What this boy is made of~Snips and snails, And puppy dog tails!

I haven't blogged much about my sweet boy lately. My Nolan, he's such a spark plug. He is now 16 months old, ahh, could shed a tear over that one! I think back to the journey I went through to finally get to Nolan J. Patrick~the terrible morning sickness piggybacked with Zofran/prometrium, a baby aspirin each day, the shots in my tummy for 8 months, I could list a few more things, but I'll spare you the details, besides most of you know what those things are :") what a ride it was. I know a lot of other moms who have gone through an awful lot to get to their blessings. The truth is most of us would go through it over and over for them. I'm in love with him! He's the polar opposite of his big sister, and that has made it even more interesting to watch him evolve. We have our reserved, docile Livvy, and then there's our determined, constant ball of energy, Nolan. He's trying to say everything we're saying now, very cute, and fun because he's becoming a great little communicator. Seems like he's always trying to figure "things" out. To test them, he might pull it a part, climb on it, break it, eat it, jump on it/or off of it, or whatever else he thinks he needs to do to figure it out. My friend D always says he's "frisky" like a cat, and boy that's the truth! Or Olivia likes to call him a "cub bear." But then, there's his sweet, soft, tenderhearted side. Like when he just wants his B (his silky blanket,) for a bit of cuddle time, sits on my lap for a story, give hugs, or my favorite, kisses. Here are some new photos of NJP. You'll notice his new trend is to rub his food in his hair during mealtime, fun times! I absolutely love having a little boy, it's a whole new world!
