Auntie Donna and Olan

I just returned from a week in Atlanta with Kjersti, Alex and their son, Olan Bertrand Duval-Arnould (and Grandma Karen, too!) Olan is so very precious. He's incredibly alert and focused for his age. He had his first doctor's appointment since returning home, and had gained almost a pound since leaving the hospital, so he's got that eating thing down! He's sleeping well (most of the time) and both Kjersti and Alex have adapted to having him home. Mom and I tried to help however we could; but it was hard to tear ourselves away from the baby. I'm already counting down to the next visit, whenever that might be. I know he will be a totally different little person, even if I can see him within the next few months. That part is hard. All of us are so far away, on both sides of the family. But, in a stunning development, Alex has created a blog for Olan. So, now all of us will have a place to watch his progress, and send comments to proud Mommy and Daddy. You'll find his blog at www.olanduval.blogspot.com
