Ging & Pop

Ging and Pop are so very young at heart and LOVE to play with Nolan. Ging got to come down to Destin for 5 days during Spring Break and spend lots of time loving on Nolan. Pop joined a few days later. They enjoyed walks around the block, lunch at the Hilton, and lots of toy & snuggle time at the house. We are so thankful that Ging & Pop are a part of Nolan's life. Besides spoiling him with clothes and toys, the best thing they give him is their love.



Enjoying an afternoon at the Hilton for lunch at Barefoots and dipping Nolan's feet in the pool.

7 Months and Loving Life!

You are our everything Mr. Nolan Douglass.  You take our breath away, bring endless smiles to our face, and entertain us in so many ways.  Not a day goes by where we don't thank God for you.  You are 7 months and full of life.  Here is what you are up to these days:

*Say dada.  Not so sure you know what it means, but you do know it is important.
*Learning the signs milk, more, mama, dada.
*Waving hello to people.
*Rolling over on your tummy in your sleep and will often stay that way.
*Have a new toy, Scout.  We play with him every morning.
*Finally went swimming for the first time, and loved it!
*Eating solids almost everyday.  Your newest tastes are sweet potatoes and pears mixed together.
*Have cut your 2 bottom teeth.
*Still prefer nursing over a bottle, but will willingly take either.
*Love when there are lots of people around.  The more the merrier with you, kiddo.
*Aren't showing any signs of crawling, but I know that won't last much longer.
*Still sleeping through the night (minus that week of craziness when you started cutting your bottom teeth).
*Can't get enough of peek-a-boo


You're growing too fast!  I want this to slow down.  Every month is bittersweet.  I love seeing you do new things, but I hate that it is going by too fast.  Hopefully, we will have a little brother or sister for you to play with soon.  Mommy and daddy pray everyday that the Lord will grant us the desires of our heart and add to our family of 3!  You will be a great big brother one day, Nolan.  But for now, we are thankful for YOU.






How can you not fall in love with this little man?  Daddy and I can't wait to watch him discover, grow, and learn.  Hopefully, though, it won't go too fast-one can wish, right?
