No need to crawl, just roll

Today I decided that I would make at least *one* dinner (from scratch) while on my maternity leave. I figured 6 months off should equate to one home-cooked meal for my hubby. (By the way, I made a chicken casserole, and it was delicious!)

So while I'm cooking away in the kitchen, and I let Nolan roll and play around in the living room. I turned away from him for literally 1 minute, and the little man had rolled almost 3 feet across the room!

This guy has figured out how to get around without crawling...just roll to the desired destination!

My Nolan Bear is amazing!

Always missing the action!

For a few weeks now, Nolan has been able to flip from his belly to his back. Almost every time I put him on his belly, he'd roll right over.

However, I had not *witnessed* him rolling over on from his back to his belly. I found him in his crib ~2 weeks ago on his belly, so he obviously had made the flip....of course I missed it :(
Then again this morning, I was working on his "rollover technique" with him, and he *almost* flipped from his back to his belly - but his poor little arm was stuck under him and he couldn't quite make the entire flip. So I left the room for 2 minutes (nature called!), and voila! He had done a full flip from his back to his belly, and in his "push-up" position! But, of course, I failed to witness that one, either. Sigh.

Oh well, at least I was on the premises when it happened :)

All I have to say is: Go Nolan-man! You are one amazing baby!! You make mama proud every day!!

Run errands...or snuggle?


I have errands I want to run, by my snuggly little Nolan man fell asleep on me. I can't bring myself to move from this position - life truly doesn't get better than this. I really want to savor this time before I have to go back to work :(

Nolan walking....in a walker :)

Another great hand-me-down gift from Jenn & Jarrod: the walker! Nolan instantly loved it, definitely satisfying his I-need-to-be-moving-constantly requirement :)

Here is a video of Nolan in the walker for the first time:

Francis' Promotion! Woot!!

Today Francis got a really nice surprise from his boss - he was promoted to a Principal Engineer!!

Nolan and I couldn't be more proud!!!

Rainy day = snuggle in bed



It was kind of an overcast and rainy day today, so Nolan and I didn't get out to do too much. So it seemed like the perfect day to get into snuggle in bed and watch a cartoon.
