Update

We haven't been doing too many exciting things lately!  The weather has been so warm & muggy or rainy that we've been staying indoors a lot.  When we can get outside the mosquitoes swarm us so fast that we head back indoors.  Hopefully fall comes soon and we can spend a lot of time outside before winter (yes, I said winter).

So Oliver is SO close to crawling that I'm now a little nervous.  He can scout around enough now to get any where he wants to go so he is all over the place.  Once he starts crawling I'm sure we're in trouble.  He'll be into everything!

He is so interested in all the sights, sounds, textures, people, and animals.  I love to watch him taking it all in.  He is a true observer and is always inspecting things like he is analyzing it- it's too cute.

For the last 4 nights Oliver has been sleeping in his crib....I think it may be harder on me then him.  I like having him close to me.  He is sleeping pretty well in this crib- goes to bed around 8p, nurses at 12 and again at 4a and is up around 6am.  We hang out while I get ready for work and then he takes a short nap around 7a.

He is doing a great job with eating.  He loves sweet potatoes and squash along with most vegetables.  So far he is not into fruits much but will do the bananas every so often.  He also likes these rice crackers called mum-mums.  We also have been giving him milk in his sippy cup and he LOVES it.  He gets so excited when he sees his sippy cup and tries so hard to drink the milk (most of it runs down his chin though).  Soon he'll figure it out.

He has taken quite the interest in faces (trying to pull my cheeks off), animals (petting Chloe), and pulling hair (not moms but anyone else's that he can get his hands on).  He still enjoys being outside.  Anytime he is fussy or in a mood we can just take him outside and he seems to forget what ever was bothering him.  We got a swing for Grandma & Grandpa's house and he just laughs & laughs when he is swinging.

I look at him and see how much he changes everyday and it's happening too fast.  I can see my little boy growing up and it almost makes me sad...He is so precious and sweet- We're truly blessed and I'm reminded of that every day.
