Hockey, Halloween and a HEARTBEAT!!!!!

I really didn't want my picture taken in my Lion Costume

but here is me and Bauer on Halloween
I think it's funny when Mommy puts her hair clip in my hair
Daddy doesn't think it's funny!
This is also my scrunchy nose smile

Climbing in my book basket...it's one of my new
favorite things to do.

I am happy to become a big brother!!

It was a very busy weekend with the Sioux in town and all the trick-or-treating we did. Nolan went to the game on Saturday night and had lots of fun. He wasn't quit sure what to think of the starting line up and loud music, but it sure was interesting! We started out trick-or-treating around 4, and between the grandparents and friends' houses we stopped at we didn't get home until 7:30. Needless to say it was a long night, but we had lots of fun and Nolan slept great. He was a Lion, and thought it was funny to "scare" people. He really hated the car rides and the in and out of the car seat, but he thought it was worth it with all of the attention and great Halloween gifts and treats! Danny and I also had a very exciting day today. It was our first OB appointment for baby Marto #2!! We were so happy to hear the strong heartbeat. I forgot how fun it was to listen to that little heart. We are due May 16th, so Nolan and his brother or sister will be about 21 months apart. We weren't expecting to get pregnant so quickly, but we are thrilled and can't wait for our kids to be good buds. I am definitely expecting a very busy summer while I am off on maternity leave.

A few more quick notes about Nolan...he is going trough a naughty phase, but it is only for his mommy. He thinks it is so funny to pull my hare, scratch me and kick me. The bad part is that he thinks it is even funnier when I tell him NO! He loves to kiss mommy's baby. When I ask him if he is thirsty or wants a drink of water he replies with a "aaahhh". He likes to cheers with daddy. His bow-legs and pigeon toes are getting better! He eats and snacks all day long. He likes to do somersaults. He has a new scrunchy nose smile that Danny calls his evil smile. I am trying to teach him some sign language. He loves, loves, loves to give Bauer treats and he makes us laugh all the time!
