Thinking happy thoughts

This last weekend was pretty uneventful for the most part. Oliver has continued eating rice cereal in small amounts. He'll take down about 5 baby spoons worth and the rest ends up on his face, bib, hands and clothes. It's really funny. He's adorable. He'll be 4 months this Thursday and is currently 17 weeks old. Time flies by I swear. It's insane how big he is.



He spends a lot of time cooing and trying to talk. Baby talk is impossible not to smile at. You can't turn away, or try and not mimick it. It's just adorable. He's mastered "Hi!" it's a little long winded sometimes and jarrbled other times, but 9 times outta 10, it's a clear "hi!". He has also learned to grab things now. He will grab anything...any-thing. My poor hair, plugs and septum ring are beggin for this stage to end soon! I know I'm asking for the impossible, but it's worth a try!



The last couple of days he's also been "talking" to his puppy from grandma and Elmo from his Zippy(my mom, long story). He loves holding on to them and dropping them so I can pick them up over and over again. My silly boy is learning how I'd do anything for him...uh oh : )

Tuesday Snoozeday

I'm posting so late because I was busy "crafting" and eating earlier. It was worth it. The little man is FINALLY zonked out on my lap. He started taking a nap earlier but we were over Dave's parents house and his mom couldn't contain herself and accidently woke him up with her joy in seeing him. I was glad she got to see him awake before she went back to work but he refused to go back to sleep afterwards. He's been not as fussy lately during the day and at dinner and I attribute that to him getting a *very* small, runny amount of cereal everyday. He's officially 16 weeks, and will be 4 months on the 17th. It seems to be just what he needed. We'll see what my pedi says! Yikes!
Ollie has been doing really silly things lately. Eating his fist, "talking" and mimicking sounds, drooling and mouthing objects, trying to grab EVERYTHING, and squealing..loudly. He's also been more interested in books, rolling every chance he gets, and giggling at things I don't understand why are funny to him. Love him.







Tomorrow I'm gonna write a very special topic Thursday about something that meant a lot to me and I could never replace the feeling and moment. It was truly amazing. If you wanna know, read my post tomorrow! I'm excited to write about it!
Happy Wednesday/Thursday!

Weekend Recap

Last Friday we decided to go over to my parents house for the weekend. We don't get to see them that often, since they live close to an hour and a half away. They love having Ollie around and always make the biggest fuss over him, as they should with him being thier only grandchild.



Ollie's become a pro at rolling over now. Not so much stomach to back yet though. He loves playing on the floor and squealing like crazy. He makes the funniest sounds and trys to talk. He's so funny. I can't help laughing everytime he makes a silly noise and smiles all big and happy.



This weekend we went to Shady Maple smorgasbord and I literally ate so much food I almost vomited. I didn't know that was possible to eat that much. I felt fine till I got up to walk around. It was ridiculous...but thier food is AMAZING. Two words-turkey sausage. They have this turkey sausage that's stuffed with cheese, and I'd kill a man for it. So good. While we were there we stopped by thier grocery store they have and shopped a bit. Everything in there is so tempting. Luckily I felt like death so we left early with nothing more then some seltzer and rice cereal for Ollie to try. Speaking of that, Ollie had his first taste of rice cereal. I decided he was ready to at least *try* it. He was so eager and ate at least 4 small spoonfuls. Most of it was on his face and bib though. I don't think we'll be trying it again till I get the "ok" from his pedi.



Oliver loves my parents dog Molly and was squealing and "talking" in her direction while over there this weekend. I'm glad I have pictures like that one, Molly might not be around very much longer unfortunatley. All and all we had a great weekend over there besides me "dying" Saturday morning and Dave being sick on Sunday morning. I hope we can see them again sooner rather then later in the month. It's always a good time. Hope your Monday was good readers!
