Big Eyes

Just had to post this because I love how big my baby's eyes are.

His eyes are still beautiful even when he's not happy with me.

7th Birthday - Trina

Happy 7th Birthday our beautiful grand-daughter, Trina.

Watching our baby grow is so much fun! It's mesmerizing to watch his mind think. I never grow tired of watching him. He is so inquisitive. He's also very strong. As you can tell from this picture of him hanging on to the shelf. He loves to climb and it seems like he never tires. He just keeps going and going.

I love his big eyes and his beautiful, captivating smile.

He's such a funny baby. He does not go around things. He will go through and over but not around. It's almost like he enjoys a challenge and would rather take the harder route than the easier one. Wonder if this is a sign for the future.

Most of all I just love him with all my heart! What a blessing!

5th Doctors Appt

I guess I didn't blog about his 4th doctors appointment. Maybe because I didn't have pictures so I'll just put his stats in here for my journal purposes.

Age 4 months 1 day

Weight 11.87 lbs (3.83 Percentile)

Length 23.5 inches (6.77 Percentile)

Head Circumference 15.75 inches (6.35 Percentile)

The below pictures are from his 5th doctors appointment that was supposed to be done at 6 months but I didn't get him in until he was 8 months. Oops!

Age 8 months 8 days

Weight 15.12 lbs (0.8 Percentile)

Length 26 inches (3.52 Percentile)

Head Circumference 17.25 inches (19.12 Percentile)

Okay well maybe he isn't growing in length and weight but at least his head is growing. Big Head!

Waiting to get his shots.

This little boy is so strong. Got his shots, let out a yelp and that was it.

He must be strong like his mommy.

His cute little thick thighs all poked up like he was a pin cushion.

Thanksgiving

Yes, daddy looks a little tired. But this is Oloiso's new face he makes. Like he's a little tough guy. The scrunched up nose . . . like "You wanna piece of me" look. Funny kid.

He also likes to get in his bouncy chair but jump in it instead of sit and bounce.

Olivia was a little paranoid that he would fall and hurt himself so she started to surround him with blankets and pillows. What a loving sister.

We decided to spend Thanksgiving over at Grama Pat's this year. Yes, saved me from making an entire Thanksgiving meal.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Why? Well because of the food of course. No, that's not really why. I just love the meaning of the holiday. Of giving thanks and being thankful. And yes, I won't like . . . I LOVE the food too.

Oloiso's first Thanksgiving and he's attempting to eat mashed potatoes with that face again.

Me and my handsome husband! I just love him to pieces and am thankful we met and are sharing our lives together.

Wow, mommy needs to loose some weight! Sheesh!

My Baby Can Read

So this is what we do at wee hours in the morning when baby can't sleep . . . he reads. Coincidence or planned that I got a picture of him reading the word sit while he sits?

He really does love watching them. I just wonder if he's retaining any of it. I guess time will tell.

This is his cute little mug eating. Always messy pictures but still a cute little baby!

Oh and daddy putting his hat with hair on baby.

Teething?

One of the hardest things as parents is to see your babies sick and not be able to do anything about it. This is the first time we were dealing with Oloiso being sick. He ran a really high fever 103.6 for a couple days. Because he was also drooling a lot and had a runny nose we figured he was teething. It still was not a fun couple of nights for either daddy or mommy. I'm sure it wasn't fun for baby either.

Here daddy is doing his best to ease the pain his baby is going through.

It was just so sad to see him like this. He just wanted to be held and was pretty lathargic for a few days. Our poor little boy.

Two Peas in a Pod

These two can always get me to smile. Oloiso playing with his daddy!

They both adore each other.

Daddy kept pushing his head down and Olo would pop it up. He thought it was a funny game.

Here our little monkey is exercising his climbing abilities.

He's climbing from the recliner to the love seat.

Silly boy!
