Growing Pains

This week flew by quickly and Nolan seemed to feel it was time to hit several milestones all at once. To begin with he is starting to laugh and giggle when he is tickled. I love baby laughs. They are so funny. Also, we started Nolan on rice cereal this week. It is still a few more weeks til he is four months and our pediatrician was actually saying they might recommend waiting until six months, but I'm a believer in the sooner the better. Besides, Nolan is so big already and growing so much that it just seemed like it was time. He seems to like the cereal fairly well, which is great for me. Nolan also finally figured out how to roll over this week. The first time he did it he didn't realize Ryan and I were watching so when we cheered and got excited, Nolan got scared and jumped. We were really excited though and Nolan loves to show off now. Nolan is also starting to stay awake about three hours at a time now. It still makes him a little more cranky but this is all his own choice. I'm hoping this will eventually also lead to longer naps.
Ryan took apart the engine on the Bonneville this week. He is repairing all the gaskets and who knows what else. I'm just excited that I will have a car with some air conditioning.
I had my gall bladder removed on Firday. It was an out patient surgery do not too major but I am sore. They gave me a narcotic for the pain but it didn't do anything other than make me sleepy so I am taking Tylenol. That is actually helping with the pain.
Ryan is enjoying spending more and more time with Nolan recently. I think it has helped that Nolan is defintely developing more of a personality. They look a lot alike too. It is so fun to watch Ryan interact with Nolan. He is such a good father.
