5 months old!

16 lbs and 27 inches of pure happiness!

Oliver update

Here are some pictures from the last several days. Tomorrow he will be 5 months old so expect the full update on measurements and the monthly picture!

Fell asleep after church drinking his milk but wouldnt let go of the bottle..

Laughing so hard he had bags under his eyes

 His first MumMum snack :) It's just like rice cereal but in a cake form.. Like rice cakes for adults without flavor. He loved it!

Oliver riding Oscar! he's already pulling his hair and ears. Next up- tails! Luckily I've messed with Oscar since he was a puppy so the 3 years of bugging him made him not even budge when Oliver does it. But Oscar does like to lick Oliver!

 Getting better at sitting up on his own!

 Laying on his Pillow Pet that his Grandma Vanessa bought him for Christmas!

 The kid likes to splash like there is no tomorrow!

2 bottom teeth are poking through, all 4 canines are still just hanging out on the otherside of his gums and there is possibly a top tooth getting close to coming through too. The guy would NOT let me get a picture though. ALL TONGUE!

Facebook and Blog Changes

So I've decided that updating my blog everyday is a lot to do and sometimes there just isn't much to post. I know some people really liked it and on the other hand it started to annoy some people so from now on I'm changing. The changes will be..

• NO daily pictures on Facebook OR the blog
• NO daily Facebook status updates
• Blog updates will happen when things I deem important happen.
• When the blog updates I will post a link to Facebook
• If you want to know when I post on the blog you have 2 options:
• Email- put your email address in the box titled "Follow our blog by Email" (yes, I know it seems obvious but I had to point it out)
•  OR if you have Google, Twitter or Yahoo you can click the "Follow" button and it will take you through a few steps and it will update you when I update.. This is what I do with people I like to follow. 
• To post comments you will now have the following options:
• Blog- click where it says "0 comments" (or however many comments there are) and then post your comment. I currently have the setting so anyone can comment. 
• Facebook- comment under the link to the blog page update. 

I know this will upset some people because they want me to post pictures daily but I'm tired of doing things for other people. I'm doing this for me and my family now instead. It's just not worth it to me to exhaust myself posting on days when I don't have time. I'm sure I will still update the blog regularly BUT don't expect it daily. Thank you for understanding.

Busy day. Got stuff done. Woo!
Oh and Oliver rocked his Harley gear!

PPD#046

Bigfoot is retiring his cute blue shoes today. His feet are just too big for them.



Where did he get this attitude from?!? ;) (mad that he has to sit in the hard shopping cart without his pillowy cover.. And sleepy!)

PPD#045

Happy Easter!!! :)







Rainy Easter=the wet dog look



Terrible picture but Oliver's hair looked just like his Daddy's!! (I was trying to get his attention and it made him go cross-eyed for a second lol)

PPD#044

Jeff opened his Easter box today since we wont be around the computer tomorrow..




Lot of candy in sporty egg and basket :)







The card :)

Then Papa Ron and Oliver had a boy day and I chauffeured.
-babies'rus
-Toysrus
-2 Harley Davidson stores
-Twin Peaks To see Aunt Sarah for his monthly pic-- bunny dress up for Easter





Oliver with his do-rag and new toy/book



Olivers goodies from today before the toy was built.



Jumping on Papa Ron's belly



The car toy put together. Noisy!!!! The middle part spins and it makes racecar noises.

Playing with Oscar


Oliver sitting up- still wobbly


Jake holding Oliver at work :)


My bumper sticker magnet came in today!! And it made it through the storm!

PPD#042

Brooke and I made shrinky-dinks at work while Oliver napped..



Before..



After



This is Oliver's first solid nap at work. Normally he just sleeps on me, beside me on the couch or on the bed while I'm doing laundry.. Which never lasts for more than 20 minutes.. So far he's been out for almost 1/2 an hour in his work-crib/pack&play.. And he is ZONKED out!! He napped for 2 hours this morning too!!! Yay!!!

PPD#041

Just realized I forgot to post this yesterday. Whoops!!


10 minutes later






Lovin his new shoes!!



Too bad they are almost too small :( maybe I will get the next size up this weekend in Oklahoma.

PPD#040

He got mad sitting in his carseat waiting to get Brooke at school so I sat him in the front passenger seat with me. Of course there was some serious sun out so he got to wear his sunglasses!!






Poor guy passed out playing. He's been out for about an hour now and hasn't moved. I'm thinking he will any minute so I'm just leaving him there!

PPD#039

So today was busy but it had to be done.

We went to target to get some stuff for Jeff.

Mailed a gift, Jeffs package, a letter, a product registration, and my state tax form. For the record I sent of our taxes in February!!! But I forgot to sign it lol oh well!!



Anyway then work and dinner with a good friend from high school.

Oliver didnt nap all day long. What would you expect? A temper tantrum? Nope! Happy baby!! Lol but after dinner with Mayra we came home he had his cereal and apples, got a bath and went to sleep on his own!!! I'm now following him! Between this last weekend and getting things done around the house I'm exhausted.

PPD#038

So I let Oliver sleep with me last night because the hotel's crib was terrible and the night before he only slept maybe 3 hours total.
















Lesson(s) learned: bring the pack-n-play/portacrib-more hassle and packing but more sleep for everyone! More toys, less socks. Don't forget the bottled water in the garage.

Oh. 4 hour drive home and Oliver slept during the whole time!!! :)

PPD#037

Army meetings. Yay.



Oliver slept through most of them.



Excited about eating apples!!



Panda 'jams mean it's time for bed for my sleepy boy.. He crashed 2 minutes later!

PPD#036

Exhausting day but not too bad I suppose. The drive to OKC was hard. 4 hours with a mad baby, 30 mph wind and 70mph gusts.. Just exhausting.




Oliver playing with Sophie on the couch in our hotel room.



Oliver still playing but a whole couch view so you can see he really is still fairly small- long but small!




giant bed but no hubby to share with :( next time I come fore one of these army meetings I will get to share with the hubby hopefully!!

Ok goodnight.

PPD#035

I cleaned out/organize my car's trunk while Oliver was napping this morning and decided to figure out how to work Oliver's small stroller. As much as I love our jogging stroller it's just too big to get out every time SO I got an umbrella stroller but never learned how to use it. It wouldn't open/unfold! So I figured it out (it had a little lock that was hidden!!) My sister asked for a video of him once he woke up so I sent her one and at the end this happened. Clearly he's not talking yet but I thought it was funny.

PPD#034

Oliver napped with his Eli- the elephant!


Oliver's first time watching kiddo cartoons. He loves The Backyardigans!!



Packing for a baby for a 3 day weekend.. EXHAUSTING!!



Decided on the outfits! :)



His bag contents.. (excessively organized.. It a must!)



I got it all in this little bag except for his formula. Use the formula container for size comparison.
If I could bring myself to let him wear pjs everyday packing would be so much easier.. But he has to look cute!! :)
