Here comes the sun!

Today was the first nice, sunny day in what feels like forever! We took Nolan to the Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview and he seemed to really enjoy it. We went ahead and bought an annual membership and it's good at a bunch of other children's museums including the one on Navy Pier and in Naperville and Cincinnati. So we're excited about that. The membership allows four adults plus Nolan to get in, so we're thinking it could be fun for the grandparents or anybody else that wants to go.

In general, there's not much to update. Nolan is getting more and more confident on his feet, but isn't officially walking yet. He's consistenly taking 3-4 steps then plopping down. I keep saying that he'll be walking anyday now! We'll keep you posted.

We're driving to Cincinnati on Thursday and will stay through the weekend. Have a great week!

First Steps

Nolan took his first steps this past weekend!! A few different times he would take two steps on his own, then plop down and once he even took three steps on his own. So we don't think walking is too far off!

Nolan had his 1 year check-up tonight and the doctor said that Nolan is extremely healthy and doing great. He's in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. And he has four molars that have all recently broken through and are coming in at the same time. So that makes 12 teeth for Nolan. And now that Nolan is a year old, he's done with formula and is now drinking milk.

Dave and I took Nolan sledding out in the front yard this past weekend. He was very neutral about it all and just kept studying everything around him. He didn't crack a smile once, but at the same time he didn't cry either. I'm thinking he'll enjoy it more next winter.

We had 12 inches of snow at our house on Friday and there's more to come tomorrow. I'm ready for spring! Stay warm!
