We're back!

Things have been busy around here. In case you didn't hear, we had a baby. Nolan was born on December 8th. He is a very good baby. He likes it when you talk to him and he doesn't like it when you put him down and walk away. He has really been studying his hands lately. He seems quite fascinated by them. He is just starting to reach out towards toys and will sometimes get his hand wrapped around it. Sometimes he will talk...it's very cute.

Tyler is a great big brother. He loves to talk to Nolan and will try to entertain him if he's crying. He doesn't show any signs of jealousy and seems to really enjoy Nolan. I am enjoying this while it lasts. I'm not sure if Tyler understands that Nolan will become mobile at some point and will want to eat/play with/destroy Tyler's toys.

Tyler has been taking swimming lessons and is enjoying them so much that we signed him up for the next level of classes (granted, he did start with the youngest class). I really hope he continues to enjoy swimming and becomes even more comfortable with water. We have also signed him up for T-Ball this summer. We will have to see how that goes. He can be very shy/timid about trying things for the first time. I hope he will end up loving it and I'm sure his former-baseball-player-in-high-school-daddy hopes so too!
