Yesterday we had Nolan's second 1st Birthday party! It was a wonderful day in the foothills, at Mark's family cabin- Bozo Farms. While I was off track I was able to plan all the details- from the home made cakes, to the goodie bags, and monkey masks. And thank you Auntie Kerri for the most excellent invites. Almost all of our family and friends here in Colorado were able to make it. The cabin was full, the food was good, and Nolan was once again spoiled with love and gifts. We are so thankful for all of the people who help to support, care for, play with, and smooch on Nolan! He is one lucky little guy! Enjoy the video, the 50's (?) decor, and a little more frosting mess.
P.S. We know that so many of you have been praying and thinking about Nolan and his appointment on Thursday. All went as we had expected...Nolan is above and beyond where he needs to be in his cognitive, fine motor, and verbal skills, but is delayed in his gross motor. We found out that he has low tone in his core and trunk muscles. So we are going to be doing some targeted exercises with him to strengthen the muscles and work on his transitions. (from laying to sitting, sitting to crawling, etc.) We will also start 4 monthly, in home, physical therapy sessions to work on these skills as well. We are feeling so at peace, now that we know what we can do to help our big dude start to cruise. We set some goals and can't wait to see Nolan make progress. Where he is now is no indication of what he will be doing at 2, 5, 10, etc. We are confident that he is one bright boy and with a little help will be able to figure out this whole moving thing in no time! Thank you to all who have been sending up some prayers.
