Things Nolan say

Nolan I got a text from your teacher today, Nolan is running around the classroom saying "KELSEY I NEED MORE COFFEE!!!

Last night you were not listening and you were hitting mommy and Layla with a bib. I took the bib from you and you said "That is not nice mommy, that is not nice" and stomped off. Daddy asked you what did you say? "That is not nice mommy, Mommy took my bib" and again walked off pouting.

Nolan you make me smile even when you are being bad

Things Nolan says

Mommy "Nolan you are so cute"

Nolan "I'm not cute mommy"

Layla Rose- 6 months

How blessed we have been for God to have allowed us to be your parents sweet baby girl. You are officially half way to one! Here is a little about what you are doing these day. About a week ago you officially sat on your own with no assistance. The same day you decided to sit on your own you also decided you can stand as long as you are holding on to something. Not pull yourself up and stand but stand holding on. You absolutely hate to be on your stomach. You can roll over but usually only do so when I first put you on your stomach or if you are screaming at the top of your lungs. You have started to scoot on your tummy, yes I still make you go on your tummy even though you hate it, and you usually turn around a full 180 degrees. You have started eating baby food and all fruits are your favorites- apples, pears, and bananas. You will eat the vegetables but you are never disappointed when they are gone. Yesterday, I put you in your highchair for the first time. You are not sleeping through the night, you actually wake up about two times still.

Toys, Toys, Toys, you love to have something in your hands at all times so you can put it in your mouth. I would say your butterfly rattle is your favorite one. If we put the ball that spins or your piano in front of you, you can reach out and make it spin and hit the keys. Nolan loves to have you in the playroom with him. As you will see when you look at pictures you are always surrounded by trucks, he takes out every single one and shows you what they are, tells you their color, and shows you their sounds. You sit there and laugh and smile at him. Its a tough call on who makes you smile more daddy or Nolan. Either way they both are always looking out for you and you will always be well protected.

Songs- you love to be sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "You are my sunshine" are what I sing to you most.

Books- We read all kinds and you don't have a favorite right now

Food- I would say bananas

Toy-Butterfly rattle

Object- you like anything soft and fuzzy particularly your blankets.

Appearance- You are still our little turkey but are starting to thin out. You have BIG brown eyes, a beautiful smile with dimples, and very little hair on your head. At your 6 month doctors appointment your statistics are Weight: 16lbs 11oz (63%), Height 26 inches (58%), and Head Circumference is 17 inches (70%).

Personality: Layla Rose you are the sweetest little girl I could ask for. You love to play, smile and laugh. But when you need something or are upset you have no problem making sure you are heard by everyone until you get what you want. You are always looking to see what is going on in the room and where Nolan and Daddy are. When you find them you always get a HUGE smile on your face and giggle.

New Milestones-Layla Rose

Where has time gone? I know every parent says "time just flies by" and every person that gives you this advice is correct. Time does go by so fast with children. I can't believe our little girl is about to be 6 months old. Last Saturday she decided she no longer needed help sitting and he can do it all by herself. Along with sitting she can stand on her own too as long as she is holding on to something. Layla we love you so much and you make us so proud.

Sitting for the first time by herself

I think since I started sitting today I'm going to go ahead and stand also

  

Things Nolan Says

Nolan was in the kitchen playing with his airplanes on Saturday morning.

Mom: "Nolan, go eat your cereal, or I am going to put your airplanes up"
Nolan- "Hold on airplane, I'll be right back, have to eat my cereal or you are going bye bye"

New Christmas Traditions

This year our family decided to start a new family tradition. We made Christmas cookies and letters and delivered them to our neighbors who had the best Christmas lights. Nolan loved every second of it. The best was part of the experience was seeing the smiles we brought to random strangers faces and every house we went to had children that were so excited we liked their Christmas lights. This is definitely a tradition we will carry on from year to year in the Connor Household.

This was Nolans favorite house because Santa was in an airplane!
