Big Week

Nolan had quite a big week. It started out last Sunday when we decided to give him rice cereal for the first time. He seems so interested in our food, so we thought at 4 months he could try cereal and he did great. He was a little confused at first, but is starting to get the hang of it. On Sunday he also rolled from his belly to his back. This is big for him considering he absolutely hates to be on his belly and is never on his belly. He also fell asleep on his own in the crib that night, but of course that didn't last the rest of the week! On Monday the 21st he turned 4 months old, and is really starting to get fun. He loves to play with his toys and teething rings. Another thing we noticed this week is that he is kind of starting to take strange and is taking longer to warm up with others. He definitely has eyes for mommy and daddy. Then of course there was his first Christmas. He survived the craziness at the Purpur house on Christmas Eve and we enjoyed a nice quiet Christmas Day with Danny's family. Unfortunately he also spent his first Christmas with a fever and cold. My poor peanut had a rough few nights with sleep and breathing, but is feeling lots better. I think all the (many, many) gifts he got cheered him up! One last thing to report is that I caught him on Saturday sitting up on his own!! We sit him up in his boppy pillow a lot and I looked over at him to see that he pulled himself up to the sitting position to grab and toy and sat there and played with it. We were so proud! He is growing too fast.
