A Weekend of Firsts & Fun

What a fun weekend! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and our little guy was on his best behavior. We were able to get out and about quite a bit and enjoy the kick-off to summer. Nolan got to experience quite a few firsts this weekend too.

-He went on his first picnic where he got to meet Mo and Angie, Aunt Wendy's college roommates, and took his first nap under a tree!

-He went to his first parish picnic, Bonifest, and got to watch Mommy and Daddy stuff themselves with bbq and gyros. He was amazed by all of the people there. He sat in the Baby Bjorn and held tight to Mommy!

-Nolan also got to go swimming in Grandma's pool for the first time... and he LOVED it! We hoped he would like swimming since he enjoys baths so much but were worried the cold water would scare him. That was definitely not the case though! He really seemed to like it... and he looked adorable in his little tiny trunks and sun hat!

-He attended his first bbq! Sunday was Aunt Sue's Memorial Day BBQ and the weather was perfect. Nolan obviously didn't get to partake in the yummy food, but he did enjoy visiting with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was quite the little chatter box too. It seems he has discovered his voice!

Chris and I had a big weekend too. We officially became Godparents to Zoe on Sunday at her baptism. It was a nice ceremony and Z looked ADORABLE! She was a perfect little lady through the entire ceremony. Hopefully Nolan will be that good. We'll see! Curt and T had a really nice party afterwards at their house and we were able to visit with everyone. Nolan slept through the party, which allowed Mommy and Daddy to eat their food at a normal pace and visit a little bit.

I went to the Gypsy Caravan yesterday with Christie, Teresa, and Violet. It was pretty neat. I didn't buy anything... except a giant corndog... but it a good time. I got a little sunburned, but it felt great being outside. Violet was an angel all day. She has the tiniest voice I've ever heard!

It was a really nice weekend. We are really excited now for our trip to FL next Saturday! We have a lot to get accomplished this week though. Should be a busy one, but there's a great reward at the end of the week! I can't wait to have an entire week with Nolan... and of course the fact that we will be at the beach doesn't hurt either! :)

As you can see below, all of the fun made for a sleepy baby!
