Nolan and Daddy spent time talking to each other one night. He loves to babble and just listen to us talk to him, back and forth conversation couldn't be any cuter!
One morning, when getting ready for our day, I realized we needed to do some reorganization of Nolan's closet and drawers when we put this outfit on and saw some shins! We tried on lots of clothes and realized that we had a huge growth spurt! This is just the first of many we've had throughout the month. I sadly packed all his newborn clothes away, and busted out his 0-3 months, and even a few of his 3-6 months clothes (towards the end of the month)!
Nolan started swinging and hitting his toys on his playmat.
He was adorable doing his ever-so-hated tummy time on the Boppy. This is the only way he doesn't scream, and only for a couple minutes at a time. Needless to say, we don't get much tummy time done around this house!
I snapped a picture of the cutest naked baby!
We had lunch at Mission Hills Park with Denise and Abbi one afternoon. The weather looked nice, but ended up being super windy and cold! These two weren't fans.
Jason and I went out by ourselves for the first time since Nolan came into our lives. We left him with my mom for a few hours while we enjoyed an afternoon out at Lake Las Vegas for the Brew's Best Beer Festival (we go every time, twice a year). It was so hard for me and I was a cry baby, even though I knew he would be fine with my mom (and he did do fine). I only managed to take one picture while we were out, enjoying ourselves! We had a great time, but I couldn't wait to get back to snuggle my little guy! When we came back to pick him up, I felt like I never wanted to leave him again! I hope it gets easier!
I caught the smush having a meltdown on camera. Love his pouty faces and that lip melts me every.single.time.
Nolan turned eight weeks old!
Nolan had his 2 month well check, which also meant his 2 month shots! I was particularly not looking forward to this. He actually did really well! He cried for a bit (the worst cry I've ever heard!) but after about three minutes, he was totally fine. He slept most of the rest of the evening, and that night, he was really lethargic. I was a little worried, but knew it was pretty normal and decided to check his temperature. He had his first fever of 101.1 (again, another normal thing with vaccines, luckily I was aware of this), we gave him some fever reducer, and his fever went away by the next afternoon. It wasn't as terrible as I thought, but I'm not looking forward to his next appointment at 4 months to do it all over again! Poor guy.
He was so tired one afternoon, he fell asleep getting his diaper changed on his changing pad! Since we were in his nursery, I decided to try to let him nap in his crib to see how he would do. He did great! We now let him sleep in his crib during the day for his naps, but at night he's still in the Pack N' Play in our room. He looked so cute that first time he slept in his crib!
We hung out with Harley on the couch and all snuggled one afternoon.
The District started a farmer's market on Thursday afternoons, so we went to check it out with our friends Denise and Abbi. It was really small with only a few booths, but still worth getting out of the house to walk around and enjoy the nice weather! We bought some veggies and some honey sticks, and while Denise and Abbi went home, we met up with Jason for an early dinner at Lucille's. This was Nolan's first outing to a restaurant for dinner, and I was really nervous he would wake up and scream his head off while we were eating. He did so great and kept himself entertained the whole time!
Nolan turned two months old!
We received our Britax carrier in the mail and we decided to try it out around the backyard to enjoy the nice weather. Nolan hated facing inwards, but somewhat enjoyed facing out. We'll have to practice with it more so he gets used to it. He's working on his neck strength and needs to get a bit stronger before we go full out with it!
We had breakfast at The Cracked Egg one Sunday morning, which is always delicious. Nolan slept through the whole time.
We celebrated Nolan's first St. Patrick's Day!
The bumbo was brought out on multiple occasions and we got some more practice with his neck muscles. He really enjoys sitting up so he likes the bumbo chair, but only for a max of about 20 minutes. After that, he gets frustrated and is over it!
Almost a month ago, Nolan started smiling and laughing at the picture above our bed. It's one of our engagement photos that is blown up, and at first we thought he was just smiling at the wall or something random. The more he did it though, the more we realized it was consistent with that photo, and the first thing he does when you face him in that direction is look up at the wall and smile! It is the cutest thing and we like to think he loves looking at his Mommy and Daddy in love. :) This is the only video I have of him doing it, he somehow gets camera shy every time I try to record it!
We let Nolan try out the highchair one night when he was fussing. He actually really enjoyed it and totally surprised me that he could sit well enough in it! We got to enjoy our whole dinner with him by our side, talking and hanging out with us! Some nights he doesn't like it, but we definitely utilize the high chair during dinner as much as we can!
We had a bath one night, and Nolan became the absolute most adorable puppy!
He hung out with Sophie the Giraffe that was sent from Aunt Denise and Uncle Georges, all the way from France! This Sophie is the real deal.... straight from Paris!
We joined the Luks' one afternoon for lunch at The District and spent some more time outside, hanging out and catching up. The kids played and we chatted, and I again forgot to snap pictures! Next time!
I caught Nolan looking SO chunky while taking a nap in his bouncer. Chunk!
Our good friends Dustin and Desa came into town to visit, and we spent a whole afternoon catching up with them and having them meet Nolan (again, NO pictures, ugh!) A few days after their visit here in town, they got engaged! We are SO happy for them and can't wait for their big day! Congrats again, guys!
We took a walk at Mission Hills Park with Harley one Sunday morning, enjoying the amazing weather! Nolan wore his cool old man floppy hat and Harley loved getting out of the house finally!
Nolan turned ten weeks old!
I caught this little guy escaping out of his swaddle after his nap one afternoon, and he thought he was SO sneaky and funny!
Harley had his teeth cleaned and got caught up on his vaccines, and spent the next day extremely lethargic and drugged up on the anesthesia. Poor puppy, but it made for some funny pictures!
Nolan wakes up in the morning SO happy to see me next to him and he's the absolute cutest at this time. I took a quick video of just a glimpse of how happy he is!
I got some snuggles in while rocking Nolan to sleep, before putting him down for a nap.
Nolan took a selfie and sent it to all his Aunties on Snapchat.
Finally, we took advantage of the Easter Bunny arriving at the mall, and Nolan got to snuggle with the creepy bunny and take an adorable picture with him! Jason wanted to get these pictures done ASAP, because he had no desire to wait for an hour to get pictures done. I felt weird going before it was even April, but we went the last Monday (the 31st) after Jason got off work, and luckily, he was right and we didn't have to wait at all! Nolan looked right at the camera with the tiniest smirk. He wouldn't smile, but he was totally calm and enjoyed talking to the Easter Bunny after the pictures were over. Too cute!
Can't wait for next month with the weather warming up and celebrating more holidays and some more friends visiting! ...Until then!
