my little guy

Little Oliver...growing so much! i cannot believe how much he has grown in the past couple of weeks. A couple of days ago i went through his clothes and had to pack away a very large pile of clothes that no longer fit him!! it made me sad...not only were those clothes cute, but that means he is growing up waaay too fast!!

But, Brandon and i are enjoying every minute of him! He has started to smile at us...and a couple of times he has given us a little giggle!! In the middle of the night while feeding him...he will stop nursing, look up at me and give me a grin!! That must be his way of saying "thanks for getting up with me again!!" It just melts my heart!!

i've been able to capture a couple of smiling photos...

now, that's a serious face!

oh, so happy!

adorable little profile...

he scratched the side of his little face with his his fingernails...ouch!

our little family of three

While up north, i asked mom to take a few photos of brandon, ollie and i. i packed clothes for this day that would look good in a family photo...yes, i packed brandon's clothes for him!!
i rather like how they turned out...thank you mom for taking photos of us!!
now i just have to print some of these off and hang them up!

Great-Grandparents

Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Ostrowski came over to mom and dad's house while we were there to see little Oliver. Oliver is great-grandchild number 11 for them!!

great-grandma Betty holding little Ollie

and great-grandpa Roger with Ollie...only that one didn't last too long...Ollie wasn't too happy at that point in being pasted around!!

Ceara's Confirmation

Last weekend Brandon, Oliver and i made our way up north to mom and dad's house for Ceara's Confirmation. We left on Friday late afternoon (Oliver slept almost the entire time!!) and when we arrived we were ignored! Well, Brandon and i were...everyone's eyes were for Oliver!! I thought that was so cute...everyone says once you have a baby they are the most important thing and nobody pays too much attention to the parents anymore!! Hahaha!!
Ceara's confirmation was on Saturday...a very nice service.
She has put a lot of time and dedication into her preparation for confirmation...and i was very proud of her!

She asked me to be her sponsor...which i gladly agreed to!

beautiful miss ceara rose...
(note...the curls took a very long time to accomplish!!)

Brandon took this photo of the both of us...

all clean...

Oliver's bath time! He loves his baths...he can be crying and then you put him in his little bath tub and he stopps! He likes to arch his back and slide down...so i have to keep a hand on his tummy so he won't slide under the water! And he had his first drink of water the other day in the bathtub too! While i was rinsing him off a little bit of water went too far up onto his chin and a little bit went into his mouth!! He made a confused face as his little tongue went in and out from "drinking" the water!! At least he hadn't peed in the bath that morning!! Yesterday and today were his only 2 times of peeing in the bathtub...the water must have been nice and warm!!

(there is no doubt in my mind that this little fellow is not getting enough to eat...just look at that big tummy!!)

random photos

Random photos of little Oliver that is...like really...who else do i take photos of??

love this little outfit he was wearing...

Ollie was napping on the couch one evening and brandon thought his little hand was in the perfect position to hold a guitar pick!! So Brandon slid a pick between his fingers and thumb and thought that was pretty cool!! silly daddy...

sleeping oliver

Little Oliver sleeping in his crib...i finally have proof that he does sleep in there...
sometimes at least!

precious sleeping babe

One afternoon, i looked over to the couch where Oliver was napping and saw how cute he looked with his little hand up on his face. He had his hand propped up onto his face and it looked just so cute! So i had to snap a few photos...
