Nolan loves doing EVERYTHING with Daddy

1 Month

This is usually how I will find Nolan when Alaina is awake

and on the couch.

Where to begin...Alaina turned 1 month on June 24th and is already going to be turning 2 months in 10 more days! My maternity leave is already more than half over and I go back to work August 17th :( I'm not sure what I will do without my kids all day. Alaina has been such a blessing and an amazing addition to our family. We could not have a happier baby. She is so smiley and happy all the time and she is "talking" more and more everyday. She enjoys our daily walks, being outside, being in the tub, running around town with her mom, laying on her back and kicking and she truly loves Nolan...and Bauer too. She grins ear to ear when she sees them. Nolan has been a great big brother. I'm not sure a little boy could love a sister as much as Nolan loves Alaina. He really loves kissing and hugging her and at times tries (and has once) picking her up. He really wants to feed her the "baba" and hold her all the time. It is funny to hear him talk to her as he mimics the way we talk to her. He is also going through a very lovey dovey stage and is always giving us hugs and kisses and is always saying "love ya mom or love ya dad". I am eating it up because I know it won't last long. He wants to snuggle all the time too...he is so sweet (well most of the time). We have enjoyed our nice warm days at the splash park and pool. Nolan has the most fun at the splash park when it is spur of the moment in his dry clothes! Nolan and Daddy spent the 4th of July at the lake and Alaina and I had a nice, quiet girls weekend. Alaina's first trip to the lake will be coming up next weekend! I could go on and on about these kids and how great our summer has been. Hope everyone else is enjoying theirs!
