Wall-E in 4 Minutes

As told by Nolan--with subtitles! (For those who can't quite understand his accent*.)

Orange County!

Hello again! It's been awhile. It's no secret that we've been busy with the big move these past couple weeks. But we're finally getting ourselves settled in and enjoying ourselves in our new home. Nolan has adjusted beautifully and has taken to the new pool quite well. In fact, take a look for yourselves:

It's been hard for (pregnant old) me to adjust to the very warm summer weather down here, so thank god for the pool! Lifesaver....

What a Difference...

...2 years make.

Remember this? We're still at it with Gymboree, and here he is now:

It's funny to me now, Nolan being this active, running, jumping little being that we were so amazed when he first rolled over. I guess we'll be going through it all again soon.

Now if he auditions, he can say "I've been singing since I was 2...."

I love his modified lyrics to "Old MacDonald": Old MacDonald had a farm, ei ei o. I saw a cow. Moo Moo!

Six months sure makes a big difference! He looks like a little goober in the last picture, but check the other two out:





I love his pouty lip! Alas, where did my baby go? *sniff*

Little Patriot

His skills need a little work, but he's got a lot of heart.

Tahoe!

Last month, we were lucky enough to be invited to Tahoe by our friends the Drukers. We stayed at the home of Josh's cool boss, gratis, and it was quite a sweet home at that. The dudes got to ski (Brian)/snowboard (Josh) at Squaw one day, and the ladies got a spa day massage on another. Oscar and Nolan chilled at the house, which was already equipped with age-appropriate toys, and the best toy of all: Snow!

Anyway, here are some pictures from that weekend (also, even though the pictures will show you otherwise, we did more than just scooter around that weekend). Enjoy!

Ever since I got the Flip camera for Christmas, I've kind of neglected the photos we've been taking. I finally uploaded the recent pictures from the camera and realized that I'd completely forgotten about the shots we took when Nolan's Mimi and Papa visited way back in January. We took a trip to the deYoung museum with Oscar and friends, and here are some pictures from that trip:







Next up: Tahoe pictures!

Musical Montage

I haven't posted in awhile, so I've created a video musical montage of what we've been up to for the past month. Please excuse the cheesy music--it was an option I inadvertently left checked when I created the video (it's the song the Flip camera software uses). 

Enjoy!

Going the Distance

Mimi and Papa visited last weekend and while they were here, Santa finally delivered Nolan's shiny new bike! Here's a video I took with my new Flip camera, which was a Christmas gift from Mimi and Papa to me. As Nolan would say, "I yike it!"

**NEWS FLASH**

Nolan is sleeping in the big bed by himself for the first time tonight!

His nap earlier in the day.

Will it stick? Probably not, but it's exciting to me nonetheless. It's the little things in life that thrill me these days...
