Curious George?????

I was doing the dishes the other morning unaware that my Nolan boy was planning something very devious. Normally I do the dishes in the morning, because our dishwasher is so LOUD, and Nolan loves to help!! He likes to pull all the silverware out of the holder and then put it all back in. So when I started hearing the clatter of silverware I thought nothing of it.....
Then it got real quiet. I look down to see that Nolan has climbed on top of the dishwasher standing up to get the dishes on the top rack! As soon as I see it I yell to Jake to grab the camera! When Jake got it Nolan was already on the verge of getting down, because he knew that he was being a naughty boy. I mean, look at that face in the first picture. Doesn't that scream, "oh no, I'm going to be in trouble"? I thought it was so funny!!! It is hard to get mad at them when they are so DANG cute!!!

I think the reason why Nolan has started to climb on things is because I was trying to teach him how to climb up on his rocking chair. He would get so frustrated when he couldn't do what his friend Kate could, so I thought I would teach him. Probably not the best decision on my life, but at least he's happy now!
The other favorite thing to do of Nolan's is hide behind the living room curtains. He will get all lost in them and then peek his head through and wait for me to say, "BOO!" It is the cutest thing. Then he just giggles and giggles with excitement. He does this at least twice daily. The simple things that keep them happy.
I'm really enjoying this stage in Nolan's life! He is so happy!

We just had our Stake conference on Sunday and Nolan was so squirmy so we took him out in the hall to crawl around. Jake told me that he just kept crawling towards the door. He wants to go outside so bad!! It has been a very long winter and he knows it! He does the same thing at our place. He will crawl to the door and start pounding on it like his is in a prison or something. I can't wait to get to Utah! Hopefully the weather will be amazing for us and Nolan can get outside and enjoy the fresh air!
