Nolan is 11 Months Old

Today, my little boy is 11 months old!! Bill and I measured and weighed him tonight because he doesn't have to go back to the pediatrician until he is 12 months old. Nolan measured 30 inches in length and weighed 22lbs 10oz. Once again, we don't know how accurate these measurements are, but at least we know he is continuing to grow.  Nolan also had his 3rd tooth come in, Letter F!!

A few of Nolan's favorite things to do:
             - Stand all alone
             - Point at objects
             - Jabber nonstop
             - Attempt to take steps on his own
             - Walk while pushing toys
             - Blow bubbles with his mouth
             - Watch Sesame Street
             - Crawl through tunnels
             - Attempt to destroy anything he can get his
                hands on

 Tooth Letter F; Left Central Incisor

Nolan has the funniest little quirks.  For awhile now, anytime Nolan has to poopy, he goes onto the tile floor, lays down on all fours, puts his face to the ground, and he blows on the tile.  He will do this until he has finished his business.  Finally, I was able to capture this hilarious moment on video.

 
With Nolan's 1st Birthday right around the corner, it seems like I've been planning non-stop.  I decided to go with a Winter ONE-derland birthday party theme.  I found everything on etsy.com, of course.  I had to take a picture to send to the woman who is making the invitations.  Here are a couple of the pictures I took.

I ended up using this picture for the invitation

We are still as busy as ever.  Nolan has taken us on an adventurous trip and we cannot wait to celebrate his first birthday next month.  It's so hard to believe, a year has already passed since this beautiful blessing has come into my life.  Okay, I'll save the sentimental stuff for his birthday post!!

 Nolan's new thing.  He likes to put his hands behind his head like he is going to lay back and take a nap.

Happy baby boy!

Helping with the laundry.  Bill used a make shift gate, chairs, at the bottom of the steps because Nolan now knows how to climb the stairs.  Nolan knows how to climb up the stairs, but not back down.  This can lead to a problem, so we no longer allow him to attempt to climb the stairs.
