I don’t know what I’m more emotional about. The fact that my baby is SIX or that my baby just lost his first tooth. It is all too much! How is time slipping by so fast?!

Nolan is and has always been such a bundle of energy and emotions. He is fiercely competitive and loves anything he can win at. His love for sports and games has grown so much this year. He is a constant sweaty mess and goes hard all day long. His rough and tough personality is perfectly balanced by his love for his “puppets” (stuffed animals and blankies) and snuggling. His wild mop of blonde hair can never be tamed, nor can anything else about Nolan. He challenges us and makes us laugh every single day. His love for debauchery and shenanigans make him more like a frat boy than a Kindergartner. When I asked him what he wanted to do on his birthday, he simply replied, “Tailgate.” He is sweet, shy, and rowdy all at the same time. Life is more fun and more interesting with Nolan in the world. We wouldn’t change one thing about him. Love you, Bubba.
