Water table play

New kicks

Ardan got some new tennis shoes today since he loves jogging with mommy. He was stoked to say the least and wouldn't take them off all evening, until mommy made him take a bath. 

Celebrating Nolan's 1st

We got to celebrate Nolan's 1st birthday while we were in Charlotte, NC.  It was so special to celebrate with the grandparents, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Chris and Liam.  We celebrated by playing in the pool all day and with a yummy dinner on the grill and cupcakes!

We also celebrating again when we got home to see Daddy. Nolan is 29 1/2 inches tall and 21 lbs 5 oz.  He mastered walking a month ago and loves to be on the go.  He is babbling in complete sentences and is quick to repeat sounds and actions.  He loved petting puppies and hiding toys in obscure places around the house.  Just like Ardan he plays with the DVDs on the bottom of the DVD shelf.  He loves all food, but mostly just wants to chance to feed himself instead of mommy doing it.

Nana & Poppop's

We played in Nana & Poppop's pool everyday of our visit.  It was so fun. Ardan's favorite was jumping in, and by the end was also practicing his swimming.  Uncle Chris brought some water guns, which of course Ardan loved!

Meeting Liam!

We got to meet baby Liam for the first time last week (other than on Skype).  The cousins loved playing together. What a handsome bunch.

Virginia Tech!

 

We had a blast visiting Virginia Tech.  Ardan loved every minute of it.  We walked about the Drill Field, football stadium, and basketball Coliseum.  A boys basketball camp was practicing and Ardan just wanted to join in on their practice, but we managed to just watch them instead.  We ate lunch at Sycamore Deli, one of Daddy and Mommy's favorites in college.  What an amazing day.  Campus changed so much I barely recognized it!
