Growing, Growing, Growing......

Tuesday, January 25th Nolan had his one month check up at the pediatricians office.  Bill took Nolan to his appointment because I wasn't feeling the best.  Nolan is growing up so quick!! He now weighs 10lbs 3oz and is 22 1/4 inches long.  He had his second shot of the Hepatitis B Vaccine and Bill said he did great!! Only a little whimper when they first stuck him and that was all.  Nolan is now rolling over to either side, smiling, and he even had his first little coo!!  I cannot believe how grown up my baby boy is.

 

Since being on maternity leave I have begun to become a little stir crazy being cooped up inside all day by myself with no adult interaction, so Bill and I decided it would be good for Nolan and I to spend a few days at my parents house.  Bill and I loaded Nolan up and we made our first official trip back home with our baby boy.  I swear we packed half of the house, thank goodness for our truck.  Nolan did great with the drive, he slept the entire way. 

Nolan and I had a fun week at Papa T and Nana's house.  We had a lot of visitors stop by and see Nolan.  Papa T, Nana, and Aunt Kelby sure knew how to spoil us!!  Nolan and I started to miss Bill on the second day, so we had to make a trip to Glen Carbon to see Daddy for a little while. 

After work on Friday, Bill and I went out on a date night while Papa T and Nana watched Nolan.  Bill and I had a great time.  We went out to eat at Ruby Tuesdays and met up with Aunt Kelby and her friend Chelsea to go bowling.  Bill and I are getting old! We both had sore knuckles the next morning from bowling. haha  We all had a great time.  Bill and I loved catching up on old times and talking about Nolan and our future together as a family.

It was great spending time back home in Coffeen with family, but it feels AMAZING to be home in Glen Carbon again.  I love having both of my boys by my side watching TV on a Saturday night!!
