Layla and Nolan are so lucky to have such wonderful cousins! (and Aunt/Uncle)
Their cousins all were so gentle with Nolan and loved holding him! They also helped Layla with things and played with her! Before the Noel's came to visit Nolan was starting not to cry as much but was still crying a good part of the day. But the day they arrived and for their entire visit he hardly made a peep! It was wonderful:-) He loved watching his cousins and loved all the action in the house!

Easter with the Noel's!

We were all very excited to spend another Easter with Uncle Tim and his family...Layla was so excited to have her cousins, Aunt and Uncle visit! We couldn't wait for all of them to meet Baby Nolan! It is so nice for the five of them to travel to spend quality time with us! We cherish every moment we get to spend with them and love having them visit! They arrived around lunch time on Good Friday! It was a beautiful day which included a visit to our local park!

Easter Bunny!

Layla decided this year to sit on a chair in front of the Easter Bunny instead of his lap;) Although Nolan didn't get a choice...he had to sit on his lap and surprisingly was alright with it!

Layla's 3 year and Nolan's 2 month Check Up!!

Layla had her 3 year check up and Nolan his 2 month! Layla was excited to share her appointment with her little brother! She absolutely loves Dr. Mahoney! Dr. Mahoney played many fun games with Layla to see where she was developmentally...she did fantastic! She said that she is extremely advanced intellectually. Nolan is doing better since starting the medicine for his acid reflex. When Nolan is between 3 and 4 months old we will stop the medicine and see how he does...basically we will know at that point if he needs to be on the medicine longer.
