Kids: Some old photos, for comparison when I post some new ones

The boys early last summer at Elise's "grad"

A BBQ at Neesh and Deans later summer.......Nolan imitating a hippo

I can't find the new pics I thought I'd downloaded, but will post again soon. Will be interesting to look at the last 9 months changes in how he looks. Personality wise, he is getting more effectively vocal at an amazing rate. He has been heard to say "What the hell was that?" - ummm, note to self, HE IS LISTENING, AND REMEMBERS EMPHATIC COMMENTS VERY ACCURATELY. It also makes life easier to have him talking more - when he and Evadnie got in one afternoon from an outing he said "I'm hungry, I'd like chicken, potatoes, and juice." Specific. And, he also remembered what was in the fridge.
More on personality: on the metrosexual side, Nolan has developed a liking for Angelina Ballerina, a show with a nice girl mouse who dances, and in his enthusiasm will do some pretty decent ballet moves.. It also has a more complex plot-storyline so he is getting more sophisticated about following stories. On the testosterone side, he also likes taking his red truck into the tub, and throws trains off the couch shouting "No!!!! Crash!!!!!", and head butted me so hard the other day- inadvertently, just being excitable- that I saw stars. Not sure where this fits in on the feminine-masculine balance,but he loves running around the house naked when opportunity arises.
A balanced child.
