Nolan and his cake

Most of his cousins' heads are also in this video.

It's a long video... be patient.

Nolan's 1!

Nolan turned the big 0-1 yesterday. Everyone was being sad about 9/11 while Cary, Nolan, and I (and everyone else with a 9/11 birthday) celebrated.

We had Nolan's birthday party Saturday (on Cary's birthday). Nolan did great. He was in a great mood Saturday. He did awesome with all the people (we had about 20 adults and 10 kids).

He is now talking all the time. He says mommy, daddy, cat, and book very clearly. His favorite word is book. He will see a book and say "book, book, dook, ook, book, ook, book.." over and over again. His birthday present to me was to look at me and say "mommy." my present to him was a big bruise on his forehead. (he slipped in the tub and hit his head. I held him and cryed while he looked over my shoulder and laughed at a cat.)

He is still walking with help. He's crusing the furniture. He's pulling up on everything - cats, other babies, couch, tables, legs...

He's 12-month well baby check is tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to find out how much he's grown!

Anyway I know you really came here for pictures, so here you go:

Video to come...

Happy (almost) Birthday, Cary!

Cary's birthday is Saturday.
He'll be 32.

Happy Birthday!
