In the last month

A lot has happened since my last post. I can't believe that it has been over a month since I last updated this blog. We are managing to keep quite busy and time is just a flyin' by. I think each month goes by faster than the one before and in just over two weeks we will be celebrating Nolan's 1st Birthday!!!! I can't believe it. Our sweet baby is quickly turning into a sweet (yet sometimes rotten) little boy.



In the last month or so Nolan has:

• gotten his eighth tooth
  
• started standing on his own (still only for a few seconds, Kevin and I both think he could do it longer if he would just let himself).
  
• started walking holding onto fingers/hands
  
• slept for 12 hours one night


• began signing "all done" at meal times
  
• visited the Indianapolis Zoo for the first time
  
• went to his first State Fair
  
• and started climbing up on anything that he can.

Other happenings in the last month included:

• a visit with family up in Goshen while my brother Jon from Colorado was passing through on his way to Egypt
  
• I took and passed my LSW exam making me a licensed social worker and allowing me to start working towards my LCSW.
  
• Our friends Laura Beth and Charlie welcomed their son Cameron into their family two weeks ago giving Nolan another playmate.
  
• and we enjoyed a visit from my college friends Anna and Mindy.

Sweet sleeping baby!
