Nolan says the darndest things

Nolan has really started to say some things that make Matt and I really giggle.
Some of his favorite sayings are:
Michael pooped on the floor, Aunt Krissy cleaned it up
Mommy burn meatballs and the smoke detector goes off
Nolan needs _____ right now!!! (fill in anything in the blank)
Silly Mommy
Need check mail real quick
Miss Andrea know a coo coo song (blue's clues song)
Nolan toot on you
I love you very much honey bear
Just a little bit

two silly boys

Michael and Nolan are great pals. They love to find mischief and get into it together. One of their favorite routines here is to climb up onto the couch and do sit drops off of the couch. Of course I allow them to do this because it is my form of physical therapy. (I want to make sure they are getting plenty of gross motor input!)
They also love to share snacks. I put a snack on a kitchen chair and they run, play and eat at the same time.
Nolan loves to feed Michael snack, although Michael often turns his head and says "no." Here Nolan is bringing Michael popcorn and carefully breaking it into small bites for him.
Nolan also loves to talk about Michael and himself together. He says things like "two little nuts" and "two boys are jumping." He has even started to call him Michael Robert when he does something silly!

Silly with Playdoh

Nolan loves Playdoh! He loves the extrusion toys and the cookies cutters. He also loves to wear Playdoh on his face and ears!

swimming with Daddy

Matt has taken over swimming classes, and Nolan is really doing well. At first, Nolan didn't swim at all with Matt which was disappointing because he had been making so much progress with me. But after a few weeks, he is back to being a fish. Matt even lets him be more independent so Nolan will probably make progress much quicker!

reading

Nolan can read this book "Hello Bee" all by himself. He reads every page perfectly. Except when he is on camera, then he gets silly!

beautiful weather

We have had a few days of beautiful weather. We are lucky enough to live in walking distance of an awesome park so we can take advantage of these great days. Nolan loves to go and run up and down the ramps and go on the slides.

Singing

We have been taking music class since Nolan was about 10 months old. He loves it. He talks about Miss Andrea all the time. He tells me things like "there's Miss Andrea's car," and "Miss Andrea uses this," and "Miss Andrea does this." He talks about her every day, and sometime multiple times a day.
Because of this music class (which Nolan call moocis cass) Nolan has become quite a musician. He has been great at the instruments for a long time, and now he is a singer. He sings complete songs in his singing voice, which is usually a scream. His favorite song to sing is "Pease porridge hot." He sings this song in a funny, raspy deep voice. Just like Miss Andrea!
