1st Halloween

My little monkey....

All the things he can do....

• Oliver has 3 teeth with a 4th coming in (his bottom two and his top two canine)
• He can pull himself up (not very well yet)
• We think he is trying to say Chloe (which is ironic because my first word was my dogs name)
• He loves books (he is very good at turning the pages)
• He is drinking one of his two bottles at daycare out of a sippy cup
• He is eating solids 3x a day (although he doesn't like cold things much)
• He has eaten the following "real" foods- chicken, apples, pears, bananas, yogurt, cheese, turkey, manicotti, mac n cheese, toast, banana bread and many other things 
• He is off his Prevacid (finally)
• Both he & I are able to eat dairy (yay)

More teeth!

I guess people are right when they say that after the first tooth comes in, the rest following suit quickly.  Oliver got his other bottom tooth on Tuesday and then today one of his canine teeth came in!  That's 3 teeth in 2 weeks.  Poor kid isn't getting much sleep and is drooling like crazy... He is handling it like a champ though!

Pajama Time

Big Sister Soundra

Oliver, Chloe, and I went over to a friends for a BBQ to see the lovely Buehler girls.  Soundra, 11, is amazing with Oliver.  She even does good when he starts crying...she'll rock him and talk to him and hold him close.  It is so stinking cute!

Pumpkin Patch Take 2

We went to Patch's Pumpkin Patch with Jenn, Jake, and Neena.  It was a perfect day and we enjoyed the petting zoo, wagon ride to the pumpkin patch, delicious caramel apples and the best thing of all.... the cannon shooting off pumpkins!

Family Pictures

A lovely fall day for family pictures.  We had them taken at the Rose Garden where we were married a little over a year ago.  Oliver just turned 8 months old!

8 monthday!

I can not believe that Oliver is 8 months old today.  I want to stop time and just enjoy this moment for, well, a while longer.  My little boy is growing up so fast.  He has so much personality and has no problem expressing his emotions.  If you take away his toy, or anything that he is playing with he will definitely express himself....with some screaming and flailing of the arms.  It's cute.  He army crawls everywhere... I mean everywhere.  I turn around for 2 seconds and he's gone... sometimes I actually have to go find him.  He is interested in everything around the house and most interested in things he shouldn't be.  I feel like we should probably wrap him in bubble wrap to protect him.  His bottom left tooth is coming through and it looks like the bottom right is on its way too.  I love him more & more with each passing day.

Momma play date at Gray's Lake

Today it was a near perfect day so a group of mom's and our babies met at Gray's Lake for a walk.  It was so nice to chat with other moms and enjoy the great weather.
