Have a Merry Christmas! We hope to see you soon.

Much Love,
Elizabeth, Jason, & Nolan

Mr. Giggle Box

Just when we think we can't love him anymore he gives us a laugh like this! He brings so much joy to us everyday! As you can see from the video we are getting the house ready for Christmas. Hope everyone is doing well.

Morning Fun

Every morning he loves to crawl to the window and play with the window crank and chew on the window sills.



He also really likes his footed fleece pajamas.

Climbing the stairs

He loves to crawl up the stairs and then slide down. We do this many times a day! It is a great way to wear him out before bed! And yes he is still sleeping really well. (10 straight hours a night!!!)

Playing with Grace

They are almost 2 months apart, but they play well together.



Nolan and Grace playing at our visit for dinner with Missy and Chris. It is a lot of fun watching them grow up and begin to interact with each other.

Exhausted!!!

Nolan was very tired from a morning of working outside with dad carrying and stacking wood.



Never fails, once he gets in the backpack he is sleeping before he gets out!

9 Months: Starting to walk

Nolan is growing so fast. Now he is walking holding on to toys. And he is the fastest crawler around!



He is now 9 months old. Where does the time go? He loves to walk around with his push toys, crawl up the stairs, and play with his blocks.

Nap Time

After Jason being gone for a week we were excited to have him home. Here are the boys taking an afternoon nap. Nolan is feeling better it was a rough 5 days from a cold to a fever to an ear infection to an allergic reaction to his medicine. He is feeling better now, we are all relieved!

Our Little Pumpkin!

Nolan's 1st Halloween was a success! It was a perfect night. He's the cutest little pumpkin!



Just playing in the leaves waiting to go trick or treating.

All smiles with my dad.

The Happy Family ready to go trick or treating.

Grandma and Grandpa Firek stopped to see me.

Winter is coming! Our Little Shrek!

Well winter is coming and here is a peak at Nolan's new winter hat! You can also see his four teeth in this picture! He is so much fun. He is getting a real personality, a bit stubborn at times. He can crawl as fast as we can walk and he is climbing the stairs! Next it will be walking, and we aren't sure if we are ready for that yet...

Picking out the perfect Pumpkin

He had to touch the pumpkins to find the perfect one.


He was taking his time and enjoying the beautiful weather.


Nolan helped scoop out all the insides. He was a bit unsure.

He loves to be right in the middle of the action!

And yes he fits inside his pumpkin. We are working on carving a face!

Visiting Aunt Meg & Uncle Theron in Rhode Island

We went to Rhode Island. Here we are in Newport at the Cliff Walk. It was great to see them both, we miss them lots.



The happy Family! He is such a joy.



Just Smiling!

Almost 8 months!

Wow time flies. Nolan is such a joy in our lives. He continues to grow so fast. He now has 4 teeth, he is crawling everywhere , and pulling himself to stand at every chance. We are busy but enjoying every minute. We are also in our new house and Nolan is sleeping through the night!!!

Full of smiles all the time. Happiest baby ever.



Just working with dad. (aka Future Stock Broker)



Chewing on some blocks. Trying to cut my top teeth.



Still happy!



Leaving our house in Royal Oak. Nolan's first home!



Pulling up on everything at our new house.



Crawling fast and furious

Now 7 Months and growing fast. It is so fun to watch and enjoy him. He is now crawling/scooting backwards all over the place! We have our hands full!

Blueberry lipstick anyone? One of his many favorite foods!

Just visiting the new house. How do you like my teeth?

Eating bananas all by myself!

Enjoying the grass

Teething on a stick!

He is growing so fast.

Nolan loves to swim!!!

Here is a short clip of Nolan enjoying the water at Burt Lake over Labor Day with Paige. Summer was very fun and busy. We have enjoyed all the milestones. We can't believe how time has flown by. Nolan is a wonderful baby with lots of personality and character. We are lucky to be his paretns. He is getting big so fast, almost 7 months old!

Summer went too fast

Just playing in the grass at Burt Lake

Water tastes better from a cup, he won't drink it from a bottle. So big.

So happy playing with Muggy

Up North at Lake Leelanau over Labor Day

See my two teeth! Just playing on the dock at Burt Lake!

Growing So Fast

He likes to be a big boy and sit in the car all by himself.

Always Smiling :)

Little Froggie still loves his bath time.

Playing golf with daddy!
