I can't believe we have a 3 year old in our house. This morning as I was getting ready before Nolan woke up, I looked at the clock and it was 6:16 am - the same time Nolan was born. A flood of emotions came over me as I thought about his birth and seeing him for the first time, seeing Ryan with him for the first time. It has gone so quick, and still seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. I can't imagine life without Nolan in our family. He keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing.

A few things about Nolan at this age:
*He loves eating macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, chocolate milk, peanut butter, broccoli, string cheese, applesauce, peaches, cookies or and dessert for that matter, white yogurt, pancakes, rice and chicken.
*Frozen is his favorite video right now and we watch it daily
*He usually gets up in the morning around 6:30 am
*His bed time is 8:00 pm
*He loves being outside and I wish we had a yard so he could be outside all the time
*Tractors, construction equipment are his favorite toys right now
*He likes to floss his teeth
*Only gets 1 chocolate milk per day
*Likes to watch You Tube shows while he eats - his favorite shows are shows in Chinese or Russian...I'm not kidding
*He is so good at playing by himself right now - and loves playing with his trucks in the front room which I am grateful for
*He likes to help us say prayers
*Loves going to church and nursery. We made it through sacrament meeting for like the 3rd time ever last week.....it was a great day!
*Still takes naps at school each day and most weekends with us if we aren't too busy
*Knows his A, B, C's, colors and how to count to 10 in order. He knows other numbers but mixes up the order
*Listens to everything that is said and if we are talking about him, he will ask "Is that Nolan?"
*Likes to sing songs - the Utah fight song, if you're happy and you know it are some that come to mind and of course all of the Frozen songs
*Is very observant and notices the little things - bugs on the sidewalk, smoke coming from a building
*Very into asking "OR" questions. For example, "Red or blue?"; "Yes or no?"
*Very concerned for others and notices when they are sad or happy
*Loves all of his cousins
*Wants to know where we are going, where we are, or who is going to be there. He knows Ryan's parent's live in Arizona, cousin Alec lives in Denver, Collie and Zach live in Heber with Corbin and Easton, he knows the way to mormor and morfar's house
*Loves going to Dee's restaurant on 7th east for pancakes
*Spontaneously says "I love you" and will give us hugs which melts my heart
*Asks "why" for everything
*Says "I don't like that" at least once a day to us and i'm sure more to his friends at school
*A little daredevil - he goes down the slide face first and jumps off everything.
For his special day, we had pancakes for breakfast, he played with his trucks and watched Frozen before going to school for the day. We went to Wendy's for dinner, played at Liberty park and he blew out a candle on his cupcake! We sure do love this little guy and can't wait for more birthday celebrations in the future!
On Monday, May 5th we went to his well visit. Here are his stats from that:
Weight: 32 lbs (54th percentile)
Height: 38.5 in (75th percentile)
BMI: 15.2 (24th percentile)
