Summer, don't end!

A few updates since the last post - I am almost 37 weeks pregnant now! I went to the doctor early this week for my 36 week check-up. Everything is going well, and the baby is actually measuring about a week ahead! Don't get too big, baby! haha. The baby is definitely going through a growth spurt. I took a picture on Sunday when I turned 36 weeks and one today, at 36 weeks 5 days. You can see that my belly has grown! I am starting to get more and more uncomfortable, more so than I was with Nolan. I don't know if this baby is stretched out more, or bigger than Nolan was, or both, but the baby has been kicking my rib. It actually hurts my stomach when the baby stretches! But I am happy that the baby is growing and active. I go back next Tuesday for another routine check-up. 

Nolan has been his cute little self as usual. He is really into saying, "Hooray _____!" (insert someone's name or something he likes, such as Hooray Mama! or Hooray lights!) It's so cute. He has started drinking out of a cup at mealtimes and is doing really well with it. He usually only spills when he tips the cup sideways to look at the bubbles. 

Last weekend we went to the Galaxy Drive-In for dinner. It was so fun! I was a little nervous because we ate at picnic tables. I didn't want to be chasing Nolan all night! But he was a big boy and sat on the bench nicely the entire time. He loved people watching (and dog watching) and waved and said byebye to the other patrons as they left. Keegan came with (dogs get free ice cream cones) and he did really well, too! He sat down or laid by us the entire time. We'll have to go back there again soon!

We also went down to the lake, which Nolan loved. He loves seeing Grandma and Papa and everyone else. We went out on the boat and Nolan fell asleep in Jason's arms! It was so sweet. Hard to do with the bright sun and bulky life jacket on, but he took a decent nap. He also had a blast playing with all the light switches in the house with Papa. 

Nolan has been very affectionate lately, giving lots of hugs and kisses. He also lays his head on my shoulder when I pick him up. I love it! Although he does give kisses to try to get out of trouble, such as when I catch him climbing on a table. He thinks a kiss will make me forget what he did. Don't know where/how he learned that, but I have to admit, it is charming! :)

Here are pictures and videos from the last few weeks.

Who, me?

Keegan was devastated when Jason and Nolan went on a bike ride without him.

Eating at the drive-in. So fun!

Big boy playing at the park.

He loves to run across the bridge. 

Nolan would have ketchup and only ketchup for a meal if I let him!

We need to keep Nolan in a dome/bubble. He now climbs fences!

Earning his keep! :)

It was a two baby kind of day. 

Realizing that I cut the baby's foot off (It was almost off already from Nolan chewing on it. I didn't want him to swallow it!)

How Keegan cools off! 

Talking to the cat. I love when he giggles and says, "No no no!"

Ahh the videos aren't working again! I'll have to do it the slow way and upload them onto my laptop, then onto the blog. I'll post them in a new post when I do.
