It's hard to believe that it's been a week since we made a post! Everyone is doing really well in our household. It seems that the germs have escaped our house without getting Nolan...YIPPEE! He does have this little eye infection that doesn't seem to want to go away but it really doesn't seem to bother him. We went into the doctor again last week and he weighs 8 pounds 11 ounces. In my eyes he is getting really big but in reality he's still a little munchkin! He is definitely still acting like a newborn rather than an 8 week old. He is still sleeping a lot and is starting to have some awake periods. He's starting to have some fussy periods in the evening but during the day he is content as can be. My mom said that he cooed at her two times last week but I didn't see it. Karen was her proof that it happened but maybe mom paid Karen to agree. :)

We went on our first official outing yesterday. We've ventured to Grandma and Grandpa's and Aunt Jessie's, but that is about it until yesterday. Nolan, Tessa, and I packed up the car and headed to Hartland to the Lodi football game. We thought it would be an okay place to take him since we were outside the entire time and the temps were in the 50s. It was nice to finally go somewhere with him. Once the temps drop we will be once again spending a majority of the time at home. We are still a bit hesitant to take him around large groups if we are inside. Too many germs around to risk it right now. I'll be heading back to work in a few weeks and he'll be spending his days either with my mom or my sister. We are soooo lucky for that! It will be an adjustment to get back into the routine of things but it's reality. Back to the real world where my brain hasn't been for 6 months!

Hope everyone is enjoying the fall and that you've been able to get out and enjoy the weather like we have.
