Nolan met Santa!!

Jim and I took Nolan to the mall this evening to meet Santa. We weren't sure if he was going to cry or not but we figured either way we had to have his 1st picture with Santa!

Well, it turns out Nolan did great! We had to wait in line for about 30-45 minutes and then it was his turn! I brought him over to Santa and sat him on his lap. He sort of looked at me like "why are you handing me to this man?" I stepped away and of course started making crazy faces and sounds in an effort to get Nolan to look at the camera. He just sat there and looked right at the camera but never cried or smiled, lol. Overall it was a great first experience and Santa was so nice and patient with us. Let me just say that man is a saint!

Happy 10 months Nolan!

Today is Nolan's 10 month birthday! I can not believe that my itty bitty is already 10 months old! Where does the time go?!?

Tomorrow N is going to visit Victoria Kelly to have his pictures taken! She is a wonderful lady and we just love her! I'll be posting some of his shots as soon as I can!

Well it's off to bed for me! A 10 month old + picture session = one busy day tomorrow!

Nolan's 1st Carolina Hurricanes game!!

On Monday night Jim and I took Nolan to his first Carolina Hurricanes game! We had great box seats that my Dad got us and Nolan had a blast. We met Stormy and Nolan loved him and was not scared at all. He tried to hold his hand! I'm hoping this means he won't be scared of Santa either, lol. The Canes didn't do so well but it was still a great night and little man hung in there like a big kid. I swear, nothing phases this child :)

Meeting Stormy for the 1st time

Jim, Nolan and I :)

Cheesing it up!

Watching the game from

his own leather seat, lol!

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!
