Brainwashing

Does he have teeth?

Nope...

The best christmas present ever...

Happy Birthday to me!!

Here is the awesome birthday blocks my sister Emy made for me for Christmas! They are so cute!! I had a great day today just hung out at home with Oliver then Wes and I were going to go to dinner, so I thought, but instead he had a bunch of our friends at Christie and Ryan's for a party!! (I was under the impression that Christie was going to watch oli while we were at dinner). So that was a wonderful surprise! Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes!! And especially my sweet huby for the party!!

Oliver loves his doggy!!  Don't worry I sanitized his toy after this!

Thanksgiving

Waiting for 2 hours and 45 minutes to cross the pass!

Oliver and Sydney (3 months old)

All the grandkids from oldest to youngest

Amelia was fearless with the animals at Lattins farms

I love the Holidays!!!  I love the food, the music and most of all I LOVE getting together with the WHOLE family!!!  All my siblings and families went to my parents house for Thanksgiving and it was such a blast!!  My grandparents and aunt London came too!!  We stayed up late, ate tons of great food, went black Friday shopping, had our sibling gift exchange and our anual Yankee Swap!  Wes even got to go fishing twice and caught a bunch of fish!!  All the older cousins loved playing with and holding Oliver.  My parents house was filled to the brim, and life was pretty crazy there!  This is the last Holiday we will all be together for 2 years, because Carson will leave on his mission this summer.  Other than the fact it took Wes and I 10 hours to get to Olympia (it should have been 6 hours) Thanksgiving was perfect!!!  I love spending time with my family more than anything in the world!!

6 month stats

Weight 21 lbs 9 oz - 96th percentile
Height 29.5 inches - 100th percentile
Head 17.25 inches - 51st percentile

So I have to look into my car seat because I'm pretty sure the height limit is 30 inches!

6 Months

Oliver was six months old yesterday so I decided I better get some pictures!!

This is from a couple weeks ago, it's Oliver's second time rolling over...  I wasn't fast enough to catch the first time on my phone. (You may want to turn the volume down because I got kind of excited obviously)

Power tools

This is Wes's idea of using power tools! That's fishing line and a reel if you can't tell :)

Crafting

Here are a couple crafting projects I've been doing lately. Oliver throws up ALL the time so I made some burp clothes for him with some assistance from mom. And I made a couple blankets. I really should have spent more time sewing with her growing up than on the soccer field. Soccer really isn't doing much for me now considering I haven't played in over a year!!
I also did some glass etching, pie in a jar and a wet bag, with a few of my friends from work.

Halloween

Here are some pictures from Halloween.  I bought the costume at Other Mothers, a second hand store, thinking it was a pumpkin, but Wes said it was a carrot.  So he was one or the other and Wes and I "dressed up" as farmers.  Obviously we put on jeans and a plaid shirt and called ourselves farmers!  Oh and Oliver rolled over on Tuesday November 1st just from back to front, he wont do it the other way yet.  I've fed him squash twice, but so far he's not a big fan he just spits it out, so we will keep trying!

Rice Cereal

Here are a few pictures of Oliver "eating" rice cereal.  Today after probably 5 days of offering it to him he actually ate a very small bowl of it.  I'm not sure if he's just trying to figure out how to ear or if he doesn't like rice cereal.  We are going to try some squash this week.

Here's my chunky little man!!  I think he would suck on his toes if his belly wasn't in the way!!  Oliver almost 5 1/2 months now!!  He laughs all the time and is such a happy baby!  He can't roll over yet, he's getting awefully close though!  We are working on it, but he's got a lot to roll over.  He loves to gurgle and squeel.  Oliver is our greatest blessing and we don't know how we ever lived without him!!

5 months

Oliver is 5 months old today I can't believe it!! I have some videos of him I just have to figure out how to post them!

Stats at 4 months

Oliver's 4 month stats...
18 lbs 7.5 oz
27.5 inches long
Both of which are above the 95th percentile!!  Dr Kincaid gave me a high five when he found out it was still all breast milk!!  He said we could start solids whenever we want, so we'll see when we decide to do that!!

Oliver at 4 months

Oliver is 4 months old now, as you can see Wes is starting the brainwashing early!  We bought this carrier and the first thing Wes did was see if he could cast while he was wearing it!  Thought we would get a few pictures before church, the green outfit is compliments of Linda!  Oliver will be going on his first plane ride next week...we will see how that goes!!

Wes is so proud that Oliver is holding the rod all by himself!!

We tried to comb his hair down right after his bath, but it didn't stay that way for long!
