San Mateo County (not so) Fair

Last weekend, we went to the San Mateo County Fair. We saw turkeys and sheep and goats, oh my! (And some other animals...yay.)
Also, the ferris wheel:




Don't know why, but I had high expectations for this fair. Too high. The animals were fun, but overall, it was just "eh" for all of us.

Sadly, we missed Weird Al and the Village People. Maybe next year.

Cheese(y)!!

Check out the farmer's tan! Cheesey ham-it-up-for-the-camera smile, too.

Ready to Rock?

Nolan got this rocking horse for his first birthday, but he hadn't really been able to rock or bounce until a few months ago. Now he's a pro:



Getting the rhythm of bouncing seems a bit more difficult, but Nolan tries, and does it hands free nonetheless. Daredevil in the making? Ugh.

Videos Aplenty

As Nolan edges closer to 2, it's been kind of hard to get any decent photos of him. He's constantly moving, so most of our shots come out blurry. Although, that could also be because I lack any real skills of a photographer, but I digress. Anyway, I've been taking tons of videos of the boy instead. So look forward to a lot more videos to come....

First up is one of him watching TV. Sounds exciting, no? There is more to it than that. There's this show that he likes (and that Brian and I don't mind, either) called Yo Gabba Gabba. In one episode, they tell the kids watching to hold still, then "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle." Check out Nolan joining in on the action:

Fun Fact #1 (as evidenced at the end of the video): Nolan's favorite word is "NO!!" sometimes elongated to "No waaaaaaaaay!" Fun times for all of us.
