Crawling

Nolan has been "crawling" for a few weeks now. At first it was an army crawl, then it turned into an inch worm crawl, and then this weekend it became an official crawl. He gets so excited and smiles when he does it. It's so cute when he gives you that look like "You can't catch me!" He also will try to stand on his back legs with his hands on the ground and try to walk or get into the push up position. (If he continues at this rate, he will have abs soon!) This Christmas will definately be exciting for Nolan and for Jimmy and me. He already likes the presents under the tree and we can't wait to experience our 1st Christmas as a family of three!
