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!

No wonder he blows out of diapers!!

Tired boy!  Right before bedtime

Oliver and Duncan

Duncan was born 3 weeks after Oliver.  I think Oli weighs like 5 pounds more than him!!  His mom Christie and I have been walking/jogging together a couple times a week, which is really good because it motivates both us to get out and exercise and of course great company!!

Three and a half months old!!

I had to get a profile shot to show his hair that is growing straight up!!

From the front...its so fine and light, when its wet it looks like he has way more hair!

I learned how to crochet at work the other night.  I made one with some cheaper yarn, then went to Hobby Lobby on Monday and bought some cute yarn and made the hat Oliver is wearing.  Its just me second beanie, but I think I should have used a smaller needle to it would be a little warmer for the winter.  I'm pretty excited about it though, because I LOVE babies in hats or headbands!!

My first fish

Wes and I's first date without Oliver was going out on the boat at banks to fish, while Oli stayed back with Grandma.  We were only gone for about 2 hours, but I don't think Wes has ever loved me more than when I caught this small mouth bass (except MAYBE when I gave birth to Oli!)  So I DO NOT like to touch fish, they freak me out, this was the second attempt to hold the fish up for a picture.  The first time I may have dropped the fish screaming, leaving Wes to catch the flopping fish in the boat!!  Wes caught five or six fish most bigger than mine, but needless to say Wes was very proud of me and we had a great time fishing together for our first date!
