Rolling Over, Talking and Giggling!

Nolan has been rolling over, giggling, and chatting up a storm recently! He was an early roller - at 10 weeks old! He first rolled over at my mom's house. I thought it was just a fluke, that he somehow rolled over without meaning to. But a few days later he rolled over again. Then a few days after that he really got the hang of it and rolled over 9 times in one morning! I kept putting him back on his tummy and he would just roll right over. He prefers to roll to his left, although he's rolled over to his right a few times. Since then he has been rolling over a lot. This past week he hasn't rolled over much at all. I think he is enjoying tummy time more now that he has good neck control and can push up onto his hands for a longer period of time. Here's a video of the morning he really got the hang of it (not the best video, kinda shakey, but you can see him roll).
Nolan has been talking for quite some time, but this week he turned into a chatterbox! He just talks and talks, especially when he is on the changing table. My mom sent a cute picture text of him talking to Grover while he was on his tummy at her house. Here is a video of Nolan chatting with me while he is on the changing table.

Nolan started giggling! He was 12 weeks old when he started. This week he has been giggling every day. It is the sweetest noise. My cheeks always hurt from smiling so much every time he giggles. I was able to capture it on video. It's really quick; I haven't been able to capture a longer one yet. I'll keep trying. :)

And here is a cute picture I snapped of Nolan while he was doing tummy time last week.

Daycare at Grammie's!

Nolan has been going to daycare at Grammie's (my mom's) for an entire month now. He loves it there! He adores his cousin Abigail and his snuggles with Grammie. By the time I get to my mom's to nurse him after work he is exhausted. He usually falls asleep nursing and then sleeps until 6:30 or 7!

Nolan's typical day at Grammie's includes watching Abigail eat in the highchair, doing tummy time (while watching Abigail dance or walk), lying on his back in the activity gym, "talking" to Grammie, snuggling with Grammie, napping in his cradle, bouncy chair, or Grammie's arms, drinking several bottles, and sitting in his bouncy chair while Abigail tries to pull his socks off. :)

I am so happy that Abigail and Nolan are so interested in each other. I can just imagine what it will be like a year from now when Abgail is talking up a storm and Nolan is walking..they will be trouble! :)

Here are some pictures from Grammie's:

Looking at each other

"Nolan! You're watching me dance, right?!"

"Yes, Abigail. Your dancing is amazing."

"I'm going to watch you from my tummy."

"You better be watching me, Nolan!"

Time to walk!

"Which books should Grammie read to Nolan and me?"

"Abigail! I'm still watching you! I watched you walk all the way to the books!"
