Nolan-17 Months

BAHWHAT?!  How is this even possible?  Nolan, you are the sweetest, most handsome, (and I'm not just saying that, everywhere we go, at least one person will approach me about your beauty) kindest boy I have ever met.  You adore to snuggle and to be snuggled.  Several times a day, you will walk over to Mack or me, reach out your arms and say, "ugg?" and rest your little head on our chests.  You have 100% completely taken over my heart.

For fun go here to read all about what Mack was up to at 17 months old.  It's very strange to see just how much these two are alike at the same age.

Some fun facts:

*you LOVE scrambled eggs.  You tried them for the first time this month and can't get enough of them.

*you start your mornings off eating oatmeal or grits (true southern boy, right there) with some sort of fruit

*you're a lover for sweets-pancakes, waffles, french toast-you love it all

*we are knee deep in the "MINE!" stage, and that's fun.

*when you can't reach for something, you say, "Uh oh!  Stuuuuuuuck."  1st real sentence

*when you need help, you shout over and over, "helllllllllllllp!"

*most things these days are, "uh oh".

*you've got manners, my sweet boy.  You say, "peeeeeeese?", and "come!" for thank you.  It's the darn sweetest thing ever.

*Every morning when you wake up, you sweetly shout, "Mommmmmma?" or "Dadddddda?" until we come and get you.

*You sleep from 7:30/8ish p.m. to 7:30 a.m. and you STILL take 2 naps.  You just can't make it to that afternoon nap with Mack.

*You know all of your body parts and we absolutely crack up when you go over them.  For your eyes-you squint, your nose-you sniff, your mouth-you chomp down, your hands-you clap, your head-you pull your hair....simply pointing to these parts aren't good enough for you.

*teeth-you have 1 molar working it's way down and the other THREE are not far behind.

*You're all boy!  You throw everything in sight.  You've broken several things including a bowl and a salt shaker.

*At 6 p.m. you stand at your high chair in protest to eat.  You repeat over and over again while shaking the chair, "I sit, I eat, I sit, I eat" and you get louder and louder.
