The little ringbearer! He made it down the aisle!

Dancing with the flower girl. He was on the dance floor most of the night and had a blast!

OOOH, I see a pumpkin!

Playing with his new bat from Aunt Diana and Uncle Charlie.

Running man!

Nolan doesn't walk these days, he runs!!

PS--Run fast, Aunt Sarah! I'm proud of you!!!

I can use my mommy's fork!

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!

October 4, 2008 Tara & Vince's Wedding

Nolan had fun at Aunt Tara and Uncle Vince's wedding. Here he is posing with the beautiful bride and handsome groom! (with his sippy cup)

Running on the dance floor with John.

He found a pumpkin...

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.

Nolan with his great-cousin, Allyson. We went to celebrate Great Aunt Patty's birthday with the Hampel family.
Nolan could not get enough of this "kit-tee"

Chasing the kitty!

Nolan's Shadow

On Thursday, I came home from work to find Nolan and Grandma playing in the driveway. Nolan was following his shadow and waving his hands around and saying "shadow", so I ran in to get the video camera to capture it....

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's

Nolan loved playing with Alffie, Otis and Cain at Grandma & Grandpa's house. He really enjoyed laying on Otis and petting him over and over because he was just Nolan's size!

"Good boy, Otis"

Riding my motorcycle!

Daddy (and Cain) stayed right behind him because this little daredevil kept trying to stand on the seat!

Sept 8--Morning fun

Walking like a confident little man!


This morning Nolan was having a blast walking back and forth in the kitchen. He was very proud of himself!


He sticks his tongue out like Mommy when he's concentrating really hard! (Grandpa Branigan would be so proud!)

Sept. 7--A visit from Grandma & Grandpa

Showing Grandma and Grandpa Burger how he climbs on his zebra all by himself.





Waiting for Daddy to bring the doggie in the house.

Labor Day

We first went to the Antique Steam Engine show, but the lack of people (and steam engines) changed our plans. Daddy suggested a trip to the playland at the mall. (Of course, Mommy is always happy to go to the mall!)

August 30 Diana's Bridal Shower

Aunt Diana and Uncle Charlie, the bride and groom to be with the ringbearer!
The proud little ringbearer with Mommy! He walked and walked and walked around all of the tables--he's practicing for the big day!

Showing Aunt Dawn something interesting

I love my "da doh"

In deep conversation with Cain!

You're such a cuddly "da doh"

Playing with Cain

I'll play fetch with you Cain; I've seen Daddy do this a thousand times!

I don't need any help, Mommy; I can do it all by myself
