4 Months and Growing...

Nolan,

You turned 4 months old on September 28th and each day is such an amazing adventure. Your personality is starting to peak through and show itself which means you have everyone around you completely mesmerized! You have started rolling over! In fact, you like to turn over from your back to your tummy when Mommy changes your diaper (everyone says this is just the beginning of you not wanting to take the time to change your diaper).

We gave you your very first taste of rice cereal - you did not like and proceeded to give me a heart attack with choking sounds even though the rice cereal was more than thinned out.

You love to talk in this special little baby language and I love to listen to you talking! Especially in the car when you are looking out the window.

You started daycare recently and Mommy went back to work full-time! This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do (to date). I was (as everyone said I would be) an emotional basket case trying to make the right decision on going to work and where to trust that you would be safe and protected and in an environment that encouraged you to learn and grow. Well...with each new day our routine gets a little easier - the women at your nursery adore you (no surprise there). You have a natural talent for charming but the ladies just eat you up when you smile and show those dimples. You can thank your Mom for those!

You are the light of my life and my whole existence has been wrapped up in the single act of being your Mom. My only wish is that one day when you are older and reading this that you know without a doubt how much you are loved!
