We had a great 10 days in CA. I am already missing the wonderful weather, especially the cool nights! It was so great to see many of my friends and their babies, spend time with my parents and have my brother finally meet his nephew. It's still so weird being a new mom. I was used to the girls with their kids, but it is still very strange for me to be one of them. Nolan was great on the flight there and back. I was worried being alone on the flight home, but it all went very well, and we had an open seat next to us, so Nolan was able to kick around and sleep there for a bit.
I spent most of my time in WC and Alamo. The baby and I got a THIRD round of strep and were out of commission for a few days. His pediatrician has all three of us on the same meds and will recheck all of us to make sure the carrier is gone once we are finished with the antibiotics.
Shawn and my dad went to a Giant's game and the US Open at Pebble Beach, pretty cool! We all had a great time at Ayla's birthday party, and I got to see a few extra friends that were also in town. Kristin was also in town with her girls, but sadly we didn't get any pictures of the kids or us.
My dad calls these his Walla Walla Overalls!
Nolan changed so much in CA. He started sleeping for 7 hour stretches, he found his toes and upped the amount he ate per feeding. He is also smiling, chatting and laughing all the time. He is such a good baby and still only cries when he is hungry and very tired. On a sad note, well at least for me, he is loosing all of his baby hair. I really though he'd be one of those babies that keeps their beautiful locks. I know it will grow back, but it is still weird for me! He is on his way to 14 pounds and seems very long! He is also doing great with his kick arounds and tummy time. He is super strong and can "sit up" on my lap and is holding his head for much longer stretches of time! He is also chewing on every thing. See picture above!
