Nolan & Daddy's Birthday

Saturday was a very special day for the Yonemura family! We celebrated Nolan's first birthday! May 28th is such a special day because not only is it Nolan's birthday but also his Daddy's. I always tell my husband that Nolan is the best birthday present that he will ever have (he agrees). We celebrated with a "golf theme" since Daddy LOVES golf and Nolan has become quite fond of playing with his little plastic clubs - it just fit all around. It was a beautiful sunny day despite concerns about rain and our family and close friends came out to help celebrate this momentous day. Each day Nolan grows and I am amazed at how blessed I am to be his Mother. Cheesy as it sounds, I often tell my husband and Nolan (even though he doesn't quite understand yet) how I was destined to be his Mother and that God's plan for me was greater and more full of love than the one I had imagined for myself. Here are some photos - there are more to come including a video!

9 Months and Growing!

Rock-A-Bye Baby!

We made brief trip to Orangeburg for a fabulous Saturday night dinner this weekend. While we were there my Mom (a.k. Grandma) pulled out a miniature rocker recliner that I remembered fondly from my own childhood. She and Grandaddy had it refinished and recovered to match a larger rocker that my Mom used for the three of us. Nolan LOVED it and for the rest of the night proceeded to rock himself. I see a many future memories being created in this chair. Check it out...

Happy 8 Months!

Happy 8 Months My Sweet Baby! You are doing so much and growing at an unbelieveable rate! You love to talk, crawl, stand, climb over your train and take baths! At this point your Daddy and I think you might just jump right into walking since you love to be on your feet rather than your knees. You also just started feeding yourself! You LOVE anything banana flavored (and who can blame you). You would prefer to eat fruits and cheese favored stuff and stay away from anything veggie or meat flavored (this has been challenging). *Although yesterday you ate some spagetti O's and seemed to like them. We can't wait to watch you continue to grow over the coming months but here are a few photos and videos to capture you right now! Love, your Mommy.
