Our Trip to Springfield

We took our first trip with Nolan since he was six weeks old this weekend. We drove up to Springfield, IL to see Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Linda and to visit some historical places. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible and we were only able to see Lincoln's Home. Better luck next time. Either way, it was nice to visit. On the trip up and back, Nolan slept. I thought that he looked so adorable, so I just had to take a picture. Nothing better than a sleeping baby!

Where does time go?

I know, I know... it has been almost a month since I have posted on here. What can I say? I am a busy mommy with a limited amount of time to get on the internet, and the times that I am on, I am working on school work.


Let's see... Nolan has been doing great, for the most part. I can not believe that he will be 11 months this week. And I really can't believe that I am currently planning his FIRST birthday! My baby is getting so big. He is still not walking just yet, but he is still crawling and cruising the furniture faster than ever. He has quite the attitude on him and knows what strings to pull to get what he wants. He is too smart for his own good!Nolan has also began to say more words... Dada has always been in his vocab. He now says momma (on a rare basis when he is super tired), he always says dog (well, it isn't exactly dog, it is more like "do", but we know what he means) and he often says "Cissy". Yes, that is right he says Cissy, Grandma and Grandpa's dog's name! And it is so stinking cute! Sometimes he calls Alabama Cissy, but then we correct him to call her a dog. Otherwise, we do not know of any other words that he is saying, although he often mimics sounds of words that we make, which at times, is not a good thing!

Nolan experienced his first ear infection these past couple of weeks. He was miserable and I felt terrible for him. He seems to be feeling better, but he sometimes tugs on his ears still. Let's hope this ear infection has gone away. And lastly, Nolan has FINALLY decided to sleep through the night!!!! We are going on 10 nights of continuous sleep. It is a miracle... there is a God!!! I never realized how great a full night of sleep could be!!! (As you can tell, I am ecstatic over this new revelation!)


Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while. I will make more of an effort to post things. I have been ridiculously and have not had a chance. Until next time...
