it was John's and my mom's birthdays this past week and we did part of our celebrating at the Johnson retreat. however, i had just gotten more gifts for Nolan than i think for John and my mom combined... i was spending some Nolan gift money from his great grandmother and figured that she'd want him to have toys. so i went to The Big Much in Chattanooga and ogled all the incredible toys and finally picked out a few. Nolan was very happy in the toy store, he definitely got an eyeful himself. he's loving the new toys and figuring them out, but when i first sat him down to play with them all he wanted was my water bottle... figures.
he's showing a bit of stranger anxiety or at least separation anxiety (from me... no one else yet). Sunday may have been his most frustrating day i've seen in a while, he's usually so happy-go-lucky. he was stuck on me, or his eyes glued on me, and many distraction techniques were required for me to slip away. it may have been amplified by being in a different place, and in the morning it was clear he missed his bouncey seat. he usually sits in it in the morning as John drinks his coffee, bounces and swings and goes crazy in it. while we were visiting, he instead simulated the bouncing effect and wanted to jump up and down in our hands... good exercise for all.
