Wow, 5 months! How in the world did that happen?! Last week I was watching some old videos where Nolan was just starting to engage and make some noises other than crying. With all of his smiling and laughing and screeching these days, it's hard to imagine that making noise was ever a novel thing!
We just love this little guy more and more every day and can't believe he's ours! Or that he could be so stinkin' cute!! I think my cousin Paul had it right when he said Me + Justin = An Upgrade!! haha.
I want to give you a taste of how tough mornings are for Justin and I. You try seeing this cute face staring up at you as you drop him off at the sitters house and still get to work on time! And of course he's always so happy in the morning. I'm sure I walk back at least twice for more hugs and kisses before leaving! Pick up is the better job, good thing we switch off depending on the day.
(Also, his five month wardrobe is for Crazy Uncle BJ.)
A couple of weeks ago Preston and Devin sent us a cute video of their boys and at the beginning of it Beckett said, "There's spitties dad! Rhett's doing spitties!" We thought it was so funny and cute! Well, now that Nolan has discovered his tongue and how to use it to make noise and spit, we've started referring to his drooling sessions as 'spitties' :)
Make sure you turn up the volume on this one so you can hear him, it's pretty funny!
Sorry for all the videos, but this one has spitties and eating his toes so I had to :)
Justin and Nolan were troopers the last couple of weekends while I played in TWO hockey tournaments! The first was in Ogden and Britface and Suedles came and hung out with Justin and Nolan. The second was a co-ed tournament in Park City.
Kate making sure Nolan gets familiar with a hockey stick very early :)
Britface wouldn't give him up for the whole game, even though Justin, Sue, and Carli were all waiting for a turn! :)
No worries, Suedles got him the next game. Although um...Nolan may have peed on her. That's ok, she still loves him :)
Look at this monstrous corn dog Justin got at the food truck rally in Ogden. And that was after he had already eaten a few bites!
He had a lot of fun in this little contraption at Jeanni's house. I'm so glad she's got these things because I'm a mean mom and don't want to clutter up my apartment even more than it already is! :)
He rolled and rolled until he found a comfy spot.
We tried to get him to weigh himself since he's so good at standing. It didn't work too well but still super cute!
So happy he was screeching!! (btw, I had to video from behind because if he sees the camera he immediately stops whatever cute or funny thing he's doing!)
Hanging with Paul at mom and dad's softball game. I asked Paul if he could babysit while we played. His only request was that Nolan wear the cute BYU football onesie that he got for him :)
Game faces!
First time on the swing!
Go Penguins!! Too bad as of now they are out of the playoffs this year :( Oh well, next time!
This is pretty much the face he makes every time he tries a new food for the first time.
Justin and I were cleaning out our closets on Saturday so there was a bunch of clothes and hangers where Nolan was laying/playing.
No worries, he still found it comfy enough for a nap!
Hanging out with mom and her friends for girl's night!
Sitting up in a big boy high chair, still loving his wipes bag
He does this funny thing where he folds himself in half on your lap. He was doing it to Sue so I had to get a picture!
Sara giving him the 'nummies.' Look at him so relaxed, the life.
Lis can always get him to calm down if he's upset.
I'm sure lucky these girls love Nolan so much, especially since he has discovered his loud voice and was screeching for about 40 minutes straight during our movie haha!
Look how high he was lifting his head to see the girls on the couch! What a charmer.

In case you were wondering, he still likes being naked best. We're in trouble!
One last note, I got an email from my dad's cousin Jani that her mom (my great aunt Beth, who is my grandma Mathews' sister) had fallen and broken her hip and that she was being taken to the hospital in Provo (she lives in Richfield). I've been thinking for the past year that I need to go down and see her or at least send her a card with some pictures of Nolan, our wedding, BJs wedding, Preston's family, etc, but slacker me never sent it. So even though it wasn't under ideal circumstances, I was glad to have the opportunity to go see her a few times and show her some pictures. She thought Nolan was so cute and that Justin is very handsome :) I agree Beth!
This might have been her first selfie haha. She was like, "Ahh, I'm the ugly one" :( She got in trouble for that one. But I'm sure she's like my grandma and hates being 'undone.' Silly Stanton girls!
