'I saw boats on the waters!'

'Sky is on top of the house!'

'Poo-poo diaper.' Then proceeds to lift his leg and points...'Mommy, smell!'

'Mommy...NOW!'

Mommy: 'Now, what do you say?'
Nolan: 'Thank you, Daddy's Car.'

Mommy: 'Now, what do you say?'
Nolan: 'Thank you, Mommy.'
Mommy: 'Your welcome, Nolan'
...10 seconds later...
Nolan: 'Welcome.'

'Ambulance-car', 'Mail-car', 'Police Car-car', 'Helicopert'

After sitting on the airplane for 3 hours and waiting to de-plane, Nolan reaches up and touches the overhead bins. 'I touched the big airplane!!!' As if sitting in the seat for this whole time wasn't touching anything.

'Uncle Ben's Big Truck'

'I see Conor and Maddox! I see Conor and Maddox on the TB!'

As we pull out of the garage...'I go backwards.'

After putting his finger in my belly button...
'I touch the baby!'
After pulling his finger out of my belly button and then holding it up...
'I got the baby!'
Mommy: 'If only it were that easy, Nolan...if only it were that easy.'

Long Lost Photos of Snowman

I wasn't here for this fun project. Nolan and Chris were having a Bachelor's weekend while I was in San Francisco. This was the remainder of our last big snowstorm and Chris decided that it was time to build Nolan his first snowman. I guess Nolan was pretty proud of it, because when Sophie decided to tear off the snowman's arm...Nolan got really upset and yelled at her.

Nolan's going to be a big brother!!

It's official! We are announcing our big news! Some of you know, some of you do not. We wanted to wait until the first trimester is over, but there is no hiding my condition! I'm pregnant! I'm 11 weeks along, so that first trimester will be over soon. I haven't been feeling well...at all. I've been sick several times since I found out I was pregnant, 2 ear infections, strep throat and a upper respitory infection. Fun stuff!! BUT I'm on the downhill side of the second ear infection, so that's good. It's just preventing me from getting in the pool, which is my main source of exercise. I have had a lot of morning sickness, as many moms can tell you is a misnomer, it's ALL DAY/ALL NIGHT sickness. But mostly I've been really fatigued, so I'm ready for the second trimester and that lovely burst of energy. It will also help when our weather changes and we finally see the sunshine. I've attached our first sonogram photo...this was our 8 weeks appointment, so it was taken about 2 weeks ago. It might be hard to see, but that little snowman shaped blob is the baby!! Nolan likes to 'kiss the baby' which is my bare belly! The other day he put his finger in my belly button and pulled it out and said 'I got the baby!', holding his finger up in the air!! I only wish it were that easy!!
