The Rolfsrud Wilson gang went to Boston!
 |
| Everyone loves a snuggle from Lynn before a scary flight! |
 |
| Of course we visited Harvard. Nova tried on a nifty Harvard hat, but it was a bit big. |
 |
| The weather was beautiful! We took a lot of long walks. Being carried around by daddy is exhausting! Nova needed a little drink of water - her first attempt at a drinking fountain! |
 |
We went to Boston for Julia's baby shower. Happy Shower Julia! Sorry Nova is struggling to get away from you! Ha... |
 |
| Karyn shared her toys with Nova who was very appreciative. |
 |
| Nova took the T in style. |
 |
| Back at the airport, Nova is snuggling with a new friend, Butterfly. |
Speaking of new friends, Nova is very fond of stuffed animals now. She is constantly carrying, snuggling or talking to a cat, butterfly or monkey now.
 |
| Cat wants to play with you, Mommy!" |
 |
| For her sweet sixteen (month) birthday, we took her to the Build-A-Bear workshop where she "chose" this monkey. Being very creative parents, we named him George. |
Nova is also very into climbing and swimming with other human friends!
 |
| "Yum, water from this bucket is refreshing." |
 |
| A pool party with Daniel! |
 |
| A slide party with Jack! |
We've had all sorts of other adventures!
 |
| Getting lost in a forest! |
 |
| Driving around town. |
 |
| Climbing on flowers at the Bethesda Mall. |
 |
| Costco time! |
 |
| Adventures in fashion! |
 |
| Phew! So exhausting! |
I forgot to post Nova's 15 month stats last month, so here they are!
She's 29.5 inches
She's 20 lbs and 3 oz
Her head circumference is 17.75.
All of the above is in the 50-60%. Good growing, gorgeous girl!
On other fronts, here are my Nova updates:
She took a step off the stairs with no support- she didn't use her hands, knees or me for support. Big girl.
In early June, I asked Nova what sound a cat makes, and she said, "May." Now when I ask her the same question, she totally ignores me, just like a cat would.
I asked if she wanted a banana. She paused thoughtfully and then said, "yes" very distinctly. Then took a bite of the banana.
She called a stuffed monkey a me-me.
Nova is down to a single nap a day. It usually lasts 2-3 hours, giving Lynn and I time for the following activities. Guess who does what:
Train for a triathlon
Write blog posts
Referee a paper on electromagnetic wavelengths
Very fun! Thanks for the illustrative update. Grandpa Steve and Grandma Nancy
