Nolan's new sleep position...

So yesterday I put Nolan down for his nap and about 30 minutes later this is how I found him...

Apparently sitting up and sleeping in a new fad, lol! I did move him onto his back beacuse this just didn't look comfortable :)

Happy Thanksgiving a little late...

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

Love, The Gibsons

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, we sure did. It was so nice to be with both our families on this day. For the past few years my family has been invited by Jim's family to join the festivites over at their house. This is such a blessing especially now that we have Nolan, that everyone can be in one place! We always have so much fun preparing dinner, eating appetizers, drinking, playing cornhole and of course Kaylie and I giving all those State fans a hard time...GO HEELS!! I am so thankful to have a such a loving family, husband and sweet baby boy!!

Somebody was getting tired :)

"Mom, enough with the pictures already!"

#1 Fan...

So I've been a real slacker recently when it comes to updating my blog but boy have I been busy. Between work, entertaining an almost 10 month old (sniff, sniff) and getting ready for the holidays, I just haven't had time to do anything extra.

Today I worked a half day, got off at noon and headed to NC State's campus to meet Nolan (he was with G'ma) and watch Kaylie's last volleyball match of the season. Nolan was such a good boy especially since the match was during nap time. Unfortunately they lost and Kaylie was not very happy. Two of her brothers go to State and are constantly giving her a hard time so I'm sure she's really going to hear it now, poor thing! Oh well, Nolan is still your #1 fan Auntie Kaylie!! Love you!

Well it's off to bed for me! Tomorrow is going to be a fun but busy day for us! Happy Thanksgiving a few hours early. Hopefully I'll have plenty to blog about tomorrow :)

Trip to NY...

Last Friday my sister Heather and I took a trip up to NY for my best friend Tina's baby shower!! She's due in early December with a sweet baby boy, Joey :) It was great to see everyone and fun to visit the old homestead. Nolan stayed home with Jim and I missed his terribly but when I got home Sunday all was well, Jim did a great job, I never doubted that he would :) Though it was a fun little trip I was happy to get home to my boys and some warmer weather! How in the world did I live there half my life?!? Lol!

Hopefully I will be making a trip up again real soon!! I can't wait to meet baby Joey but I guess I'll let the new parents get settled in a little first!

Nolan's 9 month checkup...

I'm a little late posting this considering Nolan's appointment was last Tuesday but I went out of town this past weekend so I was busy preparing for my trip.

Big guy weighed in at 19.7 lbs! He is 29.5 inches long and his head measured 18 inches. Dr. Steele had nothing but great things to say about him! Best of all, he didn't have to get any shots! I am so greatful that he is such a healthy, happy boy!

Waiting for Dr. Steele :)

Nolan destroyed the paper

they lay down on the table!

Happy 9 months Nolan James!!

Nolan is 9 months old today! Boy, does time fly! We have his 9 month well check at 1:30pm today so I'll be updating this later with all his stats :)

Happy Halloween a few days late...

Ok, so I'm a few days late but better late than never right?!?

Happy Halloween 2009

From

The Gibson Family :)

We started the evening off trick-or-treating at the UNC Dean Dome after Kaylie's volleyball match. The whole team was out on the court handing out candy and signing autographs for all the kids. Of course Nolan made a bee-line straight for his Auntie, he even walked to her himself (with some help from Daddy). We visited with Kaylie and her friend/roommate Lexi who's here all the way from Bulgaria!! Nolan had lots of fun and even got some candy for Mommy and Daddy, lol!

"Here I come Autie Kaylie!"

When we got home we loaded Nolan up in his stroller and walked down to my parent's street (they live the next street over from us, lol). We visited with my Mom and Dad and all their neighbors who just adore Nolan. Grandpa and Grandma gave Nolan a little Halloween gift (my child's not spoiled I tell you!) and he had a blast playing in their bowl of Halloween candy. It was a great night and a very eventful first Halloween for our little man!
