Happy 3rd birthday Nolan!

-
Last weekend we celebrated Nolan's 3rd birthday.  Right now he is so interested and obsessed with garbage trucks so we decided to capitalize on it. I ordered this cute shirt from etsy and the moment it arrived in the mail he insisted on wearing it.  Needless to say, I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.
Look at how proud he is wearing this shirt! 

This garbage truck was given to us by the McClelland family and it has been attached to Nolan.  It has been to the beach, he eats breakfast muffins out of the back, and now even in the bathtub.
When Carter woke up on Nolan's birthday, he asked to make him a poster.  He was very pleased with his creation.  Nolan loved it and pretended to pop the balloons.
Maw Maw, Paw Paw, and the Vilts got him this cool water squirter with the water tank as a backpack. He loved it and to tell you the truth he looked like a little "ghost buster".  Here he is spraying his number on the sidewalk.

He requested a garbage truck birthday cake.  After looking to have it made from either Giant Eagle, Sam's Club, Walmart, and a local bakery they were not able to make it happen.  So what to do??  PINTEREST! Maw Maw helped to frost it and make it look like a garbage truck…mission accomplished!

He loved singing along with us as we sang "Happy Birthday"

Spraying water all over!

On his birthday breakfast he requested "warm eggs". Blowing out a candle in some scrambled eggs.

His birthday present: A digger.  Bob created this great digger space full of dirt and sand where he can sit on digger and just dig.  He loves it.

Our youngest baby is already three.  How did he grow up so fast?  He is such a great blend of both Carter and Landon's personalities.  We can't help but laugh at his cute expressions and sayings.  We love this little guy to pieces.

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
