I have more I’d like to share later, but for now- a couple pics of Ben and I as babes in arms…

Ben looks like such a nice, kind, sweet, person, even as a baby- there’s just a soft look to his eyes that makes you feel like you can share your problems with him and he’ll listen patiently and offer kind consoling words….

“Huh…this guy looks verrrry interesting….”

I have a very round face- that’s the main thing I noticed about myself.  Very round.

Had to share this cute outfit and Nolan’s great ability to chew his Right Big Toe.

I’ve told myself that I would not get carried away and buy Nolan too many toys- I feel this way because I notice that when I have too many choices in life (like a menu at a restaurant) I start getting anxiety and have a very difficult time deciding what to order- it actually becomes stressful.  My thinking is that having too many toys to play with will actually overwhelm him.  I still think this, but I have bought just a few age appropriate toys now and then.  This one I couldn’t resist, even though I’m going to have to store it for like 3 years until he’s the right age for playing with it- but what gets better than a toy circular saw that has a moving blade, laser light, and makes a very realistic cutting sound when you pull the handle?  Ben uses his circular saw a lot so I see this as being a very practical copy-adults-play-time in the future.  Hey, for $7.00 I think I got a great deal!  Also saw a toy lawnmower and wheelbarrow at Kmart also for like $7.00 the other day, but these are kind of big so I think I’ll wait till he’s actually able to use them to buy.
