I started my day by stepping in cat puke

Cary's out of town this weekend. It's just me, Nolan, and our many cats. One of the many cats puked last night - a couple of times - and didn't bother to clean it up. Always fun to start your morning by stepping in cat puke.

Nolan's 6-month well baby check was yesterday. He weighs 19 pounds, 11 ounces, and is 27 inches long. He is in the 75th percentile for weight and height and 25th percentile for his tiny head (he gets that from me and Cary). He is rolling over both ways now and is starting to scoot around.

He just realized it's lunch time. Got to go.

I'll try to finish this update tomorrow after he wins the baby contest.

Remember to go vote for Nolan!

up to 21 lbs?

After Nolan's bath last night, I decided to dress him in his robe until bedtime. I checked the size on the robe. It said up to 21 lbs. Great! That should fit Nolan with no problems. He barely ate while he was sick. He's probably down to a tiny 18 lbs now.

So, I put the robe on him. The sleeves ended up being 3/4 length, I couldn't tie the belt, and the robe was barely long enough to cover his diaper.







Nolan's holding his own bottle now. He's going to start driving next week.

No more sick house

No more colds or flus around here.

Nolan has finally started to act like himself again.
He woke up at around 2:30 this morning. We kept hearing him talking and laughing in his room. Cary went to check on him at around 3:30 am. Nolan was on his stomach talking and laughing at the cute, chubby baby in the mirror. He would push himself up to the edge of the crib so he could touch the mirror. He talked to himself in the mirror until around 4 am!

We are getting him back on his pre-sick schedule. He wakes up at around 7 am, I feed him then go to work. Cary feeds him at around 12:30 and they play the rest of the day. I feed him again when I get home at around 5:30. Then I put Nolan to bed at around 7. Every other night he gets bath. He is starting to figure out that he can splash.

The schedule's great. I end up with some time to do stuff like update this blog, clean the house, pay bills, watch some TV, and eat dinner. (mainly, I sit on couch and watch tv.)


I found out more about the photo contest I entered him in. You have to go to Discover Mills to on March 30 or 31 to vote from him. I didn't realized you couldn't vote online. If I had known that, I might not have entered him. (who am I kidding, I still would have entered him.)
I won't get a copy of the pictures I entered in the contest until after the contest. You know I will post them!

It's TV time.

Enough with the sharing

Nolan gave me his cold. (the same cold that Cary gave to Nolan.)

I've been up until 1am with Nolan almost every night this week. He just want to be held. He looks like he feels miserable.

And to make him look even more miserable, he now has tears when he cries.

His sick pout is one the cutest, sadest things I've even seen.
