Half Birthday!

I'll be posting some Christmas pictures soon, but before we get to that, there's a certain special little man who is celebrating his half birthday today...
I cannot believe Nolan is 6 months old already. I wish there was a "pause" or at the very least a "slow down" button to push because he is growing up way too fast!


Nolan continues to be a pure joy in our lives. We get comments all the time about what a happy little baby he is and they are right. As long as he's fed and not too sleepy, he's as happy as can be!

He is now rolling all over the place (no more leaving him on beds or couches while I do something else!) and has recently starting putting EVERYTHING in his little mouth (including his toes...I think he just likes to show off his flexibility for us all!

We have tried a few solid foods so far, but he only seems to really like one food...mommy's milk! He is actually enjoying bananas somewhat too but everything else gets blown right out when he prefers to blow "blueberries" with it.

For a few months now he has been sleeping from 8 p.m. to about 4 a.m. at night, eating and then going back to bed until about 8 a.m. I was pretty happy with this schedule, but now he seems to be extending his night until about 6:30-7:00 a.m. which really makes me happy!!

He's definitely our smallest baby, but is super tall and still growing like a champ. He can sit by himself for a bit and I know it won't be too long until he can do it for longer periods of time.

He loves bouncing up and down in his exercauser or lying on the floor with all of his many toys. Of course between the four of us who want to be squeezing him, he ends up in somebody's arms for most of the day. I think between us all he also ends up with about a thousand kisses on those little cheeks everyday!

We just love this little man so much...I mean look at him!! How could you not fall instantly in love with this sweet boy?!?!

Oh my word, he looks so much like Abby in that last picture! Super cute. It's fun to read about him and all the things he's doing. Everett still won't really eat baby food. What the heck? Anyway, happy half birthday little Nolan-man
