These days...

What he's into:

waking up at night

babbling (na-na-na and loud exclamations)

figuring out his toys

wondering where sounds are coming from

his hat (wait, that's mamma)

watching other kids

chewing on books

paisley (seriously)

hiccups

Exhausted after swimmingHi!This outfit should've come with a parasol and inner tube.

Nolan's greeting

(Note Frosty stain on my shirt)

Mmmmm....toes

Rolling with a little help from mamma

Peek-a-boo

Daddy Magic begins

For the first time, Nolan cried when Darren left the room today. I think Darren was pleasantly surprised.

Nolan has a way of latching onto you with his eyes and drawing you to him like a magnet. One minute I'm cutting carrots and the next thing I know, I'm standing there with Nolan in my arms, sniffing his hair. Total addiction.

Welcome: Nolan is 5 months

Just to get something going, I'm posting a video of one of Nolan's current favorite activities - toy-flogging - taken a couple days ago.

*no real insects were harmed during this video

My goal with this blog is to share Nolan's growth with you and fill the void we feel being so far away - living in Paradise can only compensate for so much. I'm sure other things will sneak in...news of note, bad days, ramblings, but mainly...Nolan. I plan on recording his firsts, his favorite things, his day-to-day activities. Please comment and share as you feel compelled.
