Bring on the veggies!

Cereal, Colds, and Cuties

Nolan was introduced to cereal on April 14th.  As you can see from this photo, he wasn't too sure about it at first.  After making faces for several meals, he seems to be liking it a little better now.  He looks like a little bird as he opens his mouth and leans toward the spoon.
On April 16th, Aunt Nini got him to roll over from front to back for the first time!

Nash caught a cold yesterday so the antibacterial hand gel has been out in full force.  He gets so frustrated by his runny nose.  He races over to me saying "Mommy! My nose is coming out!"

Nolan - 4 months

Nolan turned 4 months old on April 5th. He is such a smiley guy. HE IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT NOW!!! YEAH! He started doing this right around the time he turned 4 months old. Nash didn't sleep through the night until he was 6 months old so you can imagine how excited I am. He is still breast feeding and he spits up quite a bit. But as you can tell from the pictures, he's getting plenty to eat. :0) Today Nash and I took Nolan to his 4 month checkup with Dr. Anderson. He weighs 19 pounds 12 ounces which puts him in the 95th percentile for weight. His head circumference puts him in the 75th percentile. He is 25 inches long putting him in the 50th percentile for height. Dr. Anderson told us today that we can start cereal and if he does well with that we can start vegetables and fruit. I'll keep you posted on how he does with that. He is wearing 12 month clothes! He drools a lot so I'm thinking he is teething. I remember Nash drooled for a really long time before a tooth actually popped through. I'm hoping his teeth don't pop through too soon because nursing might have to end soon after that! He is still sleeping in the pack n play in our bedroom. He has slept a few nights in his crib but it seems like he sleeps better in the pack n play. He likes to watch his brother play and is able to hold on to rattles and toys to keep himself entertained. He holds his head and chest up during tummy time but still gets frustrated after a while. He has not rolled over yet but I'm guessing it won't be long. He likes to hear himself chatter which makes me laugh. Nash says to me sometimes, "Nolan a cute baby." I agree.

Spring Has Sprung

We are so excited about the nice weather we have been having lately. Nash would spend every waking moment outside if he could. Nolan is at the age where a light breeze takes his breath away so it's been challenging at times to keep everyone happy. Our deck has come in pretty handy because it's pretty warm and usually out of the wind. We are really looking forward to more warm weather and fun in the sun!

Easter Hunt #2

Our second Easter egg hunt took place on the Saturday before Easter. Our two neighbors have a big Easter egg hunt for the neighborhood kids in their combined back yards. It's crazy thinking about where this year has gone because last time we went to this festivity, Nash was still crawling! I don't know what it is about Nash hunting for Easter eggs but I could not stop snapping pictures!
On Easter Sunday we went out to Nana and Papas house. Uncle Will and Aunt Daniele joined us along with my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Win from Illinois and my Grandma Phyliss.

Easter Egg Hunters

These pictures are from our first of two Easter egg hunts this year. Our friends the Zupancics invited us over to their house on Friday before Easter so the kids could have some fun. It was pretty breezy and the rain ended up forcing us inside. But not before the kids were able to find all of the eggs...twice. They had so much fun that the adults hid the same eggs twice.
