Black and Whites

I love black and white pictures.

Oh no...it's already started

Tyler and Nolan are already playing video games together.

7 to 7

Nolan slept 12 hours last night. I cannot even believe it. Now if I can just get him to take a nap without screaming for 20minutes.

Beautiful Baby Boy

I am trying to be creative here. I am just learning to use Photoshop. But I cannot go wrong if Nolan is in the picture. (If you cannot tell what I have done, look at those beautiful blue eyes)

Silly Kitty!

And a picture of Libby!

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

One would think that a child of mine would sleep like a dream. Wrong! I just do not know what to do. I feel that I have read every book available. Nothing seems to work. Let me tell you, it is very frustrating. So now, for about a week, I have been trying to let him cry it out. Boy does he cry. I really am not sure that it is working. I do not see regular cry free naps in our future (ever). This baby fights sleep more than his father, it is ridiculous:(
Somebody please help me!

I Love Tyler and Nolan!

Another look back...

What a wonderful day!

Looking Back...

My baby was so small. I cannot believe it has almost been six months since he was born. Looking back at these pictures helps me remember how blessed we are to have Nolan. He is so wonderful!

I Love Amber and Nolan!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a very fun weekend! It was the best b-day because I got to spend it with my family. I feel a little bit older than 22 though.

Mornings are very interesting...

Whenever we go into Nolan's room in the morning there is no telling where he is going to be. This morning he was facing the opposite direction we put him last night. When he looks up at us, it is so sweet. He just giggles! He is so happy in the morning. Also he wakes with his face cut. Everyday there is a new scratch, and his nails are as short as they can be. In this picture you can see some of the scratches. Poor baby!

Family Forum

Tyler made a new forum for the family to keep in touch. Click on the link below and create a profile (only takes a minute). Hopefully this will be a new meeting place for all of the family. http://familyforum.freeforums.org/

Finally Some Relief

Nolan was so fussy for about a week or two. He has finally started acting a little normal. I am so thankful the last few days have went smooth. I was starting to stress out. Nolan has been much happier, thank goodness. I have determined he was fussy due to teething. He has also been sleeping better (at least at night). We were giving him cereal before bed, but it seemed to be making him wake up more. Since we have stopped, he has only been waking up once or twice, which is much than before. It makes life a little less stresssful. I hope that when we really do start feeding him solids (around six months) he does a little better than he did with cereal.
I love my baby! I continue to remind myself that he will grow up before I know it, and no longer need me. I want to cherish every moment!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~anonymous~

Teething Bites!

My poor baby is teething. As you can see, he cannot chew on enough stuff.

Just Chillin

A year ago at this time...

January 10th, 2007 we found out we were having Nolan. I cannot even believe that he is five months old now. Time flies by so fast!
As fussy as he is (which is always) I would not have it any other way. I love my baby so much. I am so incredibly lucky to be able to stay home with him. It is amazing to witness every new thing that he does. I was watching him sleep earlier . There is nothing more peaceful than watching a baby sleep. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
Life is fast, but I pray that I can take in every moment (even the hard times) and cherish them always.

Bath Time

Bath time is Nolan's favorite time of the day. He loves to try to drink the water. Tonight he learned that if dips his hands in the water he can then suck it off of them. Tyler and I were impressed!

Tyler's new toy

Doesn't he look happy!

Welcome: Get ready to enjoy some cute pictures!

Isn't he the cutest baby! :)
