The Brock Brood: May 2015

Our first born is 6! To me, this age seems so big. Five still seems young but there is something about 6 that makes them seem so old! Maybe it is the fact that he is losing teeth and learning to read. He will be in 1st grade in just a few months too. Nolan is a good kid. Sure he has his moments, but he seems to be so much more mature. He is good with his brothers and generally does what is asked of him without too much of a fight. He loves Star Wars and watching shows on the Kindle (mainly Power Rangers). He still isn't the best fruit/veggie eater but we have made a little bit of progress. His favorite is probably salad.. He is playing baseball and makes pretty good contact with the ball. He also has a great stance down. He finally graduated out of his car seat and was moved to a booster in the third row. It is so nice that he can now fully buckle and unbuckle himself.

Nolan had his 6-year check up and he is 42lbs and 3'9". I have no idea where he is percentage wise but he is definitely on the skinny side! Dr. Crane said he looks good and gave him a pep talk about the importance of eating fruits and veggies!

After lots of going back and forth with different ideas we decided to have Nolan's party at Sky High. We went with a Thursday night party on his actual birthday. We had a great turn out and I think all of the guests had a blast jumping. He had a big cookie cake as his cake.
