Busy Few Weeks

The past few weeks have been busy.  Nolan started Pre-K on August 26.  He goes there from 8-3 and is then picked up by day care where he spends the last 2 hours of his day.  He is doing really well with everything and seems to be making friends and enjoying his day. He also just started playing soccer and has his first game this weekend.  He finally gets to wear his shin guards that we bought a while back. He is doing well with practice and listens to what the coach says.  There are a few on his team that are in la la land!  He even scored a few goals in practice.





On September 3 I went back to work and Grant started day care.  Things are going pretty well with that.  Our mornings are pretty crazy but we seem to have a decent routine going.  After only 4 days in "school" Grant came down with a cold.  He is handling it pretty well and we are trying to everything we can to keep him comfortable and make sure it doesn't get any worse.  Now Kevin and I also seem to have a cold too.

Grant turned 3 months old last week.  He is really starting to smile a lot more.  He loves chewing on his hands and seems like he is trying to reach his feet at times too.  He now enjoys playing on his play mat and kicking in the bouncy chair. He goes to bed between 8 and 8:30 and will usually sleep until about 6:30.  The congestion had him waking up a little earlier for a few days but that seems to have passed.  Not sure what he weighs right now, but I think it is around 14 pounds.



Mr. Henry is just as cute as ever.  He is generally very happy and when he sees someone he knows he likes to give hugs.  He is saying a lot of things right now that really crack us up.  He also puts his finger against his cheek saying "hmmm?"  For the most part he will not nap on the weekends anymore.  If he does fall asleep he is usually so grumpy when he wakes up! He is a climber and is always dragging a step ladder or stool around with him.  While cute, he is also very hard headed.  He is tough and will fight to get what he wants.  He also bites Nolan and tries to bite us if he doesn't get what he wants.



We took the boys bowling for the first time a few weeks ago.  Both Nolan and Henry enjoyed it.  Nolan's attention lasted a little longer than Henry though.  They had the bumpers up and also a ramp that you can roll the ball down.  It was pretty cute to see them in tiny bowling shoes!



At the end of August we celebrated Poppie's 70th birthday with dinner at La Ha.  This was the perfect place for 9 kids.  Friday nights are full of kids and the "music man" is there so that they can dance.  Nolan had a good time being silly with Kyle and Wade.
