Merry Christmas!

This year was really fun! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with my family. (Tron's parents went to Georgia for Christmas). Anyhow, here are some pictures.

Oliver's 1!!!!!

Oliver turned 1 on the 18th. I know it's crazy right!? It does NOT seem like it's been that long. He's such a funny guy. He has such a cute personality. Oliver has a smile for everyone and will go to just about anyone as long as they are standing up. that is his only requirement. He's still not walking and doesn't seem that interested in it. He may or may not be a little too laid back. We just love him so much and are so thankful that he joined our family. Picture from the party are to come. But our friend Jaz took some pictures of him today. They turned out way cute. I only have one right now, but I'll post more when I get them.
Here are his stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 7 oz
Height: 29 inches
Head: 18 1/4 inches
In one year he's gone from being tall and chubby to short and thin. We'll see how he turns out :)

11 Months!

Oliver turned 11 months on the 18th. Time has gone by so fast. Next month he'll be 1, very weird. The last month has been hard for Oliver. He got sick about 3 weeks ago and it's lasted up until just recently. He hasn't been contagious, but the stomach virus effects stayed way passed their welcome. He's doing better now though. He lost some weight, but seems to be gaining it back. He's still just so happy, even while being sick. A couple saturdays ago we had to take him into the hospital to get a boost of fluids and he was still such a happy guy (besides the IV part) Anyhow, here are his stats:

Weight: 18 lbs 13 oz (poor guy, but he weighs more now. That was about a week ago.)
Height: 28 1/2"
Head: 18 3/4"

And Here are some pictures (he was not so happy during picture time, but I kept taking pictures because he was still so cute)

Happy Halloween!

This year was a fun one, it was Oliver's first Halloween! We were as follows Tron: Mario, Me: Princess Peach, and Oliver: Toad. We dressed up a couple times before which is good, because Tron got sick on the night of trick or treating. I took Oliver out by myself to a few houses. We would have gone to more, but people weren't home. Oliver was SO cute as Toad I could hardly stand it. Anyhow, here are some pictures:

10 Months!

This past Monday (the 18th) Oliver turned 10 months! That means in 2 months he'll be 1! (so much shouting here) It does not seem like I had a baby that long ago. Anyhow, I took Oliver in to get weighed and he lost weight ( half an ounce, but still)! He is moving around like a crazy person. He's always on the move. So, I guess that explains the weight lose. He has taught himself to crawl up the stairs, and can stand by himself (he doesn't like doing it, he'd prefer to hug). We just love him so much. Here are the stats:
Weight: About 20 pounds
Height: 28 1/2 inches
Head: 18 7/8 inches

9 Months!

Oliver turned 9 months on the 18th. 9 just happens to be my favorite number, and it's a great time for Oliver. He's leveled out on the playing field for weight and height. He's crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, and walking while up. He gives high fives and kisses. He'll still go to anyone and has a smile for all who cross his path. He's so close to walking and stand on his own we can taste it. The Doctor informed us today that he can have yogurt and cottage cheese now, which we are crazy excited about and I'm sure he is too. Anyhow, here are the stats and some amazing pictures done by our friend Jaz who we were hanging out with on the 18th and she took some great 9 month pictures of him. Thanks again.

Stats:
Weight: 20 lbs
Height: 28 inches
Head: 17 inches

Thanks again Jaz.

Oliver is 8 months as of today! He's inch worming all over the place. He's almost got the crawling down. He's teething yet again. He's still the sweetest little guy I know :)

Stats:
Head: 18 1/4 inches
Length: 28 inches (about)
Weight: 19lbs 4.0 oz

7 Months!

I can't believe it's been so long! Ollie Cat is a mover and a shaker. He's not quite crawling, but he's got one knee and he's a pro at scooting. Lately, he's been making an O face a lot. Thanks, to our dear Emily. He loves singing along to primary songs and music in general. He's at such a fun stage, even with all the grabbing.

Stats
Weight: As of last week He's 19 lbs 3.5 oz (with clothes on)
Height: 27 1/2 inches (this changes from place to place)

6 Months!

Oliver turned 6 Months on the 18th. I can't believe how fast this is going by. Oliver is sitting up, eating solids, and has 2 teeth! He is such a wiggler and is always exploring what's around him, which means everything goes in the mouth. We just can't get enough of this little guy.

Stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 5.5 Ounces
Length: 27 inches
Head: 17 1/4 inches

Happy Birthday Tron!

Today is Tron's Birthday! He's the best. I love him so much it's ridiculous. He is 28 today. You're the best husband and father anyone could ask for.


Also, Oliver got his first tooth a while ago. So, here's a picture where you can see it.

5 Months!

Yesterday Oliver turned 5 Months old. Time is such a funny thing, it feels like Ollie has been with us for so long, but at the same time I can't believe he's almost half a year old. That's crazy! He got the stomach flu this month with made him lose some weight, but the nurse said he seems to be gaining it back with a vengeance. He's still really happy, only the last week or so he's gotten more grumpy. The reason being he is getting his first two teeth. The doctor said they are about to pop through and you can totally feel that they are right under the gum. He has also started sucking on his toes a lot. It's so cute...for now let's hope that activity doesn't continue with him as a child and adult. Anyway here are his stats and some photos of his 5 Month old photo shoot:

Weight: 17 lbs 6 oz
Height: 26 1/2 inches
Head: 17 5/8 inches

Solid Foods!

Yesterday we went to the doctors office for Oliver's 4 month check up. The doctor told us we could start solid foods. He was not really sure about it...and at times did not like it. Anyhow, here are the pictures he got really messy. We gave him a bath, and we were still cleaning rice cereal out of his neck afterward.

Before: Happy Clean and Naked
