Happy Birthday Bear!

  Back in June our little Nolan Bear turned two! It was a fun family day with Reed in our family too since Candace and Curbo were in the hospital with newborn Charlotte.

In the morning we were brave and took Reed and Nolan to get their haircut and then got Costco smoothies.

We went to Hamilton Pool and had fun swimming and then after naps we enjoyed pizza with GG, Curtis, Reed, Taylor and our family.

  He loved opening all the cards and presents that came from family members. Thank you!

I didn't know what to get Nolan because it seems like he always wanted what Kyle was playing with :). I thought he would have fun with a playhouse and had been emailing people on Craigslist for a couple of days before his birthday. On his birthday we got an email back and we were able to pick it up during his naptime. I was happy he wouldn't be present-less after-all :).

Enjoying his new house the next day:

We ended the night with donuts and candles. He sure does love both! Whenever I have a candle lit at home he always wants me to lift him up so he can blow it out.

We sure do love our Nolan Bear! He is the perfect balance to our family. He loves to give hugs and bury his head in our neck. At 27 months he is a great talker, has a sense of humor, loves to be with his brother, still takes a nap once a day, would watch shows all day long if I let him, is quick to say, "Sorry," and is still a great eater. He has thinned out a lot but is tall and solid. He was in the 90% for both height and weight at his appointment. 

I love my Nolan so much. I love his funny voice and his big belly laugh. He has great hair. It is so soft and thick and I love seeing what bed-head he is going to wake up with every day. I love that he takes soooo long to eat his breakfast and then wants a snack less than an hour later every day. He is reluctant to try new things but enjoys watching others. He is a Mama's boy but I think he may melt Tim's heart the most :). I have always felt that Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he blessed me with Nolan!
