Nolan, you must walk before you run...

"Let me go daddy"...

Last night, Nolan pushed Keith's hands to the side, and without a breath... he took 6..no 8...no 10 steady steps towards mommy. Wow, he surprised both Keith and I. When he gets excited his body travels much faster than his legs... Practice, practice Nolan, you must walk before you can run.

Nolan's cold has improved over night. He still has a cough and a bit of a snotty nose, but he is on the mend again.

Last Thursday we had Nolan's Pediatrician appointment. He had gained his (2.5 pounds) back from the stomach flu, and then an additional 8 ounces- Impressive. That puts Nolan at just under 19 pounds. We can finally turn him in a front facing car seat when he hits 19 pounds. Nolan is getting taller by the month. He is now 29.5 inches long and his head is steadily growing (full of brains- of course!). I think that's where he carries all his weight.

Nolan and I just got back from a trip to BC to see the udder grandparents. We had a wonderful trip. It was so nice to be back at 'home'. The weather couldn't have been better, and the skiing was fabulous as always. On Friday, we took turns looking after Nolan, and on Saturday he spent the day playing in the daycare so we could all ski together. Sunday was fun; Mom, Nolan and I went swimming and later we all enjoyed 'Grammys' surprise BD party. Uncle Steve and Auntie Claire were also there to partake in the festivities.

And then Nolan and I flew back to Edmonton on Monday afternoon... It was a quick trip, but we had an absoulutely fantastic time.

Oh I almost forgot... Nolan had his first haircut... 1" gone. We didn't get a picture of it, but it went really well. The only shocking thing was the Price! They charged us 13 dollars!!! it was more than 1$ per minute!

Our next adventure will be Mexico in April... And the countdown is already on!
