Nolan's 8 Week Doctor Appointment

Sleeping after a long, hard day. Those shots really wore him out!
Check out my band aids!

Nolan had his 2 month doctor appointment today. Can you believe it... he is already 2 months old! My baby is getting so big. Speaking of big...Nolan is now 11 pounds 8 ounces and is 22.25 inches long!! (The nurse asked me to guess his weight and I guessed it exactly.) He has gained exactly 4 pounds since birth and has grown three inches. I can't believe how fast he is growing. The doctor said that she was really impressed with how strong Nolan is. She said that he should be rolling over very shortly. She also said that she sees tendencies to want to crawl. YIKES! He is too small for that! Due to Nolan's excessive constipation issues, the doctor said that we can start him on prune juice now. I can't wait to see if he likes it. I also can't wait to see how big of a mess prune juice is going to make! Good thing Daddy is Mr. Clean! And, as you can see from the pictures above, Nolan had four shots today. He was such a good boy. He did scream a little, but Grandma Theresa was right there to help Mommy comfort him while Daddy was off at work. We are so proud at how beautiful and healthy Nolan is. He is everything we could have ever dreamed of! Check back soon for more pics!

Nolan's First Trip

Nolan took his first trip to Champaign and Bloomington this weekend. We were nervous as to how it would be to travel 3 hours with a 6 week old, but he did awesome! He slept most of the way and only fussed a little bit. Nolan had a great time visiting with Grandpa Jeff, Grandma Linda, Unlce Brad, Aunt Katie, Cousin Josiah, Aunt Anne, Grandma Marsha, Uncle Aaron, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Renee! We are so glad that we were able to spend time with you all and look forward to seeing you again. I have attached a few photos from this weekend... Enjoy!

He's Already 6 Weeks Old!

Can you believe it... Nolan is six weeks today! Time is flying by so quickly and he is getting so big! He just recently started talking to us; It just makes our hearts melt! His frequent smiles are equally touching! He has also been very observant lately, looking around at lights and anything that moves. We all find ourselves just watching him as he watches us as we talk to him. He seems so interetsed in what we have to say! We often sit and think about how amazing it is that we created such a beautiful and perfect baby. We couldn't ask for anything more! Here are two recent pictures of Nolan... Enjoy!
