Cry baby alert!! Ever since we got back Nolan has been SUPER DUPER whiny. He’s never been this whiny, EVER! I guess we can now officially call him a “cry baby”. Ugh. Does it make me a bad mother that I am annoyed being around him when he’s like this? Seriously, he has an entire 2nd floor to explore but he insists on crawling up to me (whining while he’s at it), pulls himself up to a standing position and begs (whines) for me to pick him up. Then 3 seconds later he wants to be put down. Repeat in 2 minutes. It’s been driving me up the wall the last few days that I can’t seem to concentrate and concentration is what I desperately need. His 1st birthday party is in less than 3 weeks (lots of planning and things to do) and I am at the cusp of the busy wedding season again. Oh and our TiVo is completely maxed out with shows we have not watched in the last month. I guess that will be put to the back burner til Labor Day. =/
We’ve been home for almost a week now and on reflection, I’ve come to find a brighter side to lugging the kiddo around Europe for nearly 3 weeks. I can seriously say that any day trip in SoCal with him along is now a piece of cake. I’ve done arguably the toughest thing with this kid, I can now do almost ANYTHING. A day at Disneyland, bring it on! I’ll even take 2 other kids along. I knew there had to be a bright side to all that pain + suffering. For now, enjoy these images of my little cry baby.

Here’s your cry baby.

This smile makes all the whining worth it.

His playful and serious look. Reminds me of…ME!

Our silly little guy eating pho earlier today.
One day this summer I will try my best to backlog the missing dialog/photos/videos from our EuroTrip. At this point, I’ll have to say that August/September looks promising. Let’s hope I don’t get sidetracked and never post the photos.
