The Beach

Oliver's first trip to the beach. May 2012. Oliver spent most of the trip fighting an ear infection so below are the few photos we have with him not crying. When he wasn't miserable, he loved the water and got to try his first real table food: grilled chicken, penne pasta, butter beans, and mashed potatoes. 

Spring!

Here are a few scenes from Spring. There were a lot of birthdays to celebrate, Oliver's first Easter, and a fun fundraiser.

First Easter. Oliver got new sippy cups, a stuffed dog and bibs.

And we went bowling to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. Our team was called Split Happens. 

Catch up

Here are a bunch of photos we just found on a disc we just discovered we had. Enjoy!

Waiting for Oliver. We look so happy, because 1) we are delirious and 2) they told us it was finally time to push

Cooking with Ollie

Here is Ollie sitting up in his chair and helping me cook in the kitchen. He is learning to grasp objects and bring them towards himself. He is so neat.

Trick or Treat

Oliver and Daddy waiting for trick or treaters. We served candy out of a gumbo pot, gummies out of a trick or treat basket, and had "spooky" dining room chairs.

Our little stinker

Not a fan of his outfit

Oliver came to work with me halloween day to show off his costume. All of the little old ladies just fell out of their walkers over how cute he looked. He made it through all the pinching and sweet talk before he finally had enough of being a skunk.

Week 8

Oliver Week 8: Here is Oliver just before Halloween. He was able to sit up for a short period of time and turn his head from side to side. He also started to track sound.

Just Being Oliver

Here is oliver doing the backstroke in the tub. It's a reflex for babies to float when you support their heads, but we still think he is pretty amazing. 

Here is Nathan (standing off camera) trying to get Oliver to smile for his picutre by blowing in his face. He did finally smile, but fell over while doing so.
