Happy St. Pats !!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the O'Gallagher's : )
 
Nolan started off the weekend with a St. Patty's Day Celebration at Meme's Friday Afternoon. I sent him with these festive treats to pass out to his buddies.
 
 
He makes a pretty handsome leprachaun huh ? I mean you'd have to with the name Nolan Gallagher - right ?!
 
 
 
I think the Luck of the Irish was with us this lucky weekend. Nolan went accident free all day Friday !!! He is getting so good with this potty stuff. Sat. & Sun AM he even told us he had to go "poop". If he keeps up such good work, we might, knock on wood, be in big boy undies be early April. Just in time for someone's special day !!!!
 
Sunday we had visitors and an  authentic St. Patty's Day Meal - Slow Cooked Corned Beef Reubens and Potatoes for lunch. It was Grandpa Gallagher's Birthday! Nolan loved him some chocolate cake AND got to skip afternoon nap.
 
 
A special Irish Blessing for you Nolan
on your 2nd St. Patrick's Day:
 
May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do--
and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always !!!
 
We love you!

Pete & Repeat

Last night I had uncontrollable hiccups...... guess who else did ?! Little Baby Pete !!! He is so funny. He has turned into quite a sponge which means Mommy & Daddy really need to mind their P's & Q's. We won't mention the "H- E -Double Hockey Sticks" phrase he repeated last week......

Anyhow - We got to have a mid week rendezvous this week. Unfortunately I wish it were under better circumstances (Double Ear Infection), but loved the extra cuddle time.

I think it's safe to say everyone in the Gallagher Household is OVER winter and the sick germs. Hopefully Spring is right around the corner (21 days to be exact!!!). I think we're all ready for some fresh air, sunshine & bike rides. Not to mention a SPECIAL Birthday. You can ask Nolan how old he is going to be and in the sweetest voice he responds "Twoooooooo".  I can not even believe it when I hear it come out of his mouth. Two Years Old. That is 730 days he's been in our lives. I am getting emotional as I write this, but I guess it' s true what they say, "Time Flies When you are Having Fun!"

And Nolan is such a fun age right now. He loves Choo Choo's, Blocks & Mickey. His favorite movies: Nemo & Cars. Eats everything and anything. Really loves fresh veggies & fruits, pancakes & avacados. Loves Bubble (Bath Time) and having visitors. Most recently Grammie, Papa, Tootsie & Georgia. And the weekend before that Auntie, Nana and Poppa. He also loves his doggies Rah Rah & Jakey... he asks about them EVERY SINGLE night on the way home from Meme's. I am looking forward to Spring & Summer with this sweet little sponge : )
