Happy Six Months!!

We just can't believe our little man is already six months old! That's halfway to a YEAR! It really does seem like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital.


Currently he loves to play with toy balls and anything that crinkles or shines. He laughs at simple things like his dad getting up close to him and saying "Gooooo Cougars!" or twirling a burp cloth in front of his face.

He chews on everything!


He loves standing up and 'dancing.'

And squealing!

He's getting better and better at getting where he wants to go. We'll leave the room for a minute and come back to find him halfway across the room. I'm thinking some baby-proofing and a play area are in order!

Ok, I promise we're not trying to turn our kid into the next Pele, and we don't want to be crazy sports parents. I mean, we would love it if Nolan ends up liking sports, and we want to support him, but we're determined to keep it in perspective and always remember that it's just for fun.
BUT
I'm seeing some mad soccer skills here :) He got this soccer ball from his feet to his hands several times!!

We've learned recently that we actually have to put him down for a nap now. He doesn't just fall asleep wherever and whenever like he used to. On that note, the weirdo LOVES blankets on or near his face. If he starts crying when we put him down, all we have to do is put a blanket near his face and he usually calms down. He even covers his own face with blankets or burp cloths!

Silly kid!

And my favorite picture from the last bit...

Justin set Nolan on the ground in front of him just before he left for softball one night. Before we knew it, Nolan had untied one of his shoes, was working on the other one, and chewing the laces! 

Most importantly, he's the sweetest, happiest baby ever! Justin and I often joke that we should just stop having babies while we're ahead haha (somehow, I don't think the grandparents will agree though ☺).
