Fourth of July

The Holick family had a fun, relaxing holiday weekend celebrating Nolan's first Fourth of July.  The festivities kicked off on Friday night when we had some good friends over for dinner and introduced Nolan to sparklers.  Since he was going to be sound asleep this year during the fireworks I figure this was the next best thing and he seemed to like them.

On Saturday, we attended the annual Miller family cook-out.  It was funny to be there this year with a baby in tow considering last year we were there much later into the night enjoying many cocktails; blissfully unaware at the time that I was pregnant.  How life has changed in the past year :)

Sunday was a beautiful day so we went to the pool with Nolan for a couple of hours.  He was a good swimmer and played in the water for about an hour before he started to turn into a prune and need a change of scenery.  That night we had our sitter come over and Eric and I got the opportunity to go out to dinner together.  Nolan gave the babysitter this look that said, "I can't believe I didn't scare you off the first time around!" but he did a good job and I think she may even come back again :)

On the actual 4th, we spent the day lazily playing with Nolan.  We did some swinging, a stroller walk, cooked out together and then met all of the cousins for frozen yogurt after dinner.

Can't wait to introduce him to fireworks in the next couple of years!!
