Nolen William Barnes was born 15 months ago! He is outgoing, energetic, silly, wild, funny, crazy, adventurous, calm, passive, attentive, lovable, and kind. I often joke to my friends that my boys are extreme opposites. This seems to become more true every day. Nolen has patience, compassion, and hardly cries. Is he really mine?
Nolen slept through the entire night last night for the first time in... well... a year! It was a miracle! He still has some tummy issues but we are working to figure out what causes all the gas and pain so that he can rest (and so I can rest).
Nolen can almost say "ball" and says "mamma". He can climb up on the couch and loves to play in dangerous places. He follows Edward example and tries to do everything his older brother does. He loves to sit on my lap and watch baby Einstein for hours. He is so attentive. He hardly ever puts up a fight, he just goes with the flow. He loves car rides and will often fall asleep if we are in the car for more than 20 minutes. Nolen can ride his little ride on car and drive his Thomas the Train. He is so smart. He smiles and giggles and loves to laugh. He is so sweet and very understanding of his older brothers needs. Nolen is curious and hardly stays on the same task for long. He is a picky eater and will spit something out if he doesn't like it. Nolen does not like to hold my hand. He wants to walk all by himself just like Edward. Nolen only gets upset if I take him away from something that he loves, like walking up and down the ramp at the gym or just walking all by himself. He loves to be outside. It has been too cold lately to spend a long time outside but we still try.
I love my sweet little Nolen. He is a true joy to be around and he was meant to be in our family. He is wonderful. He charms everyone he meets and is the life of the party. I am so grateful to have him be a part of my life. I am filled with love each morning I pull him out of his crib (at 5 AM no less). I think these pictures tell the true story of sweet little Nolen Barnes.

Oh he is growing so quickly! I had to look twice, he looks like Edward!
He is definitely a sweetie! :-)
It's so amazing how even at 5 am, all we have to see is the face of our adorable children and all anger about the early wake-up call is forgotten! :)
