Our other cupid...

Nolan is on the downhill slope of 2. When people ask how old he is and I say almost 3, it makes me so sad! I can not believe that Nolan will be 3 in just a few short months.

Nolan is continuing to make us laugh everyday! He is the family clown and really keeps us going! He is so sweet yet has really found his attitude lately. He is getting so smart and so devious... not Nolan right?!?!? He loves his brother but like a big brother is supposed to do, terrorizes him daily! I have no doubts they will be best friends one day soon!

Nolan is really into cars right now... wonder where he gets that from? He is so ready to get outside. We have had a taste of spring lately and he is really ready! He loves to ride his "bike". He is pedaling so well. He is still having trouble sleeping... in fact sleep is non-existent some nights! We are seeing a specialist this week to see if they have any suggestions. Keep your fingers crossed! I'll keep you posted!

Our little sweetie!

He wanted to be nakey like bubby... This is as good as is gets!

10 months old... a little late!

So the truth be told... that rumor that I swore I would never be a part of about the second child not having any pictures... I fell into the trap! I have been horrible about getting pictures of poor Carson. Him being such a temperamental child does not help but I have been very slack! Carson turned 10 months old this past month. He is getting so big and changes daily!

He is becoming such a good baby! He is enjoying being able to get around on his own and now if he could just get rid of bubby he would be getting around even better! Nolan is his biggest fan and worst of enemies! Nolan loves to have Carson around but is so jealous of him. I love to watch them together. You can see how much Carson idealizes Nolan. He will just stare at him and laugh at all he does. The best thing in the world is to hear them laugh at each other.

Carson is starting to walk behind his push toy and is getting pretty good at it! When Nolan started this he was walking shortly after. Mike and I are actually very sad that he is doing this already. It seems like this year has flown by and my little guy will be 1 next month.

He LOVES to eat and will eat anything that gets near his mouth! He has 7 teeth. He sleeps all the time which is a nice change in comparison to his brother! He is very opinionated and loves to have all eyes on him. He is not talking very much but makes lots of loud crazy noises sounding more like a monkey than anything! He is busy, busy, busy! If he wonders off you better go find him because he is definitely into something! He is such a terrific part to our family! We love him so much! I have always said that I love this age better than any... he is proving me right!

Start your engines...

For Christmas Mike's parents and myself bought Mike a Nascar driving package. He had drove the race cars about 5 years ago and loved it so we decided to do it for him again. He was excited but I think Nolan was even more excited! Nolan is really into Cars the movie right now and loves race cars! We took B along with us and Johnny, Pam and Konner also met us there to watch our Nascar driver! Mike first did a ride-along with a trained professional and went 160+. He said this part was better than driving the car! Then he drove the car himself and his top speed was 139 mph.

After the racers were done on the track, the staff offered to take the boys around the track in a van! Nolan and Konner jumped at the offer. B was a little hesitant! Being the mean Aunt and Uncle we are, we made him get in. He sat stiff as a board the whole time and said "I want to go home! I don't like this!" Poor B... Nolan sat up front by himself and had this goofy grin the whole time! It was so much fun to watch this activity through their eyes!
Our pro racer... he thinks!

Dreaming of racing fast cars...
Mike racing the #88 car...
Our future race car drivers... And to think I could get them all looking and smiling... yeah right!

Nolan loved the ride on the track... When we would go on the banks we would just yell out "whooo" with a huge smile!

Spring FEVER!!!!

A couple weekends ago it was mid 70's here in Charlotte. So, after church and lunch we headed to the park with the boys. It was so much fun. It is really cool to see how grown up Nolan and B are. They were able to navigate around the whole playground by themselves and really did well entertaining each other. They are growing up so quick. The little guys enjoyed themselves also. They just stood around and watched everyone. They did a few slides and really liked those as well. After this visit to the park I really have a touch of spring fever! I look forward to a fun-filled summer with the boys...

Best buds...

And another friendship in the making...

Nolan bug...

My lil' monkey...

Nice hair B...

And that sweet lil' Heathster...Love a gummy smile!

I love this one! Watch out girls... Those Pinti boys are nothing but trouble...If we only knew what they were thinking!

Circus, Circus

For Christmas, Grandma and Papaw Pinti got us tickets to the circus. Nolan LOVED it! He did so well. He sat in his seat the whole time and did not take his eyes off the show. He has talked about it many times since. He says his favorite part was the elephants and the clown! Thanks Grandma and Papaw... We had a blast!
Quick pics before the show...
