Nolan Lately
Nolan has been busy this summer turning into a big boy and doing big boy things. It's amazing how much he has accomplished this summer from riding his bike long distances like a mad man to swimming and jumping off the diving board. He runs around the street with all the other boys and does his "boy things" (shooting Nerf guns, karate chopping things, and playing sports). It's fun to watch him progress into a little, rambunctious, playful, adventurous boy.
Still loves his tools. Our neighbors put in a stone patio and he was out on our deck daily "working" with the dudes.
Walked up to the top of the slide but came back down. Not quite ready for the slide yet.
Prior to his first big jump off the diving board. He was super frustrated with himself because he wanted to do it but was nervous. He cried like this by the board for a few minutes but wouldn't let us walk away. He eventually got up there and once he jumped off the board for the first time there was no turning back!

How he rolls at the grocery store.
Having a moment. Living with Nolan can be extremely stressful at times. He is super sensitive and sometimes the smallest things (a certain pair of shorts, the way you breath on him, etc.) can make him tick. He then throws himself into these monumental tantrums that are maddening for everyone involved. I've seen some improvement lately on his ability to see his actions and calm himself down so we are making progress this summer!!
Our sweet, sensitive, frustrating, loving, Nolan.
