Our little boy is no longer so little! We weighed him a couple of weeks ago at the doctor and he was already over 18 pounds. He measured 27 inches long, too. 50% for both measurements, and his head was 50% as well.
Nolan continues to be such a wondeful little boy. His favorite things to do are screech, scream, blow bubbles and raspberries, and babble up a storm. I think he may take after his mom! He can also sit up very well on his own, play with all sorts of toys, make an effort to step forward when being held up, roll all over the place, and play peek-a-boo. We sure are having a great time!
This is our "new" scooter! We got it for $650. It gets 80-90 mpg, so seeing that Ted drives all over for work, we plan on making up for this cost relatively soon. It is pretty fun! I actually drove it all over our neighborhood. If you can get over feeling dorky, it can be a great way to get around. 
I just loved how the brown pillow tied everything together! You can't really tell, but there is some nice stitching work to add detail throughout the top of the comforter and the pillows. I even changed my bedside table to be more calming. No more books and stuff just laid out. Now they are hidden by a nice little cloth. I feel like my room is actually tranquil. I love it!
The water creates rapids and leaves a pleasant swampy lake, large enough to grow algae. The rain has also caused some basement flooding. We spent all last weekend cleaning out wet stuff, scrubbing the floor, gathering garbage, and just trying to salvage what we can. 
The plan was flawless. Well, except for the unexpected weather shift! Before clearing all the dirt from the driveway and settling it in its proper place, we experienced an unpredicted downfall. Luckily, the lake didn't return, but the evil river washed a portion of our dirt away. Oh yeah. Did you also know that top soil makes a great cement? It turns to thick, sticky mud, and then to a hard concrete. 
We have also been swimming at local community pools with Melika and Cohen. They all have "Tot time" from 10-11:30 in the morning. The pools have sprayers, slides, and are all super shallow so Nolan can sit in them. He LOVES swimming and never wants to get out.
