A funny thing happened in the bath tub . . .

After a rough start, Nolan adjusted really well to eating rice cereal. We got in to a nice routine of feeding him first and then having him drink his bottle – until tonight. We introduced oatmeal cereal in to his diet, and he was not at all impressed. So we went back to what worked at the beginning of last week – eat, then bottle, then finish eating. Hopefully things will go more smoothly for Adam tomorrow morning, cuz he’s on his own! (I’m facilitating new employee orientation so need to leave before Nolan wakes up)

It’s crazy to think that summer as we know it is done, as another Labor Day has come and gone. We spent the weekend at the Bleck family farm. We didn’t do anything too strenuous – after all, Labor Day is a full weekend for rest, right? The weather was fabulous so we spent most of our time outdoors. Nolan was a super good boy – he took really good naps and went to bed by 7 each night. In between naps and sleep he spent a lot of time outside hanging out with everyone. Claire found him especially amusing. She is quite a talker, and she made sure to say hi to Nolan every time he was near her, and made a special point to bring him all of his toys to play with! Nolan experienced his first time in a sandbox and got to sit on a 4-wheeler, too. He wasn't too excited about the 4-wheeler, but I'm sure that will come when he's older! He continues to amaze everyone with his personality. This morning at breakfast he spent about 15 minutes laughing at a yellow rubber duck while Adam made funny duck noises. Seriously, we haven't heard him giggle that much at any other time! Nolan and I did have a chance to spend Saturday morning with my mom and dad at my aunt and uncle’s cabin on Fish Trap Lake. What a fantastic place! It was so nice to spend a little time with them, as they hadn’t met Nolan yet.

Adam and I gave Nolan a bath before bed tonight. While in the bath tub a funny thing happened - Nolan “discovered himself” and started playing with his wedding tackle! We’re pretty sure it was by accident, but we were totally unprepared for it this early! He thought he was hilarious and was just laughing and giggling away. I’m sure other things are going to happen when we least expect it, so we’ve just gotta roll with the punches:)
