Thankful...

2 months.

Sweet Nollie pollie is 2 months already. He has been smiling and cooing a ton, which gets him lots of attention. Through all the smiling we have confirmed that he has a cute little dimple on his left cheek, so cute. Nolan has been the smallest of my kids, probably because he spits up a lot (notice his shirt in this picture) and because he actually sleeps through the night when my other two insisted on eating. He weighs 10 pounds 15 ounces and is 23 inches long (50th percentile for both). At his appointment the doctor commented on how strong Nolan was and how he had a very powerful kick. That strong kicking gave him his first injury. While sitting in his car seat on a long car ride, Nolan was crying and kicking so much, and so hard that he got a "rug burn" on his heels. Total rascal. We love our little guy and he continues to brighten our crazy household.

Gobble... gobble....

Deep concentration... wearing a deep-V! (Check out how hard Marcus is concentrating, tongue and all.)

Preschool friends:

Charlie came home from preschool a few days before Halloween and he told me he learned a new song from his preschool friend Tanner. It goes like this: Trick or treat... smell my feet... give me something good to eat. If you don't... I don't care... I'm GONNA EAT YOUR UNDERWEAR!" Charlie thought it was hilarious.

Buddies: Charlie, J, and Saxon, and little brother Hugh (the shark).

Peter Pan was pretty fond of Batgirl (aka: Molly Olmstead, Charlie's favorite preschool friend.)
