Changes
We are due for a big cold snap here in Minnesota, and I just keep thinking warm thoughts. Nolan changes so much so fast it's hard to keep track. Just looking through the pictures from a few short months ago to now is quite amazing. He is sleeping through the night, thanks to a book called "The Sleep Sense Program" by Dana Odelman. I highly recommend it. My boss gave it to me, I suppose after one too many days of me coming to work looking like what I can only describe as a refugee. She also had a little one that wasn't fond of sleep so she was very empathetic.
We are planning on buying a new house this summer. Please keep us in your positive thoughts and hope that the current housing slump doesn't impact our ability to sell the townhouse. I think we will be a good position to get a much bigger house than we could have a couple of years ago, assuming we can get rid of our current one. It will be a bittersweet moment for us, this is the house that Karl & I have made a lot of memories in. But believe me, we need the space. Besides the fact that Karl is a 'saver', baby toys these days are not small. Gone are the days of the rattle. Now we have computer operated, MP3 connected, battery reliant,decibel blasting, light emitting 'learning' agents. I miss empty cardboard boxes.
Stay Warm, wherever you are.

Pictures
- Another music prodigy?
- "Do I have something on my face?"
- "I can bounce! I can bounce!"
- Nolan in his Jumparoo.
Happy 5 Months
It is hard to believe that Nolan is 5 months old today. Time sure is flying by, and it is absolutely amazing how fast he changes. Already Nolan is able to roll over quite well, both front-to-back as well as back-to-front. We can really tell he is anxious to start moving, as he gets frustrated when there are toys just out of his reach. While we are very excited to see him crawl, once Nolan becomes mobile, look out world. There is lots to do to make sure he can move around this house safely.
Nolan loves his Jumparoo! (thank you Sarah!) He just goes crazy in that thing, which means that we can have almost a half-hour to get things done while he entertains himself. I'm starting to think that Nolan, like most boys, is going to be a bit of a thrill seeker, as he really likes the activities that involve lots of motion - jumping, bouncing, and running. It will be interesting to see what he likes in the future.
Not much planned for his 5 month birthday. A couple naps, and a visit by Aunt Tivoli. This weekend we are planning to start the process of getting him to fall asleep by himself, and hopefully, sleep through the night. So far he wakes up twice a night, and with Laura working and me heading back to my last semester of graduate school, we both need to make sure we get as much sleep as we can. It will be challenging, but the rewards will be worth it.
