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.

4 1/2 Months!!!


I know I know - I've been terrible about updating! The little man sleeps less and less, so I find myself without any time to even take pictures, let alone blog about them! But here I am, and here are some new delights for your viewing pleasure!

The biggest news is that Oliver starting sitting this week! He started out sort of slumped over his knees and then has gradually been learning how to keep himself straight!! The moments never last long, but Papa Jim was able to catch it a few days ago!


Speaking of Papa Jim - he and Nana Lynn came down for a visit because Uncle Jim and Aunt Dani came all the way from California to meet our little man! Oliver was quite taken with both of them - they got many more laughs out of him than I ever do!

Here are all of the Bird men together - quite a handsome bunch, I'd say! (of course, Oliver is the cutest of them all!)

Here he is, laughing the night away and charming us all!
He has also finally started to enjoy spending some time on his fat little belly (he used to scream every time I laid him like that), so I tried to catch some pictures of him talking and smiling at Mama! Unfortunately, I discovered how creepy the faces I make at him are... he seems to find it all very amusing though, so I'm sure I won't stop! :)


And of course, a parting gift of Oliver's beautiful sleeping face... sigh.

I just love that little man!
