3 Months Since Blast-Off

Here is Nolan doing one of his favorite things - being thrust through the air like a rocket. Tomorrow marks the 3rd month that he has been here blessing us with screaming, salivating, smiling and senseless squealing. It's been absolutely great. Hats off to you Nolan. Love Dad (y su Madre).

First Weekend of Summer

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to post a quick hello and show some new pictures of Nolan where he isn't all red and spotty! These are pictures of him in his little bebePod chair sitting at the table with Jesse. It's amazing how small he looks, even though he's still not even 3 months old yet. The last time we put him in it a few weeks ago he slumped right over to the side and was not happy about it. He "sits" a lot better now, though and looked pretty comfortable in his seat for a while.

Check out those big feet!
We spent the first weekend of summer with both the Stuart family in Mount Laurel on Saturday morning and the Jones family in Maryland for the rest of the weekend. It was very relaxing and we feel so blessed to have so much family around to wrestle Nolan out of our arms!
Love, Laura and Jesse

Little Leopard

These past two weeks have been a little rough for Nolan, as he celebrated turning 2 months old by getting his vaccines followed by hives (unrelated to the shots) and then started running a fever and throwing up. At least he got it all over with at once! Here's a photo of Nolan looking like a little red leopard when he had hives... poor kid...


He seems to be completely back to normal now and has been smiling a ton and making new sounds. He has also discovered his hands so he has a pretty good time just looking at them while going cross-eyed and trying to stick them in his mouth.

Jesse is still doing great as a summer associate at MNAT in Wilmington, enjoying all the fun events they have planned throughout the summer. So far there has been a Phillies game, cocktail party, softball games, and bowling. As a family, next week we'll be joining other MNAT people to walk a 5k for Mom's House near Wilmington.

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Tuesday, June 10th! It's hard to believe that two years have already gone by but even harder to believe how much has changed in that short period of time...NOLAN! He has brought us a new level of joy of being married and has made us into a little family. If only we could get him to change his own diapers, Jesse and I would have more time together...

Happy 1st Father's Day, Jesse!
