Back in NC!

Nolan posing in all his naked glory

Nolan being happy (and modest) in the bath tub and laughing at Jesse who was making faces at him while wearing one of Nolan's hooded baby towels.

We are officially back in Winston-Salem after a great summer with our families in NJ. Jesse really enjoyed summering at MNAT and it seems like an awesome law firm. He’s already back to school to finish off his last year! We’ve spent the last two weeks reorganizing our tiny apartment, getting rid of the things we don’t use enough (or ever) and catching up with good friends that we haven’t seen in a few months!

Nolan turned 5 months old yesterday and is more loveable and fun everyday. It’s unbelievable how easy it is to make him smile and laugh compared to a month ago. Our days with him consist of Jesse and I making absurd faces, doing weird dances, and talking in ridiculous voices, just trying to see how Nolan will respond. Honestly, sometimes it’s funnier when you do some type of wild jig while singing along in a weird voice to a song on the radio and Nolan just stares at you with absolutely NO expression whatsoever. I’m pretty sure we already embarrass him, but thankfully he has no baby friends to roll his eyes at to just yet. Most of the time he is a very happy baby, squealing and screaming (loudly) with delight, and making sounds like this: “nnggdddddnanadagggn” while moving his eyebrows up and down. We’re not 100% sure, but we think he’s saying, “Wow, you guys are great parents! You should go treat yourselves to dinner!” We are beginning the process of solids, so be looking for some great nasty pictures of Nolan with mush all over his little face.

Love, Laura and Jesse
