Tales of Baby McCabe: Summer is here!

Well almost here. But summer activities have started! The splash pad is open and Nolan could not be more delighted. We've gone once and will go there again this week. Liam was hesitant at first, but started to enjoy it near the end of our first trip there. The water is cold, so I can't blame him.

Both boys got haircuts. William didn't need it on top, but he sure needed it in the back. His haircut makes him look so much older. I've used pomade to slick it down and style it, and he looks so adorable! The pomade doesn't hold his hair down for long, though. His hair just wants to stick straight up!

Jason and Nolan went to the lake this weekend and got our boat in the water. Nolan got to go on a boat ride and a pontoon ride. He loved it. Hopefully Liam will like it too! Too bad he can't fit into a more comfortable life jacket. He's just a skinny guy! I can't wait to get on the lake though. We'll have to get down there soon!

Both boys are doing well. They are battling a cold right now, which is no fun. But it isn't holding them back too much. Liam is saying more and more, which is fun to hear. Nolan has some cute sayings lately, such as "Sure I can!" It's so cute how he says it. At night when I put him to bed he will mimic what I say to make me giggle. I'll purposely say things like "Nolan is a silly boy" and he will switch it to say "mommy is a silly girl." He also will mimic all the kisses I give him, which I love because he isn't the biggest snuggler/isn't super affectionate. He has moments when he is though, and I eat it up. On the other hand, Liam is so very snuggly and affectionate. He will randomly back up into you to sit in your lap and will shower your face, arm, shoulder, etc. with kisses. It's the sweetest thing ever.

It's fun (and bittersweet) to see Nolan changing into a kid from a toddler. He is really thinking things through, rationalizing things, and coming up with solutions. The other day he wanted my dad to play in his fort, and my dad said he couldn't because he was in work clothes and couldn't get them wrinkled. Without missing a beat Nolan very seriously suggested, "You can get naked and play in the fort." Duh, Papa. Hadn't you thought of that!? Haha.

Both boys get so excited when Jason comes home from work. It's really cute. They have a ritual of going upstairs while Jason changes out of work clothes and playing up there. But Nolan gets absolutely devastated if he doesn't get to see Jason before work in the morning. Some days we have to call or FaceTime with him, otherwise Nolan is distraught.

Here are some recent pictures! I need to upload my videos soon. I have a bunch of them.
