6 months

6 months with my little Noly Poly. I just can't even put into words how smitten we are with him. He is just the happiest most content little babe. Nolan at 6 months wears 9 month clothing and size 3 diapers. He cut 2 teeth on the 25th. He's had his first tastes of real food. He cries every time his bite is gone. He rolls all over the place to get around. He loves his feet, food, taking baths, when his siblings play with him, and his puppy dog. He also loves his binkies. He is a total mama's boy. Loves to snuggle and sleep with his mama. He is always smiling and giggling at something. We just love this little dude to pieces.

4 Months

How is my little Noly Poly not a newborn anymore?  It is so sad!  We just love our little squish.  Here is A little about our Noly Bear.

Nolan is a whopping 17 pounds 4 ounces (90%), and 25.5 inches long (75%). So basically my 4 month old baby is the size of a 9 month old and gonna be a line backer. 

He is seriously the most easy going and happy baby. He just enjoys life and is happy to be here.

Wearing size 3 diapers, 6 month clothes, but we'll be switching them out when I am ready to accept it.

He has blonde hair and looks like blue eyes. Taking after Rosie and his daddy. 

He's rolled over 

He is grabbing things and chewing them

He loves peek a boo with the big kids and giggling at his puppy Kipp.

I can't emphasize his happiness and easy going nature enough. He rarely cries  and just loves everyone. 

Happy 4 months Baby Poly. We just love you bunches.

Love Always,

Your mama

Dear sweet baby boy,

Another month has come and gone with our sweet Noly Poly.  It's amazing how another sweet spirit can make life so much better and chaotic at the same time. Nolan, you have been such a bright light in such a crazy time in our life.  You bring so much joy, happiness, and calm to our family.We all can't get enough of our sweet pudgy boy. 

A few things about You at 2 months:

You are a Pudge!! Like 3 chins and no neck kind of pudgy! It's adorable 

You are in 0-3 month clothes but transitioning to 3-6 right now.

You are in size 2 diapers. Moving up a size a month.

You learned to coo and do it constantly. Oh it makes my day. It is the cutest sweetest thing. You sound like baby chewbacca.

You are all smiles all the time, unless you need a diaper change or are hungry.

You rarely cry, but when you do, it goes from 0-100 in 10 seconds.  

You love to be naked and have your diaper changed. You could be crying super hard but he moment we stop , and  take your pants off you start smiling. It's funny.

You are a total mama's boy. If you see me walk by or I come and talk to you while your daddy is holding you, you will squeal and coo at me.

You love floor time. Sometimes you get fussy just cause you have been held to much. You love to lay on the floor and kick you legs.

You love your hands. You suck on them constantly.

We love you Noly Poly Bear!!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Dear sweet little Nolan,

This last month has been a total dream and blur at the same time. Life is so busy with 4 kids. Thank Heavens we could have Grandma stay with us for a bit. She allowed me to really enjoy one on one time with you. I definitely took advantage of it. You really just complete our little family. Your siblings adore you. Hayden is so happy to finally have a brother. Grace is constantly checking to see if you are awake and smothering you with kisses if you are. Rosie is my big helper. She buttons snaps and helps me change diapers. You are her life sized baby doll. We can't get enough of you. 

  A few things about you at 1 month:

You Just learned to Smile 

You Wear size one diapers

You Wear 0-3 month clothes and some newborn too

You LOVE to eat.

You weigh well over 9 pounds, and have the squishiest cheeks ever! 

You Love the sound of water. It's the only thing that will stop you from your uncontrollable crying (which rarely happens cause you are so calm and happy).

You Love to look at lights. If you are awake you are usually searching for or looking at a light.

You are so snuggly. You always need loves, snuggles and to be held. You are my most snuggly baby so far.

You need at least 1 nap a day on my chest snuggled into my neck.

You love Tummy Time

Oh sweet baby Noly Poly. Your mom and dad adore you. You bring such a sweet spirit into our home. We adore you and are so grateful that you came to our family.

Love, 

Your mama
