Valentines Day

So for Valentines Day Jeff and I got each other iPhone4s. boring, I know BUT the actual iPhone is exciting. My poor little iPhone3 just doesn't cut it anymore. There isn't anything wrong with it.. in fact it's actually in really good condition. Anyway, so since Jeff won't get his phone in Egypt until after Valentines day I decided to put together a little gift for him anyway. It included...


inside the care package for valentines day

candy.. in baggies in case of melting

small bedazzle to label it as the v-day box.


Jeff sent me some pretty flowers on top of the iPhone. Turns out the ones he sent me are not as nice as the ones he ordered and he also ordered a teddy bear and chocolates that were not delivered. SOOOO tomorrow I'm going to give them a piece of my mind.

2 months old!

So this is a little late but Oliver is now 2 months old! Time is seriously flying by. Everyone told me it would and I expected it but geez! Next thing I know he's going to be taller than me!

Oliver...
Is 11.5 pounds and 25 inches. (weight: 43rd%  height: 99th%) aka long and skinny!
Eats 4-5 ounces every 2.5-3 hours during the day. (about 30-35 ounces/day!!!)
Sleeps from 9 or 10pm until 8am every night (wakes up 1 or 2 times)
Wears size 0-3 month in clothes but is too tall/long for most of them so some is 3-6 month
Wears size 1 diapers (finally! skinny boy is finally chunking up a little)
Wears size 1-2 shoes
Has my exact toes.. poor kid.
Has Daddy's good looks and style
Can hold his head up for long periods of time- I'm slowly putting him in his Bumbo seat so he can sit up a little bit on his own.
The sun was too bright so neither would look at the camera. This was from the blizzard we had this week. 24" of snow!!!

Loves watching tv with Mom and Grammy at night. When it's on he stares at it. I'm going to look into getting him some Little Einstein DVDs for a little later on.
Is being spoiled by Grammy Tammie. She thinks he is going to be an OSU fan.
...but Dad won't have it since he will definitely be a Longhorn fan (and Dallas Cowboy)
Loves getting baths and Avenno Lavender lotion- yum!
Is a major cuddle bug.

Still falls asleep almost instantly in the car but stays awake occasionally if he's already had a nap. If I sing he coo's and smiles.
Stares at himself in the mirror in the car (and in the house too) and talks to himself while we're driving.
He loves his new bird toy too.
Doesn't need his paci all of the time- mostly just when he's tired (like exhausted but fighting it) or if he's getting hungry.
Enjoying a nice day in the middle of January- windows down, sunglasses on.. crazy!
Smiles when you tickle under his chin or play with his cheeks.
Loves his Lamb Swing and Lamb Seat.  Both are very much so recommended!!! The swing goes front to back and side to side. He likes side to side and hates front to back (like most swings do) He watches the lambs on the mobile and talks to the baby in the mirror on the mobile.

Doesn't seem to be super ticklish on his feet or tummy (yet)
Started sleeping on his tummy and loves it- I knew he would but waited until he could move his head from side to side easily.
Loves his Gloworm Seahorse that Daddy got him for Christmas.
Does really well going to work with me every day. Lately he sleeps most of the time I'm at work and wakes up just in time to eat, get changed, get in the car seat and take one of the kids to practice and then come home. Hopefully this nap schedule stays at this time!!!

Helping me put up laundry at work. (I can't carry him and the basket upstairs so I compromised)
Laying with Brooke's "Lammy" at work while I put up laundry.
