I'm a big boy now!

Lately I have been looking at my boys and thinking..."Where did my babies go?" Heath of course is still a tiny guy, but he is sleeping almost through the night, eating more, laughing a lot, sitting in the Bumbo for little bits of time, and he even rolled over once!

And don't get me started on Nolan- he has slept in a bunk bed for 3 months, and is starting to potty train! He has successfully gone pee in the potty numerous times, and has recently, as he and his daddy like to call it- "dropped a deuce" in his very own toilet 2 times now! (Wow. I never realized how exciting going to the bathroom could be! But I am SO ready
to be done with size 5 diapers!)

And finally, this Saturday, we gave up the paci!!! Nolan had been chewing through his pacifiers and I didn't want to buy any more. So now was the time to make the break! We talked all week about his "yucky pacis" and how if he was a big boy he could trade it in at Target for some new Cars! And that's exactly what we did! Nolan was so excited, he ran into Target, picked out his cars, ran to the cash register, put his cars up on the belt, and "paid" for his new toys with his paci. He had no trouble giving it away, and he has slept great during naps and bed time! I am so proud of my big boy!

These past months have been HUGE for him, and a lot of change! A new baby brother, new room, new bed, new potty, and now NO MORE PACI! He has been such a good boy lately and his expanding vocabulary has made it so much fun to be with him! He constantly amazes us with his new words and cracks us up with his funny personality!

I posted a BUNCH of pictures of our BIG boys!

Celebrating with a hotdog!

He will probably hate us for posting this picture someday! But he spends a lot of time here these days!

Looking Handsome!

What a sweet profile!

Off to run more errands with Mommy on her days off!

We are so proud of you, Nolan, and you are so grown up and a good big brother to Heath. Glad you took our nap so well today at Oma's without a paci! See you tomorrow!
