  He somehow figured out that he can fit inbetween the beams.  Curious George!

16 Handles, our fav spot of that cool treat I talked about above. 

A little me time in Philly.  Pit seaction for Tim McGraw! What a fun afternoon.
