Good Morning

It's 8:15, and I'm up. I don't know why, considering Nolan is still SLEEPING!!! At 8:15???!!!! Of course, I got up at 7:30, confused, wondering why Nolan wasn't up, convinced he had choked on his pacifier overnight. But no, he's just a sleeping, sweet sweet little boy.

Dear Nolan: Please keep this up everyday forever and ever. kthnxbye.
Love, Mama

first....

...haircut for the boy this past saturday! he wasn't happy about it, but he held it together pretty well until the razor came out. that's when the tears started rolling. but he survived, and is none the worse for wear. move over tom brady, we've got a little GQ baby on our hands now :)

some "before" pictures (though i'm not sure they capture the true glory of the shaginess that was his hair--all he needed was a hacky sack tucked into his back pocket and he'd have been ready for the phish reunion concert):




a shot at the "salon":

not a happy camper

and after:




and of course, the obligatory "red chair" shots:

walking eta: who the hell knows? i'm hoping for a "first steps" post soon, but the kid crawls FAST and seems pretty content to continue using that mode of transport. but when he finally does take those steps, rest assured that i'll be documenting every. waking. second. of it.

p.s. for you phish fans: ha ha, in your DREAMS!

Tricks and Treats for Everyone!!!

For Halloween, we were supposed to go to SF to hang with Nolan's FBFF (future best friend for-EVAH!) Oscar, but our plans were cancelled due to some very incompetent DirecTV employees (seriously? it takes 2 people 3 hours to install???). Nevertheless, Nolan got dressed up in the spirit of the holiday and greeted kids at the door with a bowl of 'safety tested' candy--e.g. Nolan licked most of the wrappers. We gave kids both a trick AND a treat! We're full service around here, baby. And for our Halloween treat, Brian and I got an HD DVR! Almost better than candy.

The boy rocked two costumes this year, partially making up for the fact the neither his father nor I ever dress up. He looked adorable, as was expected. See for yourself:








In case you were wondering: Yes, he is indeed happy to see you, but that really is just a banana in his pocket.
