Times they are a changin'

Nolan has been having a great visit with Oma and Opa, and we have also benefited from Dad's "handymanity".



New Nolan things:

Arms up for "SOOOO BIG!"

Takes a few steps (up to 4!)unsupported until he remembers he can't walk yet and sits down.

"Reads" for hours- enthusiastic babbling, pointing and page turning.

Sits and is bounced on my knee to the William Tell Overture (aka Lone Ranger theme, da da da, da da da, da da DA DA DA)- and shakes his head from side to side like a wild dancing baby and giggles, until he MUST be very dizzy- then when I stop, catches his breath and urges me to do it again by bouncing and shaking his head....no wonder I am having knee pain.

Eats as much as a a restrained adult. Likes potatoes, and strawberry ice cream (separately). And all forms of meat (carnivorbaby).

Is the only one who has has not demonized me for trimming his babycurls. Yes, they were cute! But? My child will not be mistaken for a girl more than once, unless he BY CHOICE starts dressing to suit his inner feminine side. He looks darn cute with the trim too.

The picture is us reading "the very hungry caterpillar" before bed a week ago. He particularly enjoys putting his finger in all the caterpillar holes. I particularly like reading out the food list on the caterpillar' s Armageddon day of excess and stomacheache. For some reason the cherry pie and sausage just KILL me. So funny.

GTG as my Bunkie needs bath, and we need to address the dishes, and and and....
