Hip Hip Hooray!


Yay Nollie!!! Yesterday Nolan finally figured out how to crawl! And today there is no stopping him! While I was working on report cards this afternoon, he was in the kitchen opening up the cabinets- throwing the Tupperware all over the place, the next thing I knew he was playing with the door stop in the front entry, 2 minutes later I look up and he's pulling dead leaves out from the bottom of the plant, I look down to enter grades, I look up again, now he's pushing the button on the surround sound speaker on and off. Wow! How our lives have changed in just 1 day! 

We are so thankful to God that he pointed us in the direction of our physical therapist! Baby Boot Camp has worked wonders in just 1 month! We can't wait to see what is in his future- speedster crawling, eventually walking, will our big bruiser boy thin out? I just hope he doesn't lose the cheeks! 

 The crawling is still slow going, but I'm sure in just a few days he'll be cruising along. In physical therapy we are now working on pulling up to a stand. He can pull up to his knees, but doesn't quite have the strength to go all the way up. We are also practicing climbing the stairs to strengthen his hips and work on his balance. We'll keep you updated on all of his new found adventures! But in the mean time check out the video of his new milestone! 

God is able to do immeasurably more than all 
we could ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:10
