23 Months
I can't believe I am writing this down right now but today Nolan is 23 months old and this is the last month that when someone asks, "how old is he?" I will be responding by months; not years. There is nothing worse than the parent that responds with something crazy like, "33.5 months." You shouldn't have to whip out a calculator to figure out how old your kids is!! So, our monthly age status has almost some to an end.
How did this tiny baby boy turn into a two-year-old toddler?!
It has been a fun, challenging, exciting 23 months with Nolan and I don't remember what life was like before he came along. The first year was, of course, filled with lots of firsts and a lot of anxiety from Eric and I as we navigated through raising a baby together. This second year has been so fun to watch our baby turn into a little person who speaks, walks, feeds himself, plays well with others, and has grown such a fantastic personality. Next stop: a birthday party for our two-year-old!!
Here are some highlights from the past 23 months...
When the monthly updates all started.
First Christmas.
First birthday.
First vacation to Florida.
Announcing the pending arrival of his little sister.
Being the big boy that he is at dinner with us...sans high chair.
Here's to hoping that our happy Nolan isn't struck by the "terrible twos!"

as soon as he turned one. When people asked how old he was, I would say "he's one and he'll be two in Oct. Let them figure it out if they really want to know exactly. I never understood the whole "month" thing until they are two. Why celebrate a "first" birthday with a big "1" on the cake if you are going to use months still for their age? lol. Although I did over hear a lady at the bookstore say her son was 37 months!
Happy almost "2" birthday Nolan!
