Cahaba River & Old bridge

We've always wanted to walk along this trail on the Cahaba River about a block from our church, so we stopped yesterday morning and walked down the river. We also went exploring later that day to find an old covered bridge close to where we live. When we finally got there, we found it to be temporarily closed for a new development/resort that's being built. We walked around the property since we couldn't drive through the caution gate and found this little old bridge that crossed over a pond. It was so hot and around 2pm in the afternoon...so we never walked far enough to see the covered family bridge...but we'll definitely make it back when the weather is cooler for Nolan.

Nolan's new car!!

For Nolan's 1st B-day, which is only 3 weeks away, his Nommie decided to give him his gift early since she was visiting us this past weekend. This little red RadioFlyer car is the coolest car ever and Nolan loves it so much! He cries every time you take him out! We even have to clean the wheels off so we can bring it inside the house!! It has blinkers, plays music, and even has a horn. Needless to say this is now his favorite toy and we love how excited he gets when he sees it after waking up from naps!

My friend Jessica also had her baby shower yesterday. She's so cute and we all can't wait to meet Evelyn Ruth! Here's a few pics from the weekend:

11 months old

Nolan was 11 months old yesterday. He's gotten very active lately and is getting into everything! He's not walking yet, but is pulling up on all the furniture and cruising around it. Eric seems to think he may be a few weeks away from taking his first steps :) He's also learned how to stand up in his crib...so it's been interesting these last few weeks!!
