July

Earlier this month we actually had some comfortable weather and were able to play outside again.  Nolan loves being outside even more now because he can move around and explore.

I took Nolan and Meghan to a park to get some pictures of them.  Nolan thought it was okay.  The mosquitos were torturing Meghan which led to no usable pictures of her.

Nolan goes to bed by 7 so that usually leaves us with an hour or so of one on one time with Meghan.  Lately, all she wants to do is play Candy Land.  It is much more enjoyable now that she actually follows the rules!

Crawling, Crawling, Crawling.  That is all Nolan wants to do now.  He started crawling on the 5th of July and is unstoppable now.  You turn your attention for a second and he is gone.  Having an open concept house has been great, up until now.  There is no way to gate him into one area.  We have resorted to shutting all the doors to keep him slightly contained.

Meghan is 4 going on fourteen.  She asked to have her hair "smoothed".  This meant we had to blow dry her hair, add tons of product, and then flat iron it.  I'm not sure what made me think this was a good idea.  She now asks every day to have her hair smooth.  I think she looks like a totally different kid with straight hair.

This is Nolan's 8 month picture.  Trying to keep him still with the bear is next to impossible.  At least he turned to look at the camera before tackling the bear.
