Some thoughts from Mommy....

Since Bryan usually is the only one who updates the blog, I thought I would make an attempt at joining in on the fun of blogging. Our life has changed a lot over the past 2 months, and I thought I would share in some of the realizations I've had on the adjustment to motherhood.

You know you're a new mom when....

1. You go grocery shopping at 6 am when Daddy and Baby are still sleeping and WalMart is not as crazy ..... you can take your time and use coupons......exciting!
2. Daddy is watching the baby so you can run to a doctor's appointment.....you realize you're desperate for a haircut.... on a whim you go to Borics...ahh!
3. It's 2 pm and you're still in your pajamas...
4. It's 5 pm and you're still in your pajamas...
5. Oh wait....you're in your pajamas all day...
6. An exciting day out is going to Panera and Babies R Us.
7. You schedule everything around when baby eats and sleeps.
8. You cheer and get excited over baby's bowl movements and burps.....
9. You make up new songs and dances so baby will stop crying...
10. When changing Baby at Panera you forget to be careful and you get peed on....it sprays up over the changing table, onto the floor, onto your sweater, and in your hair! You scream because of shock....and realize there are 2 other people in the bathroom hearing it all!

I'm sure I'll have more moments in the weeks to come....I'll update later........ :)

Nolan's First Christmas

Nolan had a wonderful first Christmas! He spent Christmas at Grammy and Poppy Smart's house. He had a great time hanging out with Aunt Lizzie, Uncle Brian, Grammy and Poppy. He had many visitors come see him. Great Grandpa Smart, Great Grandma Fogle, Great Aunt Ruth, Jenni, Bethie, Krystal, Loren, Raina, Mike, and Aunt Ange came to visit over the break! He also got to see the Anglin Family when they came over on Christmas Eve. Nolan gave Mommy and Daddy the best gift ever....he slept 7 straight hours on Christmas Eve! Nolan got a lot of nice presents from everyone. He got a book, a wipe warmer, Veggie Tale DVDs, some new outfits, ornaments, and his first Elmo stuffed toy. Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Brian got us an amazing camcorder to use to record all of the special moments we will have.
Nolan is smiling a lot more lately! He is starting to hold his head up more and on Christmas Day he rolled over from his tummy to his back! Check out the pictures below...we caught the moment!
