Nolan is almost 23 months old! He continues his cough and congestion, but hopefully we will all be getting rid of that soon. With his birthday and christmas on the way I have been reflecting on the past year and the year that Nolan was ONE has been very eventful for him in many ways. It is amazing how he has grown in size and in brain. He is so smart and learning new things everyday that he somehow stores somewhere. He is doing well in his room, although I think between the cold and the nightmares, we will all be glad when he is sleeping without waking up much through the night. It is normally only once or twice, so thats not so bad anyway. He is just helping mommy prepare for the baby. Now that I am 33 weeks pregnant, I am trying to balance getting ready for the baby, being nolans mommy, and keeping up on things around the house. Christmas shopping almost complete, thank goodness! I am excited for Thanksgiving to be with all the family, and would like to thank everyone who has been a part of watching Nolan grow this past year. We are thankful for all of you. Nolan has been to the two year old class at the library that hopefully we can go to a few more times before baby arrives. He is showing his twos quite frequently through temper tantrums, but some days is as sweet as can be! My favorite phrase right now "mommy, i need you" when he is getting tired and wants me to hold him... He is still napping during the day, which is more challenging some days than others. He really doesnt have a favorite toy that he likes, but continues to play with all of his toys, trucks, trains, and books. His favorite snacks are fruit snacks and string cheese. He loves the movies Shrek, Cars, and Toy Story. He still likes Dora too... He did have his first experience at the Cookie Cutters Hair Salon, after daddy cut his hair we decided the top was too long and needed cut as well. He is still in size 5 diapers, and wearing between 24mos and 3T shirts and 2T pants. Love him! He also says I love you now, but only on his terms!
