Hicks Household: 4 months and GROWING!

Sorry it has been a while since the last post, but life has been busy!! Nolan is now 4 and a half months old and is getting big. He had his 4 month check up a couple weeks ago and he was 26 and 1/2 inches long (90%), and 17 lb 0.2 oz (85%). So, needless to say, he is a pretty healthy boy! Along with growing, he is becoming much more social. It is fun to hear him babble and gab and we will sometimes wake up in the morning to him just having a conversation with himself in his crib! :) He is pretty much over his colic so that makes for much happier parents as well.

Over the past couple months we have done a lot. Nolan was able to visit some of his extended family when we made a trip down through Illinois to Indianapolis. It was great to see everyone and we are looking forward to our next trip down there! Nolan was also able to meet all of his great grandparents over the past couple of months, so that is a blessing. Mommy has returned to the working world, so that has been quite a change. He goes to a learning center/daycare 4 days a week and seems to be adjusting well (much better than mommy is adjusting ;-) ). Along with daycare, comes the illnesses. He had an ear infection in both ears, and is currently on antibiotics to get him back to normal. He seems to be feeling fine, so this is good! As summer is coming to a close, Nolan got to enjoy a few days at Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's new pool. He is excited to start swimming lessons there next summer! Lastly, we will be going to Iowa to see Grandma and Grandpa Payne this next weekend and Nolan will be going to his first college football game (Iowa vs. Minnesota)! Should be a fun first game :)

Here are some pictures of our little man over the past couple of months:
