Birth Announcement Teaser

Here are a couple of pictures that almost got picked for Oliver's birth announcement. We think you will be pleased with the final product. 

 

Weekend Visitors

On Sunday we went to the Carbo's and met Oliver's great grandparents. Here he is with his cousin Sara and Great Granny Carbo.

Baby Oliver Week by Week: Week 1

The idea is to take a picture of Oliver in the same spot with the same stuffed animal every week to show his growth. 

Week 1: Oliver is about the same size as Curios George.

Oliver: The First Week

Food Coma

Oliver mistook his daddy's nose for a pacifier when he leaned in for a kiss.

Nap time for everyone

A stink eye contest. I think Oliver won.

Hello World!

Hello World! Meet Oliver Beauregard Carbo. Born Sept 2nd, 2011 at 3:10AM. He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 21 inches long. Instant charmer to all who met him.

Oliver's Nursery Preview

The finished product. Nathan and Pawpaw Carbo put up the beautiful chair rail. And this is our crib, the side table, and some artwork we chose. That chair rail divides the room into an aqua blue wall and a chocolate brown wall. The chocolate brown is actually chalk board paint, so little Oliver can be a little artist when the mood strikes him. 

Here is Oliver's dresser and hutch. It took forever and a day to arrive, but it's so nice and well made I think he'll be using it through high school.

Baby Showers and Cake

Gorgeous cake from Baton Rouge baby shower. Ambrosia bakery copied my nursery decor and colors onto the cake and put petit fours on top that looked like baby blocks. 

And lastly, my wonderful coworkers got these beautiful (and extremely tasty) petit fours for my last day at work. Those are baby booties and rattles on top.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful showers. We are now officially prepared for the arrival of little Oliver because of all your generous gifts. We can't wait for him to get here!
