noodles


I pulled these noodles out of my therapy bag, and they were an instant hit! Nolan loves them so much that he asks to play with them all day. And he knew to climb right into the noodles and start throwing them everywhere.

Little Monkey is Nolan's new nickname. He is a nonstop mover, and now a nonstop climber too. He had been trying to get up onto the couch for about 2 weeks, and now he can do it. Not only does he climb on the couch, but he climbs into baskets, onto stools, onto tupperware containers, and into the bathtub. I am pretty sure that this new climbing trick means big trouble!
And yes, that is me in the background playing the Wii.

Taylor


We went to visit Taylor last week, and even though Nolan has met her before, this is the first time he showed a real interest in her. It was really cute to watch Nolan look at her and point to her toes. He wanted to try to kiss her and be close. And Taylor didn't mind at all. She is so pleasant and adorable.

bicycles



It only took a year, but we finally got the bikes fixed and the child seat installed. We got the front mounted bike seat so we could talk and interact more with Nolan while we rode. We had so much fun. Nolan checked out all the birds and trees and pointed and talked about them.

hello roomie



Nolan and I visited with Chase and Christina, and the boys finally noticed each other. Not only did they notice each other, they really liked each other! They hugged and kissed and did a little talking. PSU here they come.

We love spring








Nolan loves being outside in the beautiful weather. He could walk on the back porch for hours looking at birds and airplanes and grass and the dogs. He claps his hands, dances and spins in circles. He also likes to stick leaves and sticks through the fence. On Thursday we tried out the hose, and it was a real hit. Nolan splashed in the water and stomped in the puddles.

Happy Birthday Daddy


Matt turned 29 on April 16! We went out to dinner and then celebrated with an ice cream cupcake.
