Play Ground Fun... And Other Random Thoughts

Life has been busy (hence the blog-hiatus). But it is good. Last weekend we went to Blacksburg for a friend's wedding (ever been to a Quaker wedding? It was...different). But while we were in town we got to hang out with family and visit with friends. It was fun! Nolan got to play on the play ground lots while we were there. He really liked going down the slide! He also liked throwing/rolling the ball down the slide and having Boomer chase after it. Here is another pic from the play ground... I couldn't get Nolan to look at the camera, but you can see how happy he is! You can also see that Boomer didn't want to get left out of the play ground fun, so he is right up there too!

Since it's been a while, here are some other random thoughts:

• 
  
  Nolan has finally started enjoying reading books. Before he would hardly sit still long enough to get through a page or two. His favorite book seems to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He LOVES it! He probably asks to read that book 10 times a day. Maybe he likes it because the caterpillar is a pig just like him? He likes to point at all of the different foods (probably wanting to eat them).

  I splurged and bought us a new trash can. Now we have one with a lock on it! Try getting into that Nolan and Boomer!

  The other day Nolan walked (rather purposefully) into his room, grabbed a diaper, and walked right back to me and placed the diaper in my lap. I figured he might be trying to tell me something, so I checked his diaper and sure enough, it was sopping wet. So my conclusion is this... either it was merely a coincence, or Nolan is a genius and is ready to start potty training before he even turns one. I'm hoping it's the latter ;)

  Nolan has discovered how much fun splashing in the bath tub is. I can never come out of there with dry clothes anymore.
• Nolan got another tooth this week. He now has 8 - 4 on top, 4 on bottom. Hopefully we will get a break from the teething for a while, but you never know!

That's about it for now. I'm going to go try to find something refreshing and easy for dinner...

Hopefully it won't be so long before the next post!
