Nolan Turns SEVEN

This big boy turned SEVEN this year!  It is said every year the kids have another birthday but I truly cannot believe it was seven years ago that we welcomed him into our family.  Nolan is such a sweet boy who wears his heart on his sleeve.  He has been doing such a good job accepting all of the changes happening in his life right now and we are very proud of him.  He has been working really hard in school and seems to make friends wherever he goes.

Some of his favorite things are:  baseball, pirates, Pokemon, playing outside with friends, Dude Perfect videos, swimming, all things "boy."  He still has the same eating habits he has had since he was a baby.  Loves turkey, salami, fruit, vegetables, and hot dogs.

He only has a couple more months of 1st grade and then he is looking forward to a fun-filled summer of golf, swimming, baseball, and relaxing before 2nd grade.

Happy birthday 7-year-old!

Nolan has loved pirates ever since we got back from Disney World so I attempted to make him a pirate ship birthday cake.  I was pretty proud of myself and he loved it.

Fast forward to his well care appointment a few weeks later.....

 Nolan gained 4 pounds this year and topped out at 43.4 pounds (10th percentile)

 He grew 2.5 inches and is in the 22nd percentile for height.

Eyes, ears and everything else look good!  He is eating well, sleeping well and growing just as he should!
