The Williams: Keeping up with Baby Nolan: July 2016

Hey everyone,

Nolan is 6 weeks out from surgery now. Honestly, he acts like it never happened. He is quick to show of his boo boo. Other than that, he is not in any pain and has resumed his normal activities. He can run without getting short of breath for the first time in his life! His new favorite game is chase. He gets faster everyday. We are so thankful for his progress. We give all thanks to God, our prayer warriors, and our awesome medical team at Batson. We went to see Dr. Shores a few weeks ago and she said he is just a rock star! He used up his sickly days early on in his life! We will go back to see her on the 8th to make sure everything is still great!

Nolan turned 3 one week ago. He is growing up fast! We had a wonderful birthday party. He wanted a "Mississippi Steak" tailgate party. So we had a catfish fry and did just that! Most of his favorite people were able to attend.

His party invitation. That is his Dak Prescott face. Ha ha I'm sure Dak would be proud of that! He loves to sport his #15 jersey and pretend he is Dak!

Mista Brent and Hannah got Dan Mullen to sign a football for Nolan. So cool!

He said he got scared when everyone sang to him 😂

I wanted to share some of Nolans favorite things at 3 years old:

He loves Hudson, Jack, and Reed Holman. They are the coolest to him. He likes to pretend to be them sometimes or pretend he is hanging out with them.

He loves to also pretend that he is Luke Bryan and sing to us on the Fireplace. Uncle E got him an awesome guitar. It improves his performance a lot.

He loves to go to Kroger and see "Mrs. Angelo" and get a balloon. He also loves to smell the bread aisle.

Last week he got his arm stuck in the grocery cart steering wheel and we got soaked running around Kroger parking lot. He never cried or whined just said "I am stuck!"

He loves to ride the ranger. He likes to go to Pops and Uncle Ben's farm to check on the airators and feed bens. Then he likes to head out to the bridge to throw rocks. We do this almost every afternoon.

He loves his family. Spending days with his Nene. His weekend visits with Bebe and papaw. He loves all of his cousins and anytime we get to see them is a treat.

He adores his uncle E!

His newest love is hunting camp.

He says, "mom stop laughing you scare the animals!"

Thank you so much for praying for our sweet boy and loving him like we do!

We are keeping our Batson family in our prayers as Dr. Salazar moves to Boston. We are so sad to see him go. He has been a God send to us. For someone to have your trust at the very first encounter discussing operating on your child's heart, that is special. Dr. Salazar is the total package and his shoes will be hard to fill. We are praying for Dr. Salazar and his family as they leave Jackson and adjust to their new home. I can't imagine the amount of lives he is going to save. We wish him the very best!
