Officially Fall

Where has the time gone!? I can't believe it's mid-October! We have been having so much fun the past few weeks enjoying fall. We've gone on lots of walks, played at parks, jumped in leaf piles, visited Gustavus for Homecoming, and gotten together with family and friends. 

Both boys are doing well. William has gotten two new teeth (bottom), with the other top two coming soon. His fun personality is showing more and more. He can be such a ham! He loves cracking us up. He also is such an animal lover...don't know where he gets that from! Haha. Still such a momma's boy! He is so sweet though. 

Nolan has been doing well, too. This week was rough with back-talk and tantrums, but hopefully this rough patch will pass soon. We have started potty training, which has been going pretty well! He has been wearing underwear during the day and diapers at night since last Wednesday. He has only had a handful of accidents. He has been doing extremely well with telling us when he needs to go potty, and he sits down and goes. We have had success with pooping on the potty, but he isn't comfortable with it yet, so we've also had some accidents with that the last few days. However, we are so proud of Nolan! I have been able to take him places and been confident that he won't have an accident. He has great bladder control and is so good about telling us when he has to go. We just have to get him comfortable going #2 on it now. 

Jason and I leave for Las Vegas on Wednesday. We are bringing the boys to Jason's parents on Tuesday night. They'll stay with them until Saturday, then my parents will take them until we fly home on Sunday. I'm super excited for Vegas, but already don't want to say goodbye to the boys. I'm going to miss them so much! I know they'll have so much fun with all the grandparents, though. I'm worried about Liam though, since he's such a momma's boy. Hopefully he'll do ok! 

Cute things Nolan has said:
You look pretty, Mommy. 
You're the best Mommy. 
I need pri-a-y (privacy)! Said while on the potty
I am sad we are not going to the mall. 
Stinky Pete! Said to someone who is being grumpy or naughy (in Nolan's opinion)
What does the fox say? 
There's a snake in my boot! 



Jason and our new nephew John Robert :)

After a rough week of back-talk and tantrums, we had a good Friday

Future Johnny? Jason thinks so!

  
It's owl hat season!

Silly Nolan! Proud of his potty chart though. This is just from the first day! 


What do you mean this isn't how to use the elliptical?! 

Fall fun! Nolan is holding his own hand instead of mine. Mr. Independent 

I die! My mom saved this note I wrote her 

Excited for some tv show 

Liam loves climbing on these. He can't wait to be able to ride them on his own 

I love these two! 

Nolan was pretty unsure of Gus. 

Keegan loves this. Can't you tell?

Peek!

They love his cart at Byerly's 

My fur baby 

I love this little man!
