Harley snuggled a lot with Nolan and I captured two adorable pictures this month of these two:
Nolan turned three weeks old!
Towards the end of his third week of life, Nolan lost his umbilical cord! Finally! I was starting to think he would go to preschool with that thing on.
We celebrated our first Valentine's Day with Nolan and took extremely cute pictures to send to our friends.
Nolan celebrated his four week and one month birthday!
I bought the cutest pillow from Etsy to put in Nolan's nursery. I plan on taking his monthly photos with him next to it to track his growth over the first year. It's a special part of his nursery that I plan to keep with him until he goes off to college, or until he's too cool for it. :) Check out the Etsy shop here.
We hung out with our friends from work, Denise, and her baby who is 2 1/2 months older than Nolan. They came over for lunch and later in the week, we returned the favor and went on a walk with them in their neighborhood! These two will be good friends growing up!
We went to Bouchon at the Venetian to celebrate Valentine's Day brunch, just a day after Valentine's Day since Jason had to work. The food was amazing and it was so nice to get out of the house and enjoy a nice meal somewhere! It was Nolan's first restaurant experience and he did great! He slept the entire time in his stroller, and the weather was so nice, we got to sit outside next to the cute fountain. I think the sound of the water helped him zonk out with all of the noise!
Nolan snuggled his sock monkey from his Auntie Desa and Uncle Dustin and looked extra adorable in his raccoon PJs.
He enjoyed bath time and showed off his recent weight gain with lots of leg rolls (my favorite)!
I ordered some personalized mommy necklaces from Etsy and loooooove the way they both came out. I knew I wanted one of these necklaces before Nolan even arrived. I couldn't decide between silver or gold since I wear both types of jewelry often... so I splurged and got both! I love them a ton and plan on wearing one every single day. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with personalization of anything Nolan! (see the Etsy shops here and here).
We've started a decent amount of playtime on the playmat, where Nolan likes to look at the lights and music, and has become slightly obsessed with checking himself out in the mirror. He will smile, squeal and have conversations with the adorable baby in the mirror... He must know that he's just too cute! One afternoon, he talked up a storm so much, that he tired himself out and passed out on the mat.
We snuggled on the couch as a family of three while Jason was at work.
We hung out with the Luks' family, and Scarlett was SO happy to hang out with Nolan and wanted to do everything with him! She asked to show him her toys, to sit next to him, to watch movies with him, and if he could watch her do a front roll, haha! We snapped some adorable pictures of the kiddos and she felt so proud holding him!
We transitioned Nolan into his Pack N' Play to sleep at night. He had been sleeping in the Rock N' Play, but we wanted him to get used to a flat surface before transitioning him into his crib. He did great, and after a few tosses and turns, he slept the same as he has been sleeping since we brought him home. It was much harder for me to transition than for him! Soon we will remove the napper (
Nolan turned six weeks old!
We did some more snuggling when the weather turned rainy, and baby boy made me melt with his hand on my heart.
We did some more playtime on his playmat which he loves! He had a lot to say to that baby in the mirror!
For all the time we spend on our playmat, he really hates tummy time and exercising his muscles. We try to get a few minutes in each day, but he usually screams after a minute or so. We need lots of practice... any tips on how to do tummy time with a baby who hates it would be greatly appreciated! I did manage to get five minutes of time on his Boppy, and took a few pictures for proof!
I snapped more pictures of Sir Chubs a Lot. I love a chunky baby and love that mine is turning into one!
That was all of February for us! Stay tuned for March!
