365 Days Old

Nolan is officially 365 days, 52 weeks, 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes, and 31,536,000 seconds old!  I honestly cannot believe it has been a year and can't wait to celebrate many more birthday's with him.  At 1 year Nolan is....

*Walking all over the place and has been for a few weeks now.  His favorite is walking around outside on the sidewalk when we go on walks.  He goes a few steps then bends over to touch the grass, pick up sticks, touch leaves etc.  So we take a lot longer getting places when he walks

*Has 6 teeth now.  4 top teeth came in all at once - not sure if it is better this way or one at a time.

*Has to feed himself during meals now - his favorite foods are bread, yogurt bites, puffs, mac and cheese, noodles, bread with jam, spaghettios and juice

*Still loves watching other kids play

*Makes growling noises when playing with dinosaurs, and car noises when playing with cars

*Can go up and down stairs

*Loves to laugh and smile

*Is happy most of the time, that being said he has started throwing tantrums lately and I don't like it one bit

*Says "mama", "dada", "ball", "hey", and "dog"

*Points at everything

*Loves touching the lights with dad

*Loves playing in his room - that is where all his toys are

*Doesn't like to sit still - always on the go

*Shakes his head no or pushes things away when he doesn't want something

*Claps his hands when we sing "If you're happy and you know it"

We can't get enough of this little guy and love him a lot!

On Saturday after the race we had a birthday party for him.  It was very low key and only family came.  He received a lot of fun gifts and we are grateful for them.  He also received many calls, texts, messages on his birthday.  We have great friends and family!  It was so fun to watch him eat his cupcake.  We sang happy birthday to him and I blew out his candle.  I placed the cupcake down on his tray and he immediately picked it up and tried to put the whole thing in his mouth.  It was the funniest thing ever.  He ate the whole thing and was covered in frosting and ice cream.  I took him straight tot he bath when he was done!
