11 Weeks (almost)!

Oliver and Daddy - my 2 handsome men!

Tomorrow Oliver will be 11 weeks old! As you can see, he is becoming masterful at making himself look as pitiful and adorable as possible - quite to his advantage, I might add! He certainly knows how to make Mama swoon, that's for sure! I mean, seriously - who can resist this face??

This past weekend Oliver got to take his first trip to the zoo to celebrate cousin Libiya's 2nd birthday! He snuggled into daddy and slept through the whole thing, but it was certainly exciting for the rest of us!

(no that's not a 'stache and goatee - that's Libi's birthday cookie lovingly licked into oblivion!)

Oliver is still changing so much every day! One day I think he looks exactly Andy as a toddler, and then the next I think he looks exactly like me/my brother (apparently we look like twins from a distance)! Either way, he certainly is a handsome little man - and boy does he know it!

Looking like Mama.
Looking like Daddy!

He has recently fallen in love with his Owl mobile! He loves to watch them spin around and gets very excited about the music! Then, once they stop, he squirms and smiles and talks to them for a long long time! It has certainly given Mama the opportunity to catch up on some housework, so we're both quite happy about things!

He also has been able to grab ahold of toys! I don't think he quite knows that it's happening, but he's definitely reaching and trying to grab things, so pretty soon I think he'll make the connection! He continues to smile and jabber at me all day long, and it is SO delightful that I almost cry at least 2 or 3 times a day! It's not hormones, it's just my baby! ...sigh... I love him. In case you didn't know already. :)

more soon! Check out his other blog for more pics and videos! www.oliverbird.tumblr.com
