Happy Halloween!

Oliver wants to wish everyone a spooktacular Halloween! He didn't go trick-or-treating this year because he outgrew his costume 3 months ago :) Here he is sporting all his original Halloween duds that I purchased before he was born. Unfortunately, he fit into them back in July when he was 3 months old :(

Here he is now, wearing all his new Halloween clothes!

Happy Halloween!

Oliver is 6 Months Old!

Weight: 20 lbs. 3 oz. (91st percentile)

Height: 28 1/2 inches (99th percentile)

What he's wearing: Size 3 diaper, 9-12 month clothes

Special tricks: Oliver is talking so much lately, and he is now stringing sounds together (da-da-da and ga-ga-ga). He still constantly rocks back and forth, and his legs and hands are always moving. He also recently got this first two teeth (bottom front) and began sitting up on his own!

Eating: Every 4 hours; he continues to eat fruits and veggies also. Right now, he is going through a phase where he prefers his vegetables to be mixed with fruit. Overall, he is not picky at all, though! We will soon be trying out meats and a few new fruits and veggies.

Sleeping: 8:00 pm - 6:00 am and longer on the weekends!

Activities: Oliver still enjoys his exersaucer and Johnny Jumper. He also likes reading books and playing with his stuffed animals that light up and play music.

Oliver's Baptism Day

Oliver was baptized at our church, St. Elizabeth's, this past Sunday. We were very blessed to have so many family and friends join us for this special occasion.

Oliver with his godparents, Deron and Amy...



He was such a good boy during the entire service.



He loved the pouring! He actually stuck his arm in the water of the baptism font as soon as he was close enough to touch it!

He was very intrigued by his baptismal candle. He kept reaching out and trying to grab it.

The Blessing of the Mothers...

Oliver with his Mama and Daddy, his godparents and Deacon Bill...

Grandma and Grandpa...

and Gigi...

My BTF, Jessica, came from Kentucky to help make Oliver's cake and to attend his baptism.

We had the most wonderful day and are so proud of how well Oliver did. Thank you to all our family and friends that made the trip to attend this blessed occasion in Oliver's life!

A Visit from Gigi

A few weekends ago (yes, I'm running really behind at life right now), my mom came to visit Oliver. We had a delicious dinner and did some shopping. Oliver made sure to show her all his new tricks. He loved spending time with his Gigi and looks forward to seeing her again soon!

Jumping Bean

Oliver got a new Johnny Jumper a couple of weeks ago, and he absolutely loves it!
