Walking!?! I guess he has to Grow UP!!

Nolan is becoming more proficient with walking every day!!! He continues to want to be held, but I have a feeling I should eat up every minute of cuddling I can get because it will be ending!!! He is very lazy when it comes to wanting what he wants but he's learning that if he does it on his own he gets it faster!! He continues to eat and eat and will try anything!!! He loves food, everything about it!!! He also loves playing with toys and with other kids!! We took him to one of Brayden's friends birthday parties at a bounce house and he loved the slides with mom and dad too!! Nolan got his second haircut today and it is much shorter and makes him look soooo big!!

Brayden is ready to turn 6!! Donny and I hear about it all day everyday, either where his birthday party will be, what the theme will be, or how he is older than someone!! He's also obcessed with size of clothes and shoes, he always wants to be the biggest!!! He continues to love Ninja class and is hoping to have a few more friends join soon!! He earned his NINJA band this week, and doesn't want to ever take it off!!! Brayden's best friend William is in the class and then after the class both families have been going out to dinner!! Such a fun night for the boys and a little peace for the parents. Brayden went to his BFF's birthday party and did the rock wall for the first time!! The first attempt he only made up a few feet by the third he attempt he made it to the TOP!!! He was so proud of himself!!

We just booked a trip in April to Orlando!! I was going for a conference so we figured why not all go!!! We are so excited, not sure exactly what we will do but we have some time!! Work has been so crazy that it will be a welcomed trip for sure!!! We look forward to any and all stress free days around here!! 

My mom and dad have taken both boys for a few nights over the last month!! Donny and I were shocked they took Nolan again, but then again he sleeps 12 hours for them!! They have so much fun and Donny and I get a night off!!! Win-win!!!! We are learning it's ok to share them every now and then!!

Boys will be Boys!!!!

I no longer have a baby I'm afraid!!! He's not walking a ton, but he standing and taking steps, and climbing up on to things like crazy!!! Everyday he shows us something new!!! He is starting to "sign" to let us know what he wants and every now and then he suprises us with a new word!! I hate it and love it all at once!!! He is still a mommy's boy and doesn't like me to leave under any circumstances. He is still super cuddly and such a good boy!!! He loves to play with other kids including his big brother!!
I got a call today from daycare that he had a low grade fever and diarrhea so I went and picked him up and enjoyed as many cuddles as I could take in!!! It's the only positive about a sick kiddo!!!

Brayden is loving kindergarten and is finally telling us about his day!!! His only complaint is that he wants to be a picker upper and not go to after school!! Unfortunately this isn't going to work right now!!! He has decided that he wants to redo the kids bathroom upstairs to Star Wars, we told him no way till he sleeps upstairs, just like that he slept in his own bed!!! He was so proud of himself!! He has also started to put Legos together himself!!! After finishing he has such a sense of accomplishment it's awesome to see!!!

To sum it all up my boys are crazy, daring, sweet, and loving BOYS, and I wouldn't change my life fur anything!!!!
