oh my I am a slacker.

Well I have no excuses for not updating for so long, other than being ridiculously busy as always...

Oliver is turning 6 months old on Tuesday - I can hardly believe it's true! He does new and exciting things every day, and continues to be a delightfully happy baby! He did have a nasty cold a couple of weeks ago (still dragging on), so he wasn't his normally chipper self for awhile... and somehow, he figured out VERY quickly what kinds of sounds get Mama's attention, so now he feigns being sad or angry very well! It's actually pretty hilarious, because he scrunches up his eyes in an angry face, makes an angry sound, but still wears a decided smirk on his lips... he is going to be quite the little stinker, I think! It's strange how suddenly they change from innocent little infants into plotting little babies! He is still mostly innocent, of course, but I'm definitely in for some sass later on! I enjoy it all, though, and can't wait for every moment!

As always, I have many things to do today, so I'll keep the written part short - enjoy all of the pictures!!!

Chubby slumbering baby.

Chewing on his blankie - a favorite hobby.

Oliver LOVES being outside!

He also loves Mama!

And Dr. Seuss!!

A little delirious after naptime!

And my goodness - he knows how to use those eyes to his advantage!

His chubby cuteness!

Mama's little walrus! :)

Daddy won't let me post any pictures online where his little manhood is in view, so this is all I will post of bath-times! His big fat belly is sooo delightful!

Saturday morning snuggle time!

Oh the delightfulness of him!

Snuggly man!


And I just took this picture this morning....
And immediately realized that it looks a LOT like this picture:
which just so happens to be my brother... it's a little weird.
