A Boy and His Dad

Happy Father's Day!

To my Todd, thank you for being a wonderful husband and father.  You are so kind, loving, supportive, and nurturing toward your children.  Nolan and Avery just ADORE you.  I love witnessing the smiles, giggles, and hugs that the three of you share.

 Nolan Adores His Daddy!  It is so cute to watch the two of them together, he looks up at his daddy with big eyes and lots of smiles!

Daddy's Boy

Author: Patsy Gaut

My little eyes are watching,
My ears are listening too.
They take in everything
That you say and do.


My little hands are eager
To do the things you do.
I'm hoping and I'm dreaming
I'll grow up just like you.


I am just a little guy
Who knows that you are wise
You'll teach me what I need
For someone just my size.


I'm a bright eyed little fellow
Who is watching what you do
And I'm waiting for the day
I'll be grown up just like you.

My Sweetie is 6 Months Old!

I can't believe my baby is already 6 months old.  And I look back at the last 6 months, and I realize how much she has already accomplished.  She learned to hold up her head, she learned how to smile and interact with us, she learned to use her hands.  And she is learning how to sit unassisted, and she is learning how to eat.  She is my little diva, she knows how to smile and grab my undivided attention.  She absolutely adores her brother, Nolan makes her eyes just LIGHT up.  Nolan makes her giggle like nobody can.  I am so glad that she adores him!  
Miss Avery, Mommy, Daddy, and Nolan love you soooo much!  Thank you for blessing our lives!
Happy 6 month milestone!

CAN YOU TELL THAT I AM ENJOYING TAKING PICTURES OF MY SWEETHEART!

Learning to EAT...

Miss Avery is exploring foods!  So far she has enjoyed pureed apples, bananas, and carrots.  I think her favorite so far has been the bananas.  She also doesn't mind rice cereal.  

To My Birthday Boy!

To My Dear Nolan-

I cannot believe that THREE years ago today, I was in the hospital and you blessed our lives with your presence!  

You have certainly enriched our lives in so many ways.

We LOVE you so much!

I truly feel like overnight you have grown from first a baby, to a toddler, and now into quite the little boy.

You have a wonderful personality.

You are inquisitive and ever exploring, 

You are silly and full of laughter,

You are sweet, and loving, and nurturing to your sister Avery, 

And you are sensitive and think of other's feelings.

You have become quite the conversationalist!

You are a terrific BIG BROTHER!

You LOVE your toy Nemo, and your Thomas the Trains!

Daddy and I are ever grateful for the blessing of your life, 

And the joys you bring us everyday!

We have LOVED watching you grow and learn over the past three years,

And we are excited to see what the future holds!

Happy 3rd Birthday Nolan,

We LOVE you very much!

More Mother's Day Fun!

Mother's Day has become such a special day!  I adore being a mom, and I am glad I get to spend the day with my mother, mother in-law, and all these wonderful ladies!  They have all taught me so much, and I am grateful to have all these wonderful women in my life!
