Tasting the Air!

Over the 525+ pics (no exaggeration)  I snapped of Nolan this past weekend, his tongue was hanging out of half of them !!! He must have really been concentrating hard, or maybe just tasting the air : ) 

We couldn't help but laugh every time we looked at him! He reminded me of Winky, a horse my Grandpa owned with NO TEETH. His tongue was ALWAYS hanging out! For a laugh, here is a side by side comparison:

I am guessing all of this tongue exercise must have been quite exhausting, because Nolan fell asleep, vertical in his crib.

Or maybe the exhaustion was from learning new tricks. Our lil man now knows how to "High Five!" He get so excited, the 5 sometimes turns into 15 !!! I need to get a video, but here are a few snapshots in the meantime:

Check out how excited Dad is in first pic - LOVE IT !!!
