New Foods!

Now that Oliver has hit the 6 month mark, he is exploring a whole new world of food possibilities. So far he is eating rice cereal, pears, sweet potatoes, peas and prunes (the prunes are because he may have had a bit too much rice cereal - oops...) Here are some photos of his recent meals. As you can see, much of it is still ending up on him instead of in him.

A Busy Couple of Weeks

It has been awhile since I updated Oliver's blog. We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Matt's aunt Sandy, who was an absolutely wonderful woman, passed away a few weeks ago and last weekend we flew to Arizona for her memorial service. It was nice to see everyone during this difficult time and most of all, it was really wonderful to take some time to remember Sandy. Sandy was extremely loving, encouraging, creative and a whole lot of fun. We will miss her so much. Below are some photos of Sandy that I thought were particularly beautiful.
We stayed at a very nice hotel while were in Arizona. Here is Oliver and Matt snugglin' in the big king sized bed - pretty luxurious - a king sized bed would pretty much take up our entire bedroom :)

The other thing that kept us busy in the last couple of weeks was that Oliver got his first illness. Poor kid had what we think was hand, foot and mouth. He had a fever and a sore throat and we were pretty much homebound through the entire Labor Day weekend. But, he healed quickly and he is back to his happy self!
