New Words

Nolan can say "stinky." I've been asking him if he's stinky to see if he has pooped his pants, and he's picked it up...with incredible acumen.

Oh, and he can say ice cream, toothpaste, and yogurt.

More things Nolan can say

Nolan is now picking up more words on a daily basis. I'll try to keep posting when he learns another one.

Knee (he hurt his knee and told us about it)
BrrCold (that's one word)
Chip

And the duck loses.

Nolan generally likes wildlife. All sorts of animals are quite fascinating to him.

My sister has a fuzzy duck. This fuzzy duck quacks out one note of "Old MacDonald" every time you flap his mouth. He's a puppet. Did I forget that part?

Jill tried entertaining Nolan with the fuzzy duck, which scared the peedoodles out of Nolan. He spent the whole of "Quacked Old MacDonald" snuggled into daddy's chest. So Jill took pity on him and took the duck with her to the couch to watch the BSU/UO Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

The duck was innocently sitting on the couch, when Nolan peeked over the back and spied the evil duck. He quietly creeped around, retrieving his trusty Nerf suction-dart gun, slowly advancing on his enemy's position. At the last second, he jumped up, took aim and BLEW THE DUCK AWAY!

Thus spake Nolan. The Duck is no more.

What Nolan Can Say

I thought Jan 1 would be a good day to give a Nolan update.

He's *finally* talking. We were very concerned, because for the longest time, he would not even say "Mama" or "Dada"

The silly boy did what he's done for every major milestone: He waited until he could do it perfectly, then just did it. He went from saying absolutely nothing to talking in sentences.


So, here's what Nolan's saying as of Jan 1, 2007:

Mama
Dada
Maamaw (Grandma) (a in Ma prounounced like au in laugh)
Papa (Grandpa)
I want that
What's that
I want it
Aly
More
Uh-oh
No
Yes
Bye-bye
Juice
