Growing Boy

Well, so far we have been terrible about keeping Oliver’s Blog updated. We soon realized after becoming parents, extra time does not exist, or when we do have a spare moment all we want to do is sleep.  Oliver has not disappointed us yet, he is perfect. On the 28th he will be offically 6 months old! I can’t believe how fast it has gone by. Every parent I have talked to says how fast it goes and now I know that they are correct. I am really trying to be in each moment with him, to absorb every change. My favorite part of the day is picking him up after work and feeding him when I get home. There is no TV on, no extra noise, just a quite time to spend with him as he plays with my mouth with his free hand, bounces his legs and takes little breaks to smile at me. It is a moment where we both are completely content with everything. I will really miss it when he is not breastfeeding anymore.  Since Matt has written last Oliver had his Baby Blessing. My Dad and Grandfather blessed him and he shared the day with my niece Elliott, who was also blessed. They both did very well. I think it was the first church service where one of us didn’t have to take Oliver to the back from being too fussy.  Oliver’s first Easter was exciting. I found him a very stylish 3 piece outfit. I took a photo of him in it and put it in my work badge. He really reminds me of Matt in it.  Oliver was very generous for Mother’s Day. He gave me a shopping spree to buy new clothes, since my pre-prego clothes just don’t fit anymore..bummer. Father’s Day was nice. Oliver and I gave Matt a day of relaxation on a boat with the Bolt Men. (due to weather they have rescheduled it for July).  Every week I feel like he has learned a new skill. When I dropped Oliver off at Mom’s house for the first time I actually did really well. It was nice having a break. But as he grows and discovers his world more and more, I find it much harder to leave him knowing that I will miss out.  I have pictures of him all over my desk, and I mean ALL over.  So far he is really good at holding his head up, grabbing everything, chewing, rolling everywhere, laughing, cracking up at Buddha, saying dada, a bunch of other random sounds, almost sitting, pushing buttons, eating rice cereal and avacodos, loves bath time and well of coarse being adorable. -still not sleeping through the night :( Next week we start him on more foods, I will post pictures of that sometime in the near future.
