A quick update, though - we had Nolan's 12 month "well-check" today. He developed a cough and a slight fever yesterday, so I knew he wasn't "well" but we were surprised to learn that he has an ear infection ("a 7.5 on a scale of 1 - 10" according to the PA). Also, goopy eyes and two or three molars coming in. What the what? He was a little fussy, but not "fever, cough, ear infection, goopy eyes, molar teething" fussy.
Anyway, we celebrated his birthday on Sunday. He's walking. He loves balloons. He still has the best smile in the world. We love him!
