Nolan Paxton Schneider 11/27/12

  

Nolan will be 1 year old in just a little over a month. CRAZY how time flies! He has 4 teeth and amazingly still nursing... I haven't had to throw him across the room yet. (totally joking, no not really, kinda, well anyway- I have never thrown a child across a room.) lol! 

I worry he isn't getting enough milk one week, and then the next I feel FULL when he thinks he's done... funny growth spurts I guess.

Nolan and Charlie fill my days with laughter and yelling and usually more laughter!

Nolan like to tackle his brother. He crawls ontop of him and grunts. It's hillarious... Until Charlie thinks its his turn to tackle Nolan. LOL! Nolan isn't so tough when he is on the bottom.

However, It won't be long and Nolan and Charlie will be basically the same size.

Right now- Charlie is weighing in at 26 pound at age 2.5

Nolan is weighing in just shy of 22 pounds at age 11 months.

Grandma Schneider playing with Charlie.

Becky is here for a few days- soaking in all the Grandbaby JOY! Nolan has been extra fussy the last few days- but all in all- its been a good visit. 

It will finally be warm enough for a walk today- going to head to the park near our house.

Hey Ya'll (yes, I'm saying Ya'll now...)

I just wanted to send an encouraging word to you today. I know that you are busy- we are all busy. I know you have families and jobs and friends and husbands- who all think they need your FULL attention. I get that- I live that everyday!

This week I have been able to wake up before the kids- while it is still very quiet in the house. Drink my cup of coffee, and spend some much needed time with (I know you think I am going to say the Lord- or maybe my business...) MYSELF!

My day is busy from the moment Nolan cries to the moment Jason goes to bed... So those few precious moments- I've been taking for ME! Don't get me wrong- I still make time for the Lord and my business- but I needed some ME time.
So whatever that looks like for you... take a few moments- get a happy hour drink without the kids or walk around the block while your hubby tucks in the little ones- just go for a drive or sit and enjoy the quiet- but take a few minutes this week and CELEBRATE yourself! YOU are worth celebrating- each and everyone of you!
