Neat

Gail sent me this today. I let Nolan watch it with me.

As Nolan was watching it he said. "It is Nolan. They are gonna get me."

I asked him if he thought it was cool. He said: "Awesome, watch again?"

(When he is coloring he will always ask us to draw him, so we draw stick people and say that is Nolan. Hence why he thought the animation stick person was him.)


The animator says it took him about three Months. Just move your pointer out of the Way and watch .

Counting in Spanish


Today was a very eventful day. I got up at 6:00am to feed and dress Nathaniel. Than I blogged(6 blogs altogether today). After that Gail and Nolan got up around 7:30ish and we headed off to try and sell a few items at Candice and Matt's garage sale. We made a whopping 23.00 dollars. Yeah. I am more happy about getting some big items out of our garage and not having to bring them back. After garage saling in the morning (bought nothing) we headed off to Dayton to visit Gail's grandparents. When we got back I gave Nolan 4 pennies to put in his piggy bank. As we were sitting there playing with the pennies out of nowhere he starts counting in Spanish all on his own. He counted to 4 in Spanish I believe he picked this up from watching Diego/Dora.

Princess I mean Prince Nolan

Should I be worried? :) Nolan found one of my Miss Teen crowns and decided he wanted to wear the crown. I thought he looked pretty cute. Daddy came home around this time from work and kept telling him boys don't wear crowns. Nolan decided to give it up then.


Waiting

Yesterday we had the famous Almas over for dinner. We ate dinner and than got down to business playing the Mexican train game. Very cool game. We had to teach the Almas how to play our house rules, however, they have some pretty cool house rules too that I want to try out. These are some pictures of Nolan before the Almas came over. He was getting hungry and decided to get his plate and cup off the table. However, whe n they got here he decided he was no longer hungry and wanted to start playing with their 4 boys and 1 girl. Thanks for coming over it was fun.

Uncle Tom

My brother Thomas surprised us yesterday. He came up on his motorcycle with one of my nieces, Tianna. This is the first time Thomas saw Nathaniel.


Motorcycle time!



Computer Time

The boys decided to show daddy a thing or two about computers.



Nolan and Nathaniel

Nathaniel looking at Nolan thinking what's your problem bro?

Nolan looks like a giant compared to Nathaniel.

Sleep & 3 months old today!!!

So last night we feed Nathaniel at 9:50 pm. He went to bed around 11:00 in his crib. Woke up at 1:00 and I figured he was hungry. So I took him out to the living room to make him a bottle. But he fell back to sleep in my arms on the couch. I too fell asleep and we did not get up until 8:00 am this morning. AWWW sleep is good!!! Now if he will just do that for us in his crib!!! :) We are going to get his 3 months pictures today. I have this great coupon that the hospital gave to us. We get a whole free package!! Yeah!! Hope they turn out, but if not at least they are free!!! :)

Sniff sniff

Well Yesterday I noticed that some of Nathaniel's 0-3 months clothes are just fitting perfect. Snug I shall say. So I decided to pack up most of them and get out the 3-6 month cloths. I kept a few 0-3 months out that ran big on him. I Can't believe how big he has gotten in the last few weeks. I also put him in his crib last night to sleep for the first time. This is a shocker for me he will be 3 months tomorrow and I already tried the crib. I did not put Nolan in the crib until 6 months. Needless to say I did fine, and so did he. I had to get up a couple times to cover him back up and give him his pacifier, and feed him. But he did well. He really likes his snoopy mobile. I just wish they would make mobiles last longer and maybe have a remote control that you could use in your bedroom to start it and stop it in their rooms.
Well my dad came out of surgery yesterday fine. He is really sore and in a lot of pain. We are hoping he will be coming home today. He has a 9 month recovery. He had back surgery. They fused some bones together. Sounds painful to me! Love ya Dad and we are praying for ya.

Update

Nathaniel will be 3 months on the 14th, but I had these photo ideas in my mind and just could not wait. Plus I have him scheduled for his 3 months pictures with Olan mills on the 14th. I have a coupon for a free package. Can't let something free go to waste now! :)

I just like the lighting and how he is
holding himself up in this picture.



He loved this monkey.
He was laughing almost
the whole time I was taking his picture.
Oh yeah I got this big monkey for $1.00




I love his look in this photo


I love the black/white one with some color!

I found this old Antique scale at a thrift store.
It works great, and it was only a dollar.
