Happy 10 month Birthday

10 months...wow!

million dollar smile

Mom Mom always says that Nolan has a million dollar smile. And she is right. Everywhere we go people comment on his smile, and he is always flashing it!

toys?

Nolan has always loved to play with non-toy items. Here he is playing with the blinds from the sliding glass door. Who knew they could be so much fun?
Also today, he played his first game of ball with Daddy, which had him belly laughing. Last Saturday he started playing with a ball at the bridal shower we attended. He pushes the ball with his hands and then chases it. Almost like soccer with hands.

dancing

Nolan has discovered a new joy...dancing. He kneels in front of the refrigerator and bounces up and down and flaps his arms. He prefers dancing to the alphabet song. Today, Nolan took his dancing skills to all new levels and danced along with Ellen while we watched TV.

one step

Nolan took his first step today. I knew this day would be here soon because he is such a mover, but I am still in shock that he actually took a step. Mom Mom was there to see it too! He was facing Mom Mom and showing her a candy bowl by pointing to it and talking. Then he took one side step to get closer, and he didn't even fall. I am not sure Nolan realized that he moved independently, but Mom Mom and I sure were excited. If walking follows the same pattern as his other movement, he will be running around the house by Saturday!

Super Bowl

Nolan watched his first Super Bowl and had dinner in front of the TV for the first time. He loved watching the game and pointing to the players. He does a modified point with an open hand. He was squealing at everything. Then it was off to explore the house.
