Nolan's Back!

After a long silence, li'l Nolan has decided to re-appear to the blogging world! He apologizes for this time of wonder, stating his poor sleep habits and high demands placed on his parents haven't allowed for them to post any news.

Here are the recent details of Nolan's life. Rob and Jeff were able to come up last week and give Christine some lift as I was on campus for the start of another school year. It was great having them around and Nolan has now met all of his immediate-ish family! Through Christine, Nolan was able to eat some great SF food, thanks to Rob's generous take-out service. :)

As well, Nolan had his 1-month check up yesterday and he's officially fat: 11 pounds, 6 ounces, up over 2 pounds from 2 weeks ago! Unfortunately the doctor said he's very gassy and made have some food allergies we need to look into. Apparently babies can be sensitive to a mother's lactose intake, so Christine's going to restrict her diet for a week and see if Nolan's less cranky and distended.

As well, we've watched the "Happiest Baby on the Block" video, and expecting a miracle, we naively attempted Nolan's first bottle feeding AND Happiest Baby techniques before bedtime, resulting in a very long, tiring 'sleep cycle' for me! We'll keep trying and keep updating our experience.

The two pics are from Red's Java House (an old diner on the Bay, with Rob and Jeff) and Nolan's first trip to the office today, plopped on the couch w/ Leo (I didn't get much work done).
