We started a new session of classes at the rec center, and this round, we decided to try out a Messy Friday art class with our besties. Nolan was immediately more comfortable in the class than any other he's taken since he had his buddy Hudson there with him, and they both seem to enjoy the weekly arts and crafts each class offers. This week, they got down and dirty with paint!
Nolan insisted on rocking in the rocking chair with his baby shish-ter and all of his stuffed animal friends.
He started playing with one of my old Cabbage Patch Dolls, calling her sissy, and picked her up one afternoon, totally random, and started rocking her saying, "I Love Sissy", "Sissy, Love You!" which made me melt into a million pieces. When I tried to record it, he just decided to talk a lot of gibberish to her, instead.
Nolan turned TWO and we celebrated with a fun Sesame Street party with all of his closest friends and family! We also had a low-key birthday at home on his actual birth-day.
The morning after his birthday, we set up his new basketball hoop, which he has been obsessed with ever since. When he makes baskets, he's now learned to say, "Swish!"
When the weather warmed up, we headed outside to ride our Lightning McQueen car (or KaChow, as Nolan likes to call him).
I snapped a picture of the ever-so-styled dude before our Preschool class at the rec center one morning. He's too much with those glasses.
Nolan played in his awesome new Sesame Street tent from Auntie Stacey and absolutely loves it!
We went grocery shopping and I finally caved and let Nolan ride in the humongous car cart, and other than it being ridiculous to push and getting all the stares, he absolutely loved it and made grocery shopping a little bit easier that day.
He sported his adorable Star Wars robe that Auntie Erin and Uncle Jeremy gave him for his birthday, as I squealed with excitement over how adorable he looked in it (don't mind the hat, he insisted on taking his picture with it on).
I tried videotaping him singing Let It Go, from Frozen, now that he likes to sing songs (or his version of singing every 3rd word), but instead I got a typical boy-response... a burp and laughter.
Daddy and Nolan read books together before bedtime one night, and they looked like complete twins (the older Nolan gets, the more and more he looks just like his Daddy).
We visited the doctor for Nolan's 2 year checkup, and this was his first ride in the carseat forward facing since we hit the 2-year mark. He absolutely loves facing forward and gets so excited to ride in the car now (before he was getting extremely irritated and uncomfortable rear-facing, which is why we made the switch since it was acceptable for his age, height and weight).
Nolan made some handmade (literally) Elmo Thank You cards for all of his party guests, and they came out super cute!
We hit the 24-week mark in this pregnancy!
I started some major shopping for the babe's nursery, and am so excited about how it is coming along!
Nolan had an absolute blast at his Messy Friday class when they got to play with shaving cream! At first he was a little hesitant about the huge mess, but soon enough, he got right in and played away. He thought hiding the toys in it and making "castles" was the coolest thing, and Mommy thought the colors were pretty sweet, too.
We definitely were lacking on the pictures and videos this month... between all of our activities, classes, being sick and just plan 2-year old craziness and all-over-the-placeness.... it's hard to document everything! We'll try better next month!!
