Gotcha Day 3 month anniversary

It is so hard to believe that it has been 3 months since Oliver's Gotcha Day already. In so many ways it is hard to imagine life before he came in to it. But honestly the last 3 months have gone by too fast! He is now saying a few words, besides Mama and Dada, he is now saying "up" when he wants picked up or held. Which of course he loves to do! He likes to be held much of the time especially if we are trying to get something done like cooking dinner or folding laundry. Here he is helping Mama do laundry!

Prom

Today was the junior/senior prom at Brynn's high school. Since she is dating a junior she got to go! Oh my baby is growing up! Our wonderful friends and neighbors, Susan and Harmony so kindly took pictures of the two of them! They are just wonderful pictures.......she is so beautiful!

Our weekend

Just a couple pictures of our weekend. We went swimming in the pool and he really enjoys it! He moved from one piece of furniture to the next on Saturday and Sunday when he was swimming was throwing the ball to Sophie, our cocker spaniel!

He was to the doctor on Wednesday for his 12 month check up. He

is up to 21 pounds and is on the charts for his actual age not adjusted, nice to hear! Last night he only woke up twice and both times laid back down and fell asleep within a couple of minutes! We are making progress but I am back sleeping in his room at night. I really want him to get a good night's sleep too.

Oliver's First Birthday!

Oliver turned one year old yesterday! He had a great birthday party with some of our friends coming for the afternoon. He seemed to enjoy all of it! He had a bunch of kids in the pool with him. What a day!!

The pictures from Penneys

Here are a couple of the great shots they took at JC Penneys! He is just such a ham that none of them were bad!

Ok, now leave me alone

This post is for my friends who are harrassing me for new pictures of Oliver. Things are going really great and he is just a bundle of smiles and happiness all of the time. I cannot tell you how much we are enjoying having him in our lives! Last week we went to Orlando to visit my parents before they left today for Omaha for six months. We also got to see Don's parents and big sister, Stephanie! He found the pool at my mom's so forgive how dirty he is! He and Steph sat at the edge of the pool and splashed forever and then he crawled around outside. Steph says he is "addictive"!

My other baby, Theo in Oliver's big boy chair! And Oliver in his chair, which Theo has taken over!

Rubber Ducky

I just had to post this picture of Oliver in his rubber ducky tub! He just loves taking a bath. Yesterday we went for pictures at JCPenney and I took his tub along and they got some cute pictures of him in it. He was so good and such a ham for the pictures. Of course I took a bunch of outfits along and the girl said it was the most outfits she has ever done (I didn't use one) and the quickest with clothing changes. Brynn and her boyfriend, Michael came along to help me. I should get the digital files emailed to me in about a week so I will post them when I get them. Today Brynn and I are taking him to the mall to see the Easter bunny, hopefully it will go well!
