Sledding at Grandma and Grandpa's house

Last Sunday, we went sledding and celebrated Grandma's birthday. Nolan enjoyed the snow (despite his scared look) He went sledding with daddy, grandma & grandpa and uncle Paul & aunt Sarah.

Nolan and his motorcycle

Nolan loves this rocking motorcycle at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He gets on it all by himself now!

(outfit courtesy of Aunt Dawn--it finally fits him!)

Nolan and Lauren's play date!

Nolan and I went to visit my friend, Amber and her daughter. Aren't they so cute! Nolan had so much fun playing with Lauren's play kitchen and all of her toys!

They even posed for pictures!

New videos

Nolan was cracking up when we were playing with a balloon.

This video speaks for itself. It's amazing how commercials can influence young minds...

Happy Halloween!

We went to visit uncle Paul at work and then we went to daddy's work for trick or treats! (Nolan loved seeing all of the other kids and caught on to the "trick or treat" thing pretty quickly!) Grandma and Grandpa Branigan visited in the evening to see the puppy and we'll be visiting Grandma and Grandpa Burger, as well as Great-Grandma Burger, on Saturday!

What a happy puppy we had today!



With the collar on!

Checking out his paws!

Nolan's first haircut

Nolan had his first haircut this week. I took pictures of him sitting in the chair with the cute colorful kids cape, (before and after) but he wasn't as excited as I was about it.




Here he is after the haircut.

And here he is riding a train. He did such a great job getting his haircut, that we played for a while in the playland. He waved bye bye to all of the kids when we left.

Sunday at the apple orchard

A visit from Uncle Paul

As you can see, these boys have lots of fun together!

Nolan wanted to use my fork at dinner and he did a great job getting it straight to his mouth!

Kitty!

Nolan loved seeing the

"kit-tees" at Aunt Dawn and Uncle Travis' house. He really enjoyed playing with the cat toys, too.

Dancing baby!

Here is a video of Nolan showing off his dance moves...

Today was his 15 month check up. He did great despite having to get a few shots. Here are a couple of pictures of his bandaids....

About 2 minutes after I took these pictures, Nolan discovered the bandaid, pulled it off, cried, pulled off the one on the other side and then smiled at me. What a silly baby!

Big boy cup!

Nolan was using his big boy cup (one without handles) and he was very proud of himself. I love his funny face towards the end....

Dancing this morning!

Nolan loves to dance--we've been practicing so we can dance at the wedding receptions in October!


Taking a break from dancing...

Fun this past weekend!

On the trampoline--he had fun jumping!

What a big independent boy, we have! He was running all over the yard and climbing the "rocks" all by himself.
