Well. The sun is finally out this last week. It's so refreshing to be able to play outside. We've done a lot of fun things in the yard. We also got to hang out with other moms and kids at our friends houses and go to the zoo and the park. Caleb is getting so independent now. He just takes off on his own and he's becoming very assertive. His favorite words are "top" (stop), "un-unh", and "no". He's also taken to running away when I say I'm going to change his diaper or anything else he doesn't like. He loves the bath and never wants to get out, hates bibs, loves to color and is getting really good at it, and loves going outside. He sprint-toddles for the gate to the driveway to find one large puddle that's normally there Nolan is very into the birds by our bird feeder and shrubs outside. He also likes chasing flies around with rolled up magazines when they make it into the house (not sure where he got that one).=) Nolan has some separation anxiety when I drop him off at preschool still, but he's always having a great time when I spy on him and his teachers say he's doing really well. I've gotten notes that he's great at clean-up and she uses him as a model. He's also really into space. That was the topic last week. He's counting to ten in spanish and learning some spanish words at school too. Our house plans are in to the county now so we're getting bids from contractors. Should be a crazy summer, but hopefully we'll remember to get lots of rest.

Nolan is still enjoying his trains when we're inside.

I'm enjoying the new hats they got from Grammy Diane. I can only get the kids to wear them for a short time, but they're pretty cute!

Caleb still loves his blankie! I'm going to make an album of Caleb with his blankie I think. He calls it "baypee"
Nolan has been taking great care of Caleb and gives him lots of hugs and helps him on the playground Caleb walked up and gave Nolan a hug the other day too.
These pictures were taken at the zoo.
Nolan couldn't quite get his face up to the hole, but his friend Owen was tall enough.
Unlike Nolan, Caleb really enjoys the swing. Nolan is starting to like it now so I can usually push them both if an infant seat is near a big kid swing.
Caleb is starting to pull my hair when he's in the backpack and thinks it's pretty funny. Now that he's really running around, it's the only way to carry him in busy places though.
