Five Months

I can't believe this boy is getting so BIG so fast!

Slow it down buddy!

Yesterday, at church, I got to hold a 2-month old, who had already been passed around a bunch & was not happy. She came to church with her grandma & I would imagine she just wanted her mama. I figured I had to be the closest thing to her mama. (Who knows best how to hold a 2-month old than someone who just had a 2-month old 3 months ago - do you follow?) Anyway, she calmed right down & fell asleep. My theory was correct & it made me feel pretty good to be the 'Professional.'

Oliver has recently become VERY attached to me. :) He will be screaming & sobbing when Jordan has him & then takes one look at me & starts to laugh. {I then, start to laugh & Jordan then, rolls his eyes. Poor Dad.} I told him the tides will be turned eventually & all Ollie will want is for Daddy to come home.

We have been pretty busy lately...

'tis the Season' for business. Ollie & I will be headed to AZ soon, shortly followed by Jordan, so we had our Christmas a little early this year.

Ollie loves his new jumperoo!

The only problem...

are those shrimpy legs! Easily remedied! :)

 

We are ready for Christmas to get here officially. All we need is to pack & find a home for this cuddly creature over the holidays. {His previous sitter has sadly moved. Sad story!}

Who wouldn't want him curled up on their lap on Christmas morning?!?



Rice Cereal

"Oliver! Tell us your feelings towards rice cereal!"

"Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel?!"

Cadbury, at least, is interested.



Reindeer Sweater

I have been on the search for a Christmas sweater.

Not for myself...for Cadbury.

Every dog needs a Christmas sweater. {In my opinion.}

I finally found the perfect one.

 

 

 

The other morning, I asked Cadbury, "Where is your ball? Go find your ball!"

Referring to this orange, indestructible ball...

He took off searching every nook & cranny of the house then disappeared. I figured he got bored, couldn't find his ball & got distracted by a squirrel in need of being chased and barked at.

Then I heard Cadbury come bursting through the doggy door & he dropped this next to me.

One of his 'outside-ONLY' balls. He was as proud as a peacock. I think he took offense when I picked it up {with a tissue} & threw it out the back door. ;)

Since we have a Cadbury themed post going here, this was the scene at our house this morning.

Can't help but love that Diablo Blanco!



Sweet Cheeks

My sister did a very short photo shoot with Oliver while we were in town.

{Short because he quickly turned into a grump.}

He has brought so much joy into his parents' lives & we love him so much more than we could ever have imagined.

Yesterday, I was a little upset at Jordan over something & Oliver started laughing at me.

It made it very difficult to be serious when such a cute face was laughing at my anger. I suppose it is only fair, I do the exact same thing to him. Whenever he starts to get grumpy, I try to make him laugh instead.

Ollie is getting so much personality & I can tell he is only going to make us fall more in love with him & those sweet cheeks with every passing day.
