The 11th lands on a Tuesday this month and next so that’s 2 less blogs for mommy to do. Whoopee! Less work on mommy to coordinate shoots and blogging. =)
Nolan still has the case of sleep regression. We’re into week 2 of this and hoping it will end soon, if not already. We just put him down and I think he’s been asleep for 10 minutes now. I said a prayer before leaving the room hoping that tonight will be the end of sleep regression madness. They were right in saying babies seem to learn it all at once: sitting up like pros, into crawling, then to pulling themselves up and then cruising furniture. Nolan has gotten quite good at pulling himself up and he’s only started doing this in the last week. Yes, we had to lower his crib down a notch to prevent him from falling forward and out. He is now a whole head above the railing and looks out at us in the room all the time. Nolan will definitely be getting into a lot more trouble soon. Already lunging after remotes, phones, tablets, keyboards w/o any sense of the consequences of hitting his head or falling out of the bed for ’em. Hoping I won’t need to photograph a bruised up baby in the coming months.
Anyhow, in celebration of Valentines day we made today’s shoot just a tad festive with a cute onesie and some kisses from mommy. This is all credited to daddy dearest. Check out our little, big man at 8 months!!
Our little laughing machine.
Blue steel!
I absolutely love his expressions.
One of my favorite things to do is watch Nolan play. It’s just so fascinating to see how he soaks in his environment and how he interacts with each toy. It’s so crazy once you realize the sheer impact you have on a little human being that what you do from the start really makes a big difference on how they turn out to be later in life. Makes me much more aware and conscious of what I do for him and how I choose to spend my time with him. Here’s my little human getting to know the world he was born into. If you’re wondering, yes, we are guilty of “caging” him up but in the beginning it was mainly to keep his toys contained in the play area. Now he uses it to practice standing and pulling himself up but of course also to cry and get our attention to pick him up. Love the little guy!!
