Not so Well Visit

Nolan went to the doctor for his first sick visit a few weeks ago. We were worried for a while because his fever went up to 104 the night before we took him in. 

It turned out he had a virus and we did our best to keep him comfortable while he recovered. It was sad to see our little man feeling yucky, and we were thankful he felt better a couple of days later. 

10 Months Old

Nolan turned 10 months old on March 10th. The weather was beautiful, so we went to the park for a picnic and a nice long walk. It is hard to believe that our little guy will be a year old soon!

Beach Baby

Nolan's Grandpa is staying in Jacksonville for a few weeks, so we went to keep him company. This was Nolan's first trip to the beach and  it was fun to see his reaction to all of the different surroundings. It took a little getting used to, but Nolan seemed to enjoy the sand and the sounds of the ocean by the time we had to leave. He did not like the cold water and swimming was not an option since it was only February. Our trip was short, but we had a wonderful visit with Grandpa!

9 Months Old

Nolan turned 9 months old on February 10th!

He is growing like crazy and it seems like he tries something new every day. Some of his recent developments include - crawling, standing, cruising, picking up his own food, waving, imitating sounds we make, saying mama and dada, and flirting with strangers when we are out and about.

Nolan had a great visit with the doctor and we are thankful to have a perfectly healthy son. He weighs 20 pounds and he is 29 inches tall.

Picture Update!

Here are some of the most recent pictures of Nolan. Enjoy!

On the Move!

Nolan is now officially on the move! And so are we. He worked on crawling for a while, but he moved onto standing and cruising along the furniture a week later. It looks like walking will be in his future soon.

Feeding Frenzy

Nolan began eating solid foods at 6 months. We've made most of his food at home and he's been a good sport about trying anything we give him. So far, his preferences are as follows:

Likes - bananas, apples, pears, pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, carrots, butternut squash, zucchini, oatmeal, cauliflower, yogurt, cottage cheese, sweet potato, mashed potato, onion, tomato, soy crumbles, salmon, corn, pasta, yogurt melts, crunchy baby cheeto-like snacks, cereal puffs, cinnamon, cumin, garlic

Will tolerate, but doesn't love - broccoli, peas, green beans, avocado, rice cereal, chili powder

We recently received clearance from Nolan's pediatrician to feed his the same foods we are eating at meals. He has to process everything with only two teeth, but he's doing great so far.
