6 month update

A little photo shoot after his 6 month appointment...

Here are Nolan's 6 month stats:
-weight: 18 lbs 0 oz (50th percentile) Elle was 15 lbs 4 oz
-length: 26 1/2 inches (50th percentile) Elle was 24 3/4 in.
-head circumference: 43.5 cm (50th percentile)

Bear fans!


Noli loves when we have fires





Other things Noli is up to:
-sitting up on his own
-likes to stand (we have to balance him of course)
-likes to play in the exersaucer
-Eating! Nolan nurses 5-6 times/day and eats 3 jars of "2nd" baby food/day we add cereal here and there too.
-Still spitting up, this is slowing down a bit, I think
-Naps about 3 x/day (falls asleep with his pacifier, but it usually falls out after being asleep for a couple minutes.
-Goes to bed around 6:30pm and is up and happy at around 6:30/7am (with 1-2 wake-ups at night). Falls asleep without his pacifier and wants nothing to do with it during the night.
-No interest in rolling/crawling, he is content with just laying there kicking and playing.
-Still likes his car seat (which I can hardly carry), usually falls asleep in the car. If he's awake, he either plays with a toy or watches Elle.
-Likes to cuddle
-Loves ANY attention from his big sister
Speaking of the big sister...

We listen to a lot of Kieth Urban and Taylor Swift. Ellison has also taken a very strong liking to both. She has her favorite songs which she requests over and over. Her favorite KU song is "Days Go By" and her favorite TS songs are "Back to December", "Mine", and "Ours", but Elle calls it "Things that Shine". She does not like if I sing along, however Jonathan is allowed. Ha! We had a Keith Urban Live DVD that we recently showed her and now she is hooked. We put it on for her and she dances up a storm! We also pull up Taylor Swift music videos for her, she loves to sing along and sits there watching Taylor in awe!

Nap time cuddles

Ellison started a ballet class for 2 and 3 year olds in January called Tiny Twirlers. She loves it and seems to always be showing off her new moves. Elle loves her ballet outfit and calles it her "dance costume", she would wear it all of the time if she could. We are really looking forward to the recitle at the end of April!
Ellison doing her version of "downward dog" or a push up, neither of which she has learned in her class.
