Like a True Jedi, Best Buds, Bath Time Craziness!


Oliver spent some time mastering the art of Dewback riding. Thanks in no small part to Grandpa Bolt and Cousin Luc. The force is strong in this one! Yes.
























Amber and I had our 10 year high school reunion at a park. Rosie and Oliver hit it off instantly. Soon, Rosie will have her own little one to play with (she's due this Winter)!
It was good to see old friends at our day in the park!

















There is a sacred bond between the Ralston and Mills family. It dates back to the days of Amber's youth, growing up with Matt, Kim, and Brad Ralston. Now, our kids are destined to be best friends. Oliver and Trey are three months apart and couldn't have a better time hanging out together. Trey likes to pat Big O's head and try to give him lots of open-mouth kisses. You could almost mistake these two for twins... if it wasn't for the different outfits. :)


















Now that Oliver is more mobile, we had to upgrade to a bath seat. Now he is locked in and upright, all while sporting some rockin' hair.
It just so happened that his bath toy was strategically placed over his baby business...


Given that he can now crawl, and he has 4 teeth, Oliver has officially achieved monster status! He can chase you down and bite you now! Oh, sure he looks sweet, but don't be fooled. He could take you.

Sharp claws, extremely fast, powerful bite, covered in fur... beware.

Fun in the Sun

Oliver's first time swimming! We had an end of the Summer party at Great Aunt Angie and Great Uncle Rob's house to celebrate Cousin Lauren's going away to college. The whole family was there and had a great time. If you can't tell by the pigment of our skin, Amber and I haven't made it out much this Summer...




He loved splashing in the water, and spent several minutes laughing at a tree... 

Summer Fun

Oliver has been a busy boy these last days of Summer. He loves to be outside. We've been visiting the park a great deal. He got to ride in a swing with Cousin Elliott and go down the slide with Daddy.

My First Tooth


Oliver has worked through his first tooth! 
He is making a lot more funny noises now, it's like he has a new instrument to work with. 




We visited Oliver's Great Grandma Mills and Great Aunt Belva last weekend. The last time they saw him, he was 3 weeks old. You could say that he has changed a bit since then. He was really happy the whole day and played with everyone. Belva even did a little jig with him. 

Of coarse we couldn't visit Grandma without seeing the miniature horses. I swear they get smaller every time we see them.

Good times.

Hot Sun


I love my Daddy!

Oliver wears this hat and a lot of sunblock whenever we are in the sun because I am paranoid about skin cancer, sun damage, and he looks pretty adorable in it!

Another First Friday

Oliver and I visited Matt at BlueBike on Friday. He had fun playing in his play yard during all the excitement.
