Nolan, I can't even tell you how much joy you bring to my life. Everyone that meets you falls in love with you instantly. You are so sweet, funny and crazy that I never know what you are going to do next. One minute you will crawl up on the couch and sit by me and put your arm around me, the next you will head butt me and then free fall off the couch.
You love dogs. You love cows. You love your Papa. But man oh man, do you love your brother. In the morning when I go to get you out of your crib your first word is "brother?". When I pick you up from daycare and we walk to the car, you say "brother?" You are your brother's little shadow and not only do you follow him everywhere, you also imitate him and play with whatever he plays with. I don't even know why you have age appropriate toys because all you want to do is play with his legos and ninja turtles.
You have really started talking and you love to read books.....way more than I do! You are very insistent and will keep putting one in my hand until I stop what I'm doing and sit down and read to you. You enjoy your daycare and don't really fuss that much when I drop you off anymore. You say "walk" and you run in as fast as you can, pet the little rabbit that lives up front and then run back to your classroom. Every day when I pick you up you run straight to me with arms out wide, almost knock me over with your hug, say "paper" and get your daily sheet, study it really intently, then you bring it to me and kiss and hug me.
You love to dress up in anything that isn't yours, so it's never a suprise to see you walk in with my heels on, a stocking cap, sunglasses and a random glove. You really like wearing hats and sunglasses. You've also learned to roll your tongue and have found the joy of sticking your finger in your nose. You are a great eater and I'm a bit scared of my future grocery bills based on your current intake. Not only do you eat a lot, you love to eat. There are lots of mmmmmm sound effects going on if you really like what you are eating.
We've had a great summer and you have loved playing outside and going to the lake. I'm excited for FALL to be here because not only is it my favorite time of year, but it is our birthdays! I can't believe you are almost 2!
I love you so much little buddy. I love watching you learn and form your little personality. You are going to be a handful and I'm seeing some glimpses of the "2's" coming out in you, but I'm sure you will be able to smile your crooked little grin at me and I'll get over anything you do pretty quickly.
