New Activity Mat

Today Oliver finally got an activity mat and he loves it. He laid under it for a whole hour while listening to his new c-d of baby songs. He also had story time with Daddy last night and paid attention for the whole book. So big!

Ollie goes to the pool

So today was Oliver's second trip to the pool. Mommy and Daddy spent a relaxing day there and it felt good to be outside in the heat and spending time together as a family. All weekend was family time together and it was great. Today Oliver had 2 firsts; he wore his swim trunks for the first time, but never actually had them on at the pool since he napped the whole time, and he also had his first shower. Daddy noticed that Oliver had peed on everything in sight so he put him in the shower with Mommy for a quick clean-up. Not sure what Oliver thought of it, but it seemed to work okay, although Mommy made sure to hold on very tight. That's all for now; enjoy the photos!

Friday Night Creek Walk

Last night we went to the Vacaville Creek Walk, which is a summer concert series in downtown Vacaville on Friday nights. We had a nice time although is was pretty chilly and windy! Good thing I brought Oliver's blanket to keep him toasty! Notice our friend Ama's pink shirt? We found out she's expecting and got that for her to help announce the wonderful news to all of Vacaville. I am glad she felt comfortable wearing it as I don't think I would have when I was pregnant.

7 weeks

Oliver is now 7 weeks old. Wow he is growing like a weed. As you can probably tell from the pictures he's really filling out noticeably in the face and thighs. Here are a few pictures from the last 2 days. Last night (actually 3AM) while feeding him it was 65 degrees in our house with the windows open and the ceiling fan on and Oliver was chilly so I bundled him up in his blankie and stocking cap. I thought he looked so darn cute I was laughing out loud while taking his picture...Daddy slept through it all. Needless to say I couldn't get him to go back to sleep in his bed so he ended up sleeping with me and we both woke up sweaty.

 

 

 

 

Ollie goes on a walk

Here are some pictures of our family walk this evening. Ollie needed a blanket because it cools off so much in the evenings. The wind picks up a lot too, which is why our temps can vary so much. It's hot during the day and then windy and cool every evening. Keeps us from having to turn on the air! Right now it's 9PM and 69 degrees and was in the 90's earlier today.

Today

Here are some pictures from today. We were able to get a couple decent ones of Oliver smiling. (It's not a good pic of his mommy, but you can see him smiling up at me.) He's only done this a few times so daddy did good getting it in a photograph. He's been smiling and almost laughing in his sleep for a while, but his new thing this past week is to goo and ga and grin while he's looking around at things while either laying in his crib or the changing table (never while I am holding him). He still acts like he doesn't see us looking at him, but every now and then he'll focus on our faces rather than what's around us and we'll either get a grin or his famous serious concentration frown. Tonight Daddy had to work so around 8:00, when it had finally cooled off, Ollie and I set out on a walk and he laid in a reclined position strapped into his stroller (without the car seat attached) and looked around the whole time with the wind blowing through his hair. I should have got a picture because it made him look so big! He's so much fun!

Fajita Night!

Tonight we had a fiesta at our place and invited two other couples, which are good friends that Jeff works with. They loved getting to hang out with Oliver and hold him.

Week of 7/5/09

Well, the siblings have come and gone and here are a few more pictures from their visits. Oliver will be 6 weeks on Wednesday and we can't believe how much he's grown and how quickly the time has gone by!

4th of July, etc.

We had a crazy past week with Auntie Karen visiting as well as Uncle Weston and Caitlin. Today Oliver went in for his 1 month doctors visit. He weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces and is 20.25" long. He also had to get his second shot. :( Here are some pictures we took on the 4th of July as well as our trip to Napa with the family.
