Oliver Visits Denver

The little Mister & I got to go to Denver last week.  The flight to Denver could not have gone smoother. Everyone commented at the end of the flight what a perfect little traveler I have.

Oliver enjoyed all the extra attention,

& slept like a champ - - 8 hours each night!

He even did well, with all the 'Get up & Go.' AKA:  All the Antique Shopping...

once these guys arrived for some fun!

 

Grandpa entertained Oliver & I when we got bored of all the antique malls.

Oliver gave lots of cute smiles...we couldn't get enough.

 

 

Do you notice somebody likes his monkey friend...

[Thanks Auntie Beth for the Monkey.]

I wish the flight home was as smooth as his three previous flights, but alas, it was not. The worst part about it included Oliver's first poopy blow out, preceded by him & I in an airplane laboratory for clean-up duty. We were definitely excited to get home & see Jordan & Cadbury.

Ollie misses his adoring fans though...

Love my family! ♥ ♥ ♥



Two Months

We have been busy enjoying the cooler weather. We have been getting out more & more as we figure out how the little babe operates.

His "little buddies," as we call them, come with us wherever we go.  On Saturday night, Jordan, Oliver & I went out for sushi. Oliver got to dress up for the occasion...his first pair of jeans & the first time I made him wear shoes.

At the end of each day, Oliver enjoys his baths.

 He just hates getting OUT of the bath/sink.

He also hates that mom put him in this embarrassing robe...

He much prefers his towel.

We are loving this cute guy to pieces!

I am enjoying his new sleeping habits. He sleeps 6 hours, gets fed, then sleeps 4 more hours.

Go Ollie!

We are all loving the new swing Daddy bought us!

As my mom said, "It's the Cadillac of swings."

It does everything, but change his diapers. ;)

Oliver just stares & stares at the mirror hanging above him. 

At his 2 month check-up, Ollie weighed in at 11 pounds 14 ounces & grew an inch, 21.5 inches {a little short, which is kind of a surprise}.
My newborn baby is growing up!

Mom Turns 30

For years, whenever my mom was asked for her age, she replied, "29."

After her last birthday, I told her she is going to have to say 30 now.

We had a Girls Lunch at Matta's! Yum!

At night, we went over to Beth & Adam's for the celebration.

Tim made BBQ pork tenderloin...

with every bite I took, I couldn't stop myself from saying, "WOW!" Seriously, so dang good. My bro can cook!

I made the German Chocolate Cake...

which doesn't disappoint either.

I cannot believe how BIG these 2 boys have grown, Drake & Quincy.

Drake couldn't believe I wasn't his Mother. Poor guy was very confused.

Can you see why?!

Even our husbands {mostly Jordan} mixes us up.

Happy Birthday Mama! We love you to pieces!

 



Smiley

As I mentioned in the last post, Oliver has started smiling! Yay!

 

So, for your viewing pleasure, my smiley boy...

 

 

 

 

 

That's all, folks!

[P.S. A couple days ago, I heard a little laugh. Can't wait for more of those!]



Oliver's First Flight

 

We thought we would get Oliver started early on

 

flying. So at 6 weeks old, him & I boarded a plane for Arizona.

 

Thankfully, all Ollie did was sleep on the flight! Good baby! He really must have liked it because once we landed and got off the plane, he screamed all the way through the Phoenix Airport.

On Sunday, we arranged for Oliver

to be blessed at my parents house.

 

Jordan gave a beautiful Baby Blessing

and we were so glad to be surrounded by a lot of family.

 

Oliver was a perfect angel and slept through the entire thing...as you can see...

One of Jordan's best friends was able to come, Bryce, with his adorable newbie, Beckett.

Ollie wore the same outfit & booties his Dad wore when he was blessed.

We had a good time with family, as always.

It was fun to be home, where everyone could see,

 

 Oliver started smiling at 7 weeks old.

I ♥ my little boy!

Thanks for being so good on our flights! Whew!
