Nolan two week check up

Today was Nolan's two week check up and we were told what a healthy baby we have :) Nolan did great and is growing like a weed! Here are his stats:

Weight - 8 lbs 6.5 oz
Height - 21.2 in
Head circ - 14 in

Needless to say, all this feeding is paying off ;)

Nolan's Newborn Pics

Pumpkin Patch!

We got to take the boys to the pumpkin patch yesterday and it was SO fun to watch Wyatt :) He was excited about everything - especially the tractor ride, the pumpkin patch and picking out his own pumpkin. We didn't get to leave before he had one MAJOR meltdown, but that is par for the course these days :)

Nolan just chilled in the Bjorn with mom and slept...which was nice since he was up most of the day wanting to eat! Made for a long day for mommy :) BUT, he did have his first tummy time and did great - he lifted his head up a few times and then just laid there...he was done.

My parents and sister were able to join us and get in on the fun - all in all I would say it was a success! Check out some of the great pics we got:

Happy Halloween!

Nolan's first two weeks

Our little man is two weeks old - time is flying! We have had a busy couple weeks and I don't see it slowing down. We had a packed weekend with Auntie Marissa's 25th birthday, Grandpa Bales wake and a visit with Auntie Molly and cousins Caden and Natalie. We even got a pic with all the cousins in their numbered shirts :)

Nolan is SUCH a great baby so far - we are so impressed with him and feel very lucky! He is giving is 4 and 5 hour stretches at night and is a great eater. He only cries when he wants food and so far has not even flinched when his brother gets a little rowdy around him :) He had his first bath since his belly button "scab" came off - not a huge fan :)

Tonight we have a work dinner for Nick's company so we are leaving the boys with Papa Bales and are treating it as a date night. Needless to say, we are super excited to get out and enjoy a kid free dinner :) Thursday we have Nolan's two week check up and can't wait to see how much weight he has gained. He eats enough for a football team, but still seems skinny to me :) Maybe that is just because I am the one who has to feed him!

Love,

Nolan's First Week

Well, the dust has settled a bit so I am taking a few minutes to post up some pics from this past week :) Nolan has had quite a few visitors and is doing great! He is a very chill baby and a great nurser/sleeper. Big brother Wyatt is getting used to the idea of Nolan, but is not thrilled when mommy/daddy have to give Nolan attention. All in all, the first week has been a success and we are loving our family of four :)

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure :)






















Love,

The happy Bales Clan
