I am happy to report that Nolan is doing much better at Mother's Day Out and has even been marked "happy" on his report card. Today he actually ate his lunch with a big step since he hasn't been eating there at all. It took a few weeks of trying and picking him up before nap time to get to this point. I believe we are going to keep picking up before nap time that way he plays there in the morning and naps at home in the afternoons. He takes a 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the afternoon and when we tried to have him nap at MDO he only napped for 30 minutes which equals a cranky toddler for Mommy!
He's also had two weeks at Little Gym on Monday nights with Daddy. Apparently he is having a blast and anytime he hears some music he is bustin' a move. He was literally doing a pop 'n' lock routine the other night instead of doing the gym activity...I guess the boy can't resist a good beat! Next week I am going to have to try to sneak in and videotape his killer dance moves. My husband says he just can't help but laugh at his silly boy dancing away in the middle of the gym!
Conley is doing great and is growing like a weed. He's doing really well at sleeping at night...we still have some gas issues but it has definitely improved. He's such a smiley baby compared to Nolan. Nolan was such a serious baby, and it took us forever to get our first smile. Conley will smile and try to talk to us which is just the sweetest thing!
My anniversary was Saturday, but we are going out to a nice restaurant while my mother-in-law watches the boy. This will be my first time away from Conley, so I'm sure I'll be a little anxious.
Well that's a little run down of what's going on over in these neck of the woods...and I'll leave you with this photo of my growing boy!
Yes, you do have to sneak and capture him on video!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhew you guys have been busy! We so need a video of Nolan's dance moves! I'm glad sleeping has been going well!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see him dancing! Kids are so darn cute when they dance. Always brings a smile. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear both your boys are doing great!! I can't wait to see that video of Nolan busting a move:)
ReplyDeletehehe we have this swing. he loves it, always falls right asleep :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love watching them together?
ReplyDeleteMonkey was a more serious child too, and his little brother is way more smiley. Must be a second child thing. :)
Aw, I love watching them grow together. It really is the sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are getting a little better! Yea!! And yes, i would totally pick him up early too- especially if he is just going to come home and sleep for a long time then you are still getting a break anyway- just stuck at home break.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get a video of his dance moves
What cute boys you have. You will definitely have to sneak in a video camera!
ReplyDeletelove to see the dance actions captured in video, you should do that and post it here.
ReplyDeleteYou have two beautiful boys!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary :)
Can't wait to see him bustin a move! Glad MDO is going better and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely sneak in there and get some video! toddler dancing is the best :)
ReplyDeletewhat is with those playmats - my older ones always tried to squeeze in there with the baby too. I have a pic of all 3 of mine squeezed under ours. LOL
They are so darn cute! And you're right, they are getting so big! I love the picture of them laying side by side :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad that he's doing so much better at MDO! Huge succes :) I'm glad that you're figuring out a routine/schedule that works for him!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. First of all, I am thrilled that Nolan is enjoying his time away from you more!
ReplyDeleteThe rest of your post totally reminded me of my kids. Cam loves dancing too. And isn't it incredible how BIG the toddler seemed as soon as a baby is introduced into the family?! Holy moly.
Ahhh Conley is growing so fast!! Which makes Nolan look even bigger and older :) Such cute boys, I have enjoyed watching Nolan grow, I cannot believe he is approaching 2 already!!
ReplyDeleteHappy late Anniversary! i hope y'all had a great night out!
ReplyDeleteThe boys are both getting so big. It's so neat to watch them grow and change. Yep, video of N's dancing!!!
