gorilla boy



Nolan has taken to imitating a gorilla by pretending to burp. I few weeks ago Nolan let out a big bubble and Grandmom told him he sounded like a gorilla. Since then he pretends to be a gorilla every day. He says "I'm just like a gorilla" and makes this horrible loud noise.

spring



With spring weather finally here, Nolan is enjoying feeling the grass on his toes.
At his two year appointment on April 10 he was 37 inches tall and 30 pounds.
Some funny things Nolan is saying now:
"no mommy it's actually a truck"
"I just want to feel the grass on my toes"
"I'm just saying no"
"Silly Daddy and Nolan took Mommy's car"

Daddy is 30


Matt turned 30 on April 16.
No surprise party for him, but he did get a new tv and a monster truck. I am not sure who is enjoying the truck more, Matt or Nolan. When Nolan wants a turn to drive he says, "I want to work like a team." This is the phrase I use with him to get past the "do it by myself" phase he is in.

Easter







Nolan's 3rd Easter was a lot of fun. We had a great egg hunt with all of his cousins and ate a lot of food at Grandmom's house.

Easter Eggs






We dyed our Easter Eggs late on Saturday night. Nolan was very excited to get into those cups of dye. He spent a lot of time coloring each egg and add sparkles and stickers after it was dyed.
Look at how Daddy and Nolan both concentrate very hard on the project at hand. They also both stick out their tongues when they are concentrating.

Nolan is 2







Nolan's 2nd birthday was wonderful. We woke up in the morning and opened presents which was so fun. We sang happy birthday all day (this is one of his favorite songs to sing, and he can sing the whole thing by himself now). We went to Chic-Fil-A with Michael and Robby, and then we went to a doctor's appointment. The doctor who saw us was the same doctor who delivered Nolan 2 years ago on Easter Sunday.
At night when Daddy got home we had dinner and sang Happy Birthday about 16 times with candles. Nolan can even sing some of the Schanberger extended versions of Happy Birthday complete with hand motions.

birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's














Nolan had his 2nd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's. He absolutely loves it there. On several occasions he has woken up in the morning and said "let's go to Chuck E Cheese's tonight". He was so excited to get there and see his friends. On the way he said "I want to see mine friends" over and over.
The party turned out great. The kids played and ran around and had a blast. Nolan was so excited when Chuck E Cheese came out to sing happy birthday. Of course we sang two times!
