Olivers Updates

My cool play mat/quilt that Gram made me…I love playing on it!

Brrr…it’s cold outside.

Grandpa came to visit for the weekend – we decided to go visit the Snoqualmie Train Museum and ride the train.

What the heck is that? Looks like Oliver aimed right for Blu! Baby spit up all over the place…

What are these funny things on your face? Can I eat them?

Thanks Grandpa for coming to visit, I sure loved to see you! Now if only my other grandparents would come visit me too!

Mommy and daddy got sick of everyone telling them they should cut my hair…so, they decided to take me in for a cut. I have to admit it was getting a bit out of control and I loved to pull on it (just like I do to mommy). Maybe now people won’t always say what a cute girl I am…so much for my 80’s mullet.

My bald spot and very long hair in the back.

Are you sure you want to get my haircut? I am awfully cute just the way I am!

Mommy had to sit in the chair with me so she could hold me, what a dashing purple cape she has.

But not as cool as my zebra stripes!

Soft and silky, I like it…

Here we go, this is your last chance to run!

Oh man!

Mommy told me to stay really still, here goes nothing!

This isn’t so bad, I was smiling like a fool at the hair stylist, she enjoyed it!

Mommy did a little cheek to cheek number so that I would keep my head still, she didn’t want my ear trimmed.

From the side…

From the front…

Mommy’s favorite, snugglin’ with me!

That concludes my exciting adventure at the haircut place, I was happy as a clam and enjoyed myself…I hope to see you all soon so I can show off my snazzy do-whip! By the way, I went to the butcher shop afterwards  and some lady called me a girl, people these days!

Today we went to the Mount Vernon Tulip festival, with my second cousins Griffin and Hudson!

Daddy took a giant picture of all of the flowers.

This was not one of my proudest moments.

Griffin and Hudson

I need to get a new toupée.  

Scavenger hunt!  Prizes to the first correct answers…

How many monkeys are there?  (there are more than 10)

How tall/long was Oliver at birth?

What is the current room temperature?

What color crown is Dave wearing at his birthday party?

Is smoking allowed in this room?

Haven’t quite figured out how to crawl yet, but I can still get around by scooting on my back!

Today mommy decided to give me some rice cereal. She was going to make it herself but changed her mind and went with Earth’s Best Organic Rice Cereal for my first try. I had 4 tablespoons of food once it was all mixed up with my mommy’s milk (1 tbs. food, 3 tbs. breast milk) and I ate half of it! I probably could have eaten all of it but mommy made me stop just incase it gave me a tummy ache. Most babies spit this stuff out first try but I was hungry and actually swallowed most of it…what can I say, I’m a professional eater!

I get a bib…something good must be coming!

My first cereal, only the best!

What on earth is that thing in your hand mom? You want me to open my mouth?!?

Hmm, I could get used to this.

This is nonsense mom, give me the spoon, I can do it myself!

Dad, I’m eating, stop taking my picture, I know I’m messy!

The view from where I sit, you would eat too if you were looking at that (kinda scary!)…

Oh so good.

Hey, where are you going with my food?!? Come back here.

I sure love to have daddy read to me.

I even like to turn the pages!

Oh no, here comes mommy, time for bed!

Hey! I can’t escape across the floor if I’m in this thing! Thanks Auntie Anne for getting it for me!
