Updates on Nolan

Howdy to all you faithful folks. Yet again we are sorry it has been so long since we updated this fabulous site. It seems super hard to get to the computer these days and even harder to be on it for any length of time.

Nolan is doing quite well. He is around 11 and 1/2 lbs now, still not on the regular growth curve charts but he has his own curve going, I guess he is not into percentiles! He is chowing down on lots of different fruits (all mashed of course) as well as sweet potatoes, rice cereal, avocado and yogurt; He will eat anything if there is yogurt in it. He has moments of sitting up with little support and we are showing him the basics of crawling though I find myself torn about him picking that up too quickly… He laughs a lot, he has a fabulous belly laugh that I will do anything to hear. And he is finally getting a decent covering of hair so that the doctors and nurses will stop coveting the beautiful veins on his head (they wanted to stick IVs in them).

We all went on our first big trip in June to a family reunion in the TN mountains. Ronan and I were a bit nervous about how well he would travel because of some not so great short trips we had taken but Nolan held up like a champ. He had a great time once we met up with the family, all the attention he could want. It was a great time for all of us and a good lesson for Ronan and I, we have to constantly relearn what Nolan is capable of ( duh, he’s the Super Bean).

Last but not least is the Auction news. The final tally was a whopping 39,000.00! Talk about a great success… We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts and down on our knees. Amazing and Beautiful.

If you are still checking in on the site we would love to read a little post from you, a quick little “still lookin’ in” is all you need to write, we just love knowing you all are out there. Take care all. love, Kara, Ronan and Nolan
