Thanks Uncle Ben and Aunt Amanda!!

Nolan has been taking a soccer class in Greenwich on Saturday mornings. Of course, I think he is the most talented, most coordinated 2 year old in the class, but I might be a little partial...just a little! Last year Ben and Amanda got Chris some pop up goals for his birthday. This summer Nolan and Daddy have been using them regularly to practice for his soccer class. Yesterday, Uncle Ben and Aunt Amanda sent Nolan a Team USA kit. He LOVES wearing soccer kits and wanted to put it on IMMEDIATELY. Chris set up the goals and had a little 'training' session with him. So these pictures are possible because of Ben and Amanda. Thanks again guys!!!! Do you think Arsenal is calling? 

The World According to Nolan...

According to Nolan...

'Boys have pee-pees...girls have shirts.'

IT'S A BOY!!!

We found out yesterday that Rhodes Baby #2 is indeed a boy. The ultrasounds looks good and he's measuring within normal ranges.  So all of that is reassuring. The doctor had to look at his face to check for cleft palates and in doing so switched it to a 3-D image. So we have a close up of his sweet little face!! It's a little weird and super cool all at the same time. Sorry about the scans being so dirty, but I thought you would all like to see our second little man. 

So Daddy went to Texas...

SAVE THE DATE!

June 12th is the date of our anatomy scan. Tune in here!! Then we can start discussing baby names!

The Quotable Nolan Rhodes...

'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.
