The "where are your teeth?" smile.

Nolan, you sweet thing.

We love you.  You are getting busier - and smarter - and more curious - and more fun - and we love you more and more every day.  

I could not be happier that your hair is back and just as copper as before (whew!).

Most of your "doings" are captured in other posts, so I won't try to list them all...  but your basic favorites are these:

elephants, horses and doggies

practicing animal sounds (you know a ton!)

trains, planes, cars, firetrucks, construction vehicles... anything that 'goes'!

You love going to the gym (we just changed to a smaller one).

wrestling with Dad

brushing your teeth, then 'rinse and spit' (where you really just swallow the water and pretend to spit)

pancakes, sausage, grapes, cherry tomatoes and BBQ ribs :)

You ask to read your toddler Bible ( the Jesus loves me book - "DeeDah MeeMee") and Little Pea.

You try to be a helper ----  as in, you are unfolding the laundry and bringing it to me piece by piece as I type this.  thank you.  :)

Your bear is your very favorite thing - but it mostly stays in your crib (bc I can't stand searching for it).

You much prefer a shower to a bath, so you get an outdoor shower most days.

You are a little verbal copycat, mimicking us all the time.  I love it.  :)

Can't believe you're getting so big.

We love love love you.

Mom and Dad
