Easter Bunny!

This afternoon I took Nola to see the Easter Bunny at the mall with Aunt Susie. Nola was the perfect child, as always. In front of us was a little 3 year old girl who was soooo happy before the Easter Bunny got there, but when she had to sit next to him, she became a different child. She was screaming her head off and threw herself off the bench. I did not laugh though because I thought I may be getting a glimpse into the future.

I have been home with Nola since Friday because Jay's been sick and I have been having so much fun with Nola. Everything she does is amazing. She is giving kisses now, starting to wave bye-bye a little, and she even cried for me when Jay was holding her. This tells me that she is becoming a good manipulator, but we love her like crazy!

I don't want to go back to work!!!

MS. DRAMA QUEEN!

We put Nola down for her morning nap, but she was a little too noisy. Jay and I checked on her and this is what we found.

We immediately lowered her matress.


Later, Nola continued to practice her new trick, STANDING! What a poor little soul!
DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!
She is SOOOO dramatic! It's too funny now, but I think it might get old really quickly. I wonder who she gets that from?!

P.S. Jay had to take his first sick day (since I've known him) from work because he has acute bronchitis. He has quarantined himself in the middle room since Thursday. He keeps pacing around, saying how bored he is, so it's pretty funny!

8 Months!

Where are these months going? We can't believe how fast our baby girl is growing up! Nola has been doing a lot of fun new things over the last few days. She is now an independent crawler! This girl is "On a mission" at all times. It is so funny to watch her determination. She knows what she wants!

She has also pulled herself up for the first time tonight. Nola is unstoppable. Right now I am LOVING this stage because we are moving nonstop while we are together and I feel like I am burning a lot of calories.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had my first heart break the other night. I was feeding Nola her bedtime bottle, just like every night, when Jay came downstairs and Nola wanted to go to him. He hugged and kissed her and gave her back, when she screamed SO LOUD. It was as if I was hurting her. We tried this three times, all unsuccessful. She only wanted her daddy. I gave her back to Jay and went to ShopRite and cried the whole way there. I guess she really is a Daddy's Girl! :)

In other news....Uncle Keith and Aunt Heather got engaged on Leap Day. Yeah!!! Aunt Ne and Uncle Dan found out they are having a beautiful baby BOY! That's right "Little Dan!" Nola can't wait to meet her new cousin. We are also having someone come give us an estimate on renovating our kitchen. Keep your fingers crossed we can do it in our price range!
