It’s been awhile really.  Awhile since Nolan and I have hiked together like the “old days” when he was a baby.  He’s a little over 30 pounds now.  I’ve been working on getting stronger so that I can continue to carry him on my back, as for awhile there he was really feeling too heavy for me to do that.  Nolan is well and able to walk a good distance on his own anyway now, but at a moment’s notice he could want to be carried, so I still would like to be able to do this.  I’m hoping to sail through the rest of this young child phase without a stroller.We took a short hike at Lake Chabot again this week- Nolan oohed and awwed over the big yellow tractors and digger type machines that were sitting around near the top of the parking lot.  He didn’t want to walk anymore pretty quickly, but I’m happy to say I managed quite well with him my back, so the working out (in the form of Crossfit) has definitely been helping!
