"Oh yeah, tunnels are cool."



"This is all it does?"

Walking video...

Well, as I mentioned, Nolan is walking...and he is getting better and better every day. It is amazing to watch how fast he learns what he can and cannot do. While he can move faster by crawling, he does rather walk, and often wants Laura or I to hold his hand and walk with him. It is hard to watch him become more and more independent!

Walking...

Nolan has decided that crawling just doesn't cut it anymore, and has decided to start walking. That's right, look out world, here comes Nolan! It is amazing to watch him learning how to balance as he negotiates his way around the living room and kitchen. However, walking has also led to climbing on almost every chair. Unlike most babies, Nolan doesn't have a healthy fear of heights (at least not yet). Once he gets up on a chair, he just throws himself down and 'thump' lands on the floor. It is a little scary, but we are hoping that he learns his boundaries before he takes a nasty fall.

We are thinking more and more about a camcorder, but for now, we will continue using our digital camera to take small video clips. It would help if I had a job (still looking) before we decide to make such a large purchase. Hopefully something will happen soon.

"Yeah, I'm pretty cute."



"Um, I think I hear the ocean?"

Video Clips Galore!!!

Clip #1: Furniture Moving
Nolan is getting more and more anxious to walk,
and has started moving furniture around just to
be able to walk on his own. Unfortunately, space
in our house is limited between Murphy and
Nolan, so we have to make due...but he is having
lots of fun.



Clip #2: What is this?
It was a beautiful day up in Centuria, WI and
Grandpa Fletcher set up an inflatable pool for
both David and Nolan...little did we know it was
going to be such a hit!




Clip #3: Ahh, Swimming, if only we knew this sooner!
It's official, Nolan loves the water. While we knew he
liked taking baths, he seems to enjoy all water and
we will probably have to get him started in swimming
lessons sooner rather than later. He was so excited
by the pool that Laura and I are thinking of getting
a small one for our deck. Don't mind the guy with
the nook in his mouth...I can see why babies become
dependent on them...mmmm, soothing!




We have been thinking more and more about
investing in a camcorder...I never thought I would
get one, but as Nolan is getting closer and closer
to walking, there will be more and more events
we will want to record so that we can embarrass
him when he gets older...sorry Nolan.
