Warp Speed Ahead!

It has been a big week here at the Bayer household. On Thursday we were getting ready for softball and as I was looking down and getting things situated in my softball bag out of the corner of my eye I see little Nolan Man crawling...I immediatly was elated and started yelling to Aaron to get into the room. You were all laughing and clapping and you could tell that Nolan was indeed proud of himself. On the way to softball I was so excited just chatting away and then something my Daycare lady Kelly said to me that day dawned on me. "Are you going to show her how you can crawl, I mean Scoot" I didn't think much of it at the time but I am pretty sure he crawled for the first time at daycare. I asked her about it the next day just because I was curious.. she kind of skirted around the question in an attempt to let me believe that he had done it at home for the first time. :)
I was really excited to hang out with the little Monkey this weekend in an attempt to refine his crawling skills but unfortunatly we had drill. My mom was here watching him and he decided to shock her by pulling himself up into a standing position, only 2 days later. So although we are extremly proud of him, we are sad that we had to miss out on 2 "firsts". Hopefully we will be blessed enough to get to be around for his first steps. Unfortunatly we have to have those stupid things called jobs. We are going on vacation next week to celebrate our anniversary so we are looking forward to lots of quality time together!

I Love Swimming!!!!!

When we first got Nolan into the water he had the "What the heck" look on his face and didn't quite know what to do. Within just a few minutes he was splashing and playing and enjoying every second of it! Ever since bath time has become a whole new game. He is laughing and splashing and playing on his tummy and rolling around in the water! It is so much fun.

Here they are at the end, and they are sooo tired...

Uncle Jeff was home over the last couple weeks and got to spend lots of quality time with Nolan.

We finally got to meet baby Miles!!! What a peanut!! It is crazy that Nolan used to be that small. Otherwise, all is well in the Bayer household. We keep thinking that Nolan is going to crawl anyday he has got the Army crawl down pat and is getting really fast. He is finally sitting up on his own, although he prefers to be on his belly so he can move.

It is so crazy to me still even though Nolan is 7 months old that we have kids, especially when Lindsey and I have all our kiddos together. It seems just yesterday her and I were in 7th grade playing softball, goofing off and making dumb jokes. Crazy that we are the adults now....now we just need to get Ang to join the club.....

We have a really busy few weeks here coming up, our jobs are crazy busy and we have an inspection coming up at the base that is always extremely busy and stressful. Then at the end of the month we are going on first family vacation and we are really excited!! Less than 3 weeks!!
