First adventures...

Well, at 6-days old the time had come to quit coddling this kid, and to finally bring him on the road so he could earn all the oohs and aahs he had been hoping for in the womb. So, after his first walk around the block...

... we decided to take him over to see two (of his many, many) great grandparents. They were a warm and generous audience, and Nolan had all the "aw"s and applause he could have dreamed of...

He took turns getting passed between Great Grandma Sharon...



And Great Grandpa Ross...

However, even when Great Grandpa Ross read aloud his favorite email forwards for all to hear, it failed to live up to Nolan's newly sophisticated sense of humor...

This lack of response confused the great orator, who was not used to being so easily yawned at...

And he handed the ungrateful infant back over his mother...

Finally, Nolan got to pose for a picture with the three generations of Irwin women to whom he owes his existence...
