We are home, safe and sound and I am happy to say that Nolan traveled very well (better then me, in fact.) He loves buses and shuttle trains and was a model plane passenger. I saw a look of worry on our neighbors as we boarded the plane with our bouncing baby boy, but they soon realized that he is far too advanced to be a screaming mess on our flight. Nolan even earned his first pair of wings, not from a flight attendant, but from a fellow passenger. THAT is a compliment! A full re-cap of our Florida trip will come when I get the photos that we took on Mema's camera. Let me just say that he does not like the taste of sand, but loves chocolate cream filled doughnuts...

Off to Florida

Every chance Nolan gets, he plays with the dogs bones and toys. Bella is such a good girl, she lets him!

We are off to Florida tomorrow. Stay tuned for some beach-bound baby photos!

Nolan visited me at work!

Sorry I have been such a slacker about posting, I am busily preparing for 2 craft shows and my camera phone is missing. (but what else is new?)

This is pretty much what sitting up practice is at our house. Nolan sits nicely for about 5 minutes then remembers how much fun it is to throw himself backwards.

Nolan's 9 month check up was yesterday, he is 20 lbs 4 oz. and 28 inches long (50th percentile for both!.) He got one shot and did not even cry!

Nolan's first trip to the Baltimore Museum of Art

We got some funny looks and some eye rolls as I pushed Nolan's stroller into the museum today, but I must say he was a model patron (as I knew he would be.) He loved Rodin's The Thinker and seemed partial to contemporary art. Most of all, he enjoyed the acoustics of the big open spaces.

Photo tip

Even the nicest Bogen tripod can be rendered useless by a rogue baby.

High Five!

Thanks Aunt Tya!

Nolan's visit to a vineyard

Nolan prefers Sangria to formula.

Today.

Modeling his custom shirt from Sweet Pepita.

Finally got a shot of his 2 teeth. He is working on a new one up top!

Flintstone feet.

Nolan is modeling the onesie that Beth got him from Red Prarie Press. It is still a little big, but I could not resist when I cam across it in his closet this morning. Thanks Beth and Rachel!
