Things have just been pretty normal around here lately. Work, crawling,and hanging out! Nolan is having a blast exploring the world and making messes along the way! His favorite thing to do is pull all of the DVD's, controllers, remotes, c.d.'s, cables, etc. off of the shelves that are built into our entertainment center. He probably does it about 4 times a day- most often after I have just cleaned it up! But I promised myself that I would never complain about cleaning up a mess, just as long as Nolan was on the move! We are now working on climbing and walking along things. He is getting stronger and more confident by the day! And boy, is he ever happy! Also new these past few weeks is the transition to one nap! He is able to make it to about noon or so each day and has been starting to take a pretty decent afternoon nap. By bed time he is definitely ready to go down and has been sleeping about 12 or 13 hours each night.
I have one more week to teach and then I'll be off for three weeks! Nolan and I can't wait to spend every day together. We will also be going on a little adventure together. We will be flying to Michigan to visit our best friends, The Sloothaaks. Jill and John just had their second child, a daughter- Rowan Caroline. So Nolan and I are going out to meet Rowan, help around the house, love on Trey, and enjoy a whole week of life with them! I'm a little anxious about the plane ride, but I'm sure with a DVD player and tons of snacks we'll be set! While we are there we will also get to see my parents and grandma in Whitehall for the day. It will be SO good to see them! And I'm planning on taking Nolan to see CALVIN and to visit with my 2nd Heyns roommates. Also over my break, my mom will be coming out to Denver for the week of her Spring Break. It will be nice to spend the days together and for Nolan to get a lot of Grandma time!
Well, that's about all for now. Here are some pictures from our day to day life with the big guy!
Mark is helping coach the Varsity baseball team at Denver Christian High school. He loves baseball, is a tremendous 2nd baseman and coach to the infielders, and still looks pretty good in those tight pants! He's already working on strengthening Nolan's left arm- maybe he'll be a left handed pitcher some day! :) But in the mean time, Nolan just enjoys wearing Mark's hat. Go D.C.!
Our good friends Rick and Mandy have a Boxer named Murphy. At small group the other night, Nolan had a blast chasing after her, getting licked all over, petting her, and even trying to have a little dinner with her! We love for him to get his dog fixes when he can!
