We're celebrating Oliver's one week birthday today. It's insane how much he's been changing every day! Yesterday marked a historic time in our lives when Tracie took a solid stream of urine to the shoulder and the face. I knew that boy had the potential.
Trish has been an amazing help around the house as Tracie continues to get stronger. Tomorrow she leaves for Michigan and we will all definitely miss her presence... Especially Ollie, who seems to burp and pass the gas mostly in her arms. It's that soothing voice of hers. I think she may be moving to Idaho Falls in April.
Trace is on Spring Break this week and I'm truly envious of all the time she gets to spend at home. She's such an amazing Mom!! I'm back to work and having a difficult time focusing on the job. Yesterday I caught myself hovering over my desk swinging my hips like I was trying to put Oliver to sleep in my arms. This was the second time its happened and I'm sure it's normal. I think it's normal?
Anywho, you're here for the pics, so I'll quite rambling...
Waking up on a Sunday morning.
Laughing at Dads bedhead
I'm getting sleepy
and sleepier
and I'm out.
Yesterday Ollie was 6 weeks old. He wore his new outfit from Grammie Trish and was told how handsome he was by Dr Huggins. I think he knows how handsome he is. He has been sleeping much better through the night these days. I think we could almost say he has a night schedule... He was very excited to meet a bunch of family members this past weekend although he was a little bit overwhelmed. So many cousins! He did very good on the airplane and his mom was proud of him. He can't wait to see them all again in August for Uncle Dan's wedding. Grandpa Earl is doing much better after the open heart surgery last Thursday. He's back at home and taking it one day at a time...
Oliver loves his new camo outfit from Grandpa Ernie. We had a hard time finding him when he fell asleep near our forest of plants in the dining room. It's a good thing he had those black socks on!
I don't care what you think about my dinosaur jammies, I'm not taking em' off!
Oliver has been amazing over the past few days! He's been sleeping better at night, he smiles all the time (at least when he's filling the diaper), and his eyes are getting much better as he loves to watch his mom work on her juggling routine in front of the fire place. We're all feeling much more rested and I think we may be getting the hang of this parenting thing!
Staring at mom (post juggle).
Muhammad Ollie? (Ignore that they're actually red socks on his hands)
Thanks for the new flushable diapers Aunt Kara! Trying to save the planet one dirty diaper at a time... I think dad put it on backwards though.
Ahhh... A Smile!
He's growing so FAST!! Our arms arm getting much stronger from toting him around and we'll probably be ready for a arm wrestling match if there are any challengers out there...
Emmerson has picked the bookshelf as her favorite spot in our apartment.
