DOUBLE DIGITS?!

This is how we get ready in the morning!
"Hey Dad! Hey Dad!"


"I know Tripp, I can't believe my mommy's letting me have this either."


" I better dig in before she realizes it's not whole wheat!"

We can't believe it either... Nola has turned double digits! Every time we hit another month I say the same thing..where did that month go? I find myself wishing for time to pass so we can be together this summer, but I have to stop myself because I don't want to wish her life away.

This month Nola has been eating more table food...mac & cheese with broccoli, chicken soup, turkey burger, frozen bagel...she tries it all (like her dad) and she loves food (like her mom). HAHA! Nola has also become more confident with crawling and pulling up. It won't be long before she walks. She is still throwing tantrums at times to see what I will do, but I have gotten better at not giving in. Although last night she was screaming and I was so out of it and I put her in her in our bed and I think I heard her whisper...SUCKER!

Next Thursday, Nana & Grumps get her for the 5th annual Andersen crawfish boil. Friday, Uncle David, Aunt Christy, Tripp, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Marcos, and Connor come too. We are SOOOOO excited for them to get here. Hurry up!

EXTRA: Pool is almost done. We are just waiting for it to be painted. Hopefully this weekend and then we'll put up pics! It looks NICE!

Shakin My Tail Featha....

Nola Rockin Out

Matthew's cousin Ryan
"Justin, look over here!"
Nola's new dance

"Hey DJ, play my song!"

Yesterday was Matthew Vicari's communion party and boy did Nola party! When we walked in there were kids EVERYWHERE on the dance floor dancing, playing, and running around. For the first 10 minutes Nola looked at us like, "What's going on?" but then she wanted to be on the ground jumping in the fun. She kept trying to crawl but her dress was in the way so we tucked it in her bloomers. It was so funny and she was off. I've never seen her crawl so fast. We all had a GREAT time. Congratulations Matthew! Enjoy the pics and bonus video!

Nosie Rosie....

"Hey where are you going? Come Back!"
"I know I'm too cute!"
"Uh Huh. Oh, no she didn't!"
"Mom & Nola"
"Cheesecake! I want this one..no I want this one...no this one...!"

Nola & I went to dinner tonight at the Cheesecake factory with Dana & Michelle. We had a nice time catching up and they LOVED holding Nola. They got such a kick out of her as the people did around us. I really thought Nola was going to get whiplash because she kept turning her head around so fast to follow everyone who passed by. I even had to apologize to the couple next to us since Nola thought she was included in their conversation and stared at them for about 3 minutes straight. Luckily, they thought it was really cute...right now! This will definitely be something we need to work on as she gets older.
