Trip "Home"

This weekend we took a family trip back to Champaign. The Medvick Family and the Stein Family packed into the Medvick van and braved a 3 hour trip with an 8 year old, a 14 month old, and a 5 month old. The babies did okay... Brody didn't really love being in his seat (he wanted to sit up so badly), so he put up quite the fuss. And for some reason, every time Brody would cry, Nolan thought he needed to pitch in too. Headache city!! We made a pit stop in Tuscola to shop the outlet malls... wahoo!!! And then finished our trip to Champaign.

Visiting with family was fun, and hectic. Josiah, who is Nolan's age, was visiting from San Diego, so the house was filled with babies. Hectic, yes... Interesting, yes... Fun, yes! And of course we were able to visit some of the Champaign food staples, Monicals Pizza and Custard Cup.

We made an earlier than expected exit this morning because Nolan didn't feel very well. For some reason he threw up five times this morning. We are thinking he was catching a bug. He looked miserable. Good thing is... Nolan and Brody both slept the first hour and a half of the trip! The trip home was much easier and less eventful than the ride up. Thank Goodness! Glad we made a trip home, but with two young babies, it definitely isn't easy.

So, we have been nursing a sick baby today. Plenty of love, rest, and Pedialyte! Until next time, so long Champaign!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Fathers in my life! Here are a couple of pictures of the day!

Pool Day

Today was our first day in the little pool that we got for Nolan. We set up shop in Nana and Papa's front yard and Nolan had a ball! He splashed in the water, pulled out grass and was having the best time of his life. Here are some pictures of his day! So cute!

A Nolan Update!

Wow... way too long... almost a month! I am super sorry. I have just been really busy and have not had much time with a real computer to blog on! Unfortuneately I can't do it from my BlackBerry, otherwise I would post almost daily!

Anyway, Nolan is growing like a weed! He is such a big boy. He has an extended vocabulary these days and he never ceases to amaze me. He still has a favorite word, "HOT", but he has recently picked up "SIT". The 5 year old at daycare quickly pointed out that Nolan's new word sounds like the bad word... and I think I have to agree! But he really is saying SIT! He is also walking consistently too. He started steadily walking about the time of my last post, but now it is regularly. He is also getting pretty quick at it. The only bad thing is that everytime I turn around, he is gone!

He is also getting into EVERYTHING. Currently his obsession is the toilet. It is now time to buy a toilet seat lock. I am tired of fishing toys out of the toilet! He loves to pull all of his toys out of his toy boxes and will play for hours if you let him!

Everything is great, just keeping busy! I will try to blog more!
