outtakes

Nolan is exactly 11 months old today! Here are some of the rejects of his 11 mo. smushed kiss picture.

All I have to say is, thank you God for digital cameras and my freakishly long arms.

There were many more of these, but I'll spare you...

smoothies

Nolan LOVES the spinach/berries/yogurt smoothies that Jesse makes and attacks the glass as soon as it is near his mouth...

How ridiculous is this picture? He looks like a cross between a crazy frenchman and the joker. Can you feel the joy?

When he's finished smoothie-ing, we wipe off the floor and his clothes but he still probably needs one of these**:

**but this is actually from last night. I just wanted to show his curlhawk and pudge.

baby "mop and glo"

We spent last Friday morning doing this over and over and over again until Nolan stopped laughing and was crawling a little crooked. But hey, the dining room floor is REALLY clean now...

new favorite activities...

getting caught under glass tables...

smiling big...

passionate speech making...

making massive messes from inside his crib (??)

his changing table looked NOTHING like that when I put him down for his nap...

hiding things under the couch for daddy to find...

learning how to "eat" pumpkin pancakes...

(this last one is my new favorite skill because I get to use Nolan as an excuse to make a favorite treat of mine)

ahhh laughter

I'm having trouble posting videos directly onto the blog...so check out this link for a really short video of Nolan laughing at me. Cause I'm HILARIOUS! And humble. : )

weather weather

I know it's not very interesting to post about the weather unless it's something major, but I just wanted to share about one of the reasons I like North Carolina!

One day you have this:

And the next day you have this:

Nolan likes winter about as much as I do.
