We're all moved in to our new place. Well, except for a few boxes that haven't been unpacked yet. Here is a picture of our messy living room and John relaxing after a hard day of putting everything together. He starts his first day at EPG tomorrow!

Waking up on a Sunday morning.
Laughing at Dads bedhead
I'm getting sleepy
and sleepier
and I'm out.

Oliver had his 2 month Dr's appointment yesterday. He weighed in at 11 pounds 4 ounces and is now 23 inches long. The doc said he looked great! He got 4 shots, 2 in each leg and was very good for the nurse. He was sleepy all afternoon but didn't fuss too much.
We're all moving to Salt Lake City this weekend and there is a lot of packing to still be done. We may be not have an internet connection for a little while. Grandpa Ernie and Grandma Susan are coming next Friday to visit and we are excited to see them!

Wednesday

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!

Ollie on a Monday.


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!
He'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and if I haven't said it enough already, he's just growing so fast!

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!

4 Weeks Old

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...

Today is Tracie's birthday. Happy Birthday T!




What do you suppose this look means?


Not much new to report. Dusty, Lisa and Emmerson have been here this week and have been cooking great meals for us! It's so nice to have good friends around. Emmerson is awesome! She is pulling herself up and laughs all the time! She also puts her index finger in her mouth like she's constantly pondering something. It's probably b/c her tooth is coming in, but it may be that she knows something important that the rest of us overlook...
We got an inch of snow last night! Spring keeps teasing us with a nice day or two and then the snow and wind force us back inside. We're definitely insiders these days anyways.

Emmerson has picked the bookshelf as her favorite spot in our apartment.

Monday

Had to take Ollie in for a blood test and he weighed in at 9 pounds already!

update

Oliver had his two week pediatrician appointment on Friday and he already weighs in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces! He eats like a little monster so this shouldn't really be a surprise to me. Dusty, Lisa and Emmerson are heading from Portland to visit us for the week so we are all excited about that! Hopefully we can set the stage for an arranged marriage between Oliver and Emmerson in oh about 25 years. We are planning to stay in with D, L and E for Easter and make ourselves a good meal and have some quality friend time. I will post more pictures later in the week as I'm sure we'll be taking lot's!

One Week Old


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...

more Oliver

The blog is going to change names here soon but we will be sure to send out an email to all with the new web address. Be prepared for tons of pictures. Grandma Trish is still here being the biggest help in the world! We moved into a new place this weekend (isn't our timing great?) and her and Grandpa Bob and John moved almost everything in one day! We are settling into the new place just nicely.
