Nine Months!!

Today Nolan is nine months old. I think it's fun that he's been out of my belly for as long as he was in there (more or less). He had his check up and is weighing in at 22 lbs. (70%) and length is 30 inches (93%). He is now "crawling", able to feed himself, has three teeth- with at least three on the way, and is just an all around joy. We are so thankful to have him in our lives!

Renovations

I have been fairly absent from blog world because we have been doing renovations in our house. It all started very simple and innocent. We were taking the wallpaper off the walls and ceiling (yes, we had wallpaper on the ceiling- it was horrible!!) in our kitchen and putting on a fresh coat of paint. The finale was to be new countertops. Well...it evolved into having all the ceilings on the main floor resurfaced, cracked plaster walls repaired, the walls in the kitchen skim coated, new floors, countertops, sink, faucet, and oven. My house has been a total disaster and I have hated having my crawling baby on the floor. Most of the workers should be out of here by the end of this week and then we will be painting, painting, painting! Anyone want to come over?? :) I will post pictures when it is all done. In the mean time here are a few of the little man.

I think he looks so big in this picture

In his new big boy seat. Out like a light!! :)

With a BAA and a MOO and a COCKADOODLEDOO...

Since this kid can't get enough of the "Barnyard Dance" he just had to be a chicken for halloween. Actually, I found this at a consignment sale months ago and have been so excited to use it. It was a fairly uneventful day. We put to costume on in the morning for pictures and visited with our neighbors. Went to a friends for lunch and to Gigi's and Papa's for dinner. He is by far the cutest chicken I have ever seen!
