A Big Week For Caleb!



On Thursday they had Kid Olympics and Caleb was so excited to come home from school and show us his very first medal. Then, on Friday when he got home from school he wanted to show me his loose tooth. We had noticed a few weeks ago he had a loose tooth and just told him to keep wiggling it. Well, when I looked at it on Friday it was barely hanging there! Actually his big tooth was already through his gums behind it. He wasn't convinced anyone should pull it out yet (fear of pain and blood you know). However I just had to barely pull it and it was out without him even realizing what I had done. He was very excited and couldn't believe it didn't hurt. The tooth next to it is loose and so now he is working on it. The tooth fairy left him a fifty cent piece and two quarters.

Oliver's First Smile On Camera





Oliver went in for his first pictures on Friday. While he has been smiling for a little over 3 weeks, this is the first time it has been caught on camera.

Two Months And Well!



Oliver went in for his 2 month check up today! He was 22 3/4 inches and weighed 10 lbs 14oz! Besides a goopy eye he is doing great. He got 3 shots and an oral rotavirus vaccine. We are so happy to have such a healthy, happy baby!

Elton's First Dentist Appointment!


While Elton has gone into the dentist with Caleb before and sat in the chair with him, yesterday was his first official appointment and cleaning. He was very excited and loved all of the "gadgets". He had to try out the buttons on the tooth polisher and also on the water squirter. He was quite the little ham about everything and had both the hygenist and I cracking up. When it came to Caleb's turn, Elton thought he needed to help with the gadget then too. His teeth are looking good and he is excited that next time he will get pictures taken of them too.

Family Pictures





We had our families back for lunch and cake after Oliver's baptism. The weather was beautiful so the adults were able to visit and the kids able to play. Here are some pictures.

Oliver's Baptism

Oliver was baptised today! Here are some pictures of him in his little outfit. I have made it a tradition for each of the boys to have their own outfit and blanket for their baptism to save if they want to use some day if they have a boy of their own.

A Picture With Mommy!

Believe it or not, this is the first picture of Oliver with me since leaving the hospital! It always seems like I am the one taking the pictures, so tonight I had Papa Jack take one of us. This is Oliver's hotsling. I wish I would have had one with the other boys. Oliver love being in it and it seems to make him instantly happy to just hang out with me and be cozy. He quite often hangs out with me in it while I am getting dinner ready, eating and/or cleaning up. It will hold him in 5 different positions as he grows and is good up to 35 lbs.

Meeting Papa Jack!

Nana and Papa Jack arrived today! This is their first time meeting Oliver. Oliver took to Papa Jack very quickly. When I answered the door I had Oliver with me. Almost immediately upon seeing him and hearing his voice, Oliver started smiling. Here is Papa Jack holding Oliver for his first time. Oliver could not stop looking at him and studying his face!

Big Brother Duty!


Caleb is an awsome big brother and has been very eager to help out with Oliver. Today, for the first time, he got to feed Oliver. He was quite pleased and did a very good job. You can tell that Oliver likes Caleb's voice and did great with him feeding him.

7 Weeks Old!


Oliver will be 7 weeks old tomorrow! This morning Elton wanted Oliver to watch a Baby Einstein movie with him since Caleb is at school and not around to hang out with. Both Caleb and Elton have loved Baby Einstein since they were Oliver's size so they are eager for him to share in it. This is also the swing they used so we set it up in the living room they like to watch movies in. This was Oliver's first time in this swing so he was quite fascinated by the clicking sound from up top when we first turned it on which is why in the top picture he is looking up. The little doggie outfit is one that Elton wore. Both Caleb and Elton love hearing about the things they wore and did when they were babies. Every time Oliver wears something, Caleb asks if he wore it when he was a baby and thinks that is cool. They both love commenting on how cute Oliver is and Elton continues to tell people that he came out of my tummy.
