OLIVER ROAN 1 MONTH OLD!!!

Wow where did the time go??? It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital and a month has already gone by! It makes me so sad to think that that we won't have that time back. I don't feel like we have taken enough pictures and captured so many firsts on camera! Maybe b/c the only camera we have right now is our large SLR so it is safely kept away and not easy to keep at my side. Oh well we were in survival mode going from 1-2 has been tough. Ollie is very demanding and quick tempered! He doesn't like to be messed with or put down at all and doesn't sleep unless it is on my lap! He weighs right around 9lbs right now and eats all day long. He still is a skinny tiny guy though wearing premie clothing !

His eyes are definety going to be blue like Leighton and Than, not green like mine. He is using a pacifier now to help comfort himself, so its nice when this does work and its getting better. He has started smiling at us and is much more alert/aware of his surroundings. Overall he is an adorable child needy...but we love him and are so happy to have him!

This outfit is my favorite it is one of 3 that fit him now, its a premie size but fits well.

I love this picture he is sleeping so peacefully in his bouncy seat.

Oliver's Bathtime

These are the first bath pictures of Oliver we have taken. He is almost a month old in these ;( It has been hard to adjust to life with two, but mainly b/c Oliver has a very hot temper and is very demanding/picky! He is the tough one we can tell. Everytime we bathed him we forgot the camera! So here they are finally some bath pictures of Ollie, it makes me very sad to have not captured the first bath pictures but I can't beat myself up about it, I was running on very little/almost none...sleep.

Just like any other time you mess with him he hates bathtime and screams for mercy.

STARWARS and BATHTIME

Than and I bought these in Nyc for Leighton, they are his "Guys" for the shower. He still loves bathtime and goes crazy when he gets to take and actual bath instead of a shower. Our little water bug!

Washing his feet

Storm trooper and Chewy

Drinking the water

Starwars and breakfast!

We have recently added some Star wars toys to Leighton's toy collection. He is really loving playing with little figures so these Star wars sets were great! His pretend play/imagination is really taking off! I am loving all the sounds he makes and how he plays with his "Guys" he calls them all "Guys" so cute!! I love finding special cool boy toys for him that he will just love! These were a hit! Nothing says cool little boy like Star Wars right??? WE do spoil him but we love playing with cool toys just as much!

What a handsome face!!

MOTHER'S DAY 2009

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mother's day is so special its the day that reminds me how lucky I am to be a mom! Being a Mom was the only thing I knew I wanted to do with my life and I am so blessed to have two darling lil boys to carry out that dream! It is the most rewarding job a person could ever have and I am so lucky I get to do it everyday!

I got to sleep in that day while Than helped Leighton make me this card! Its the best gift and yes I did cry!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's day!

Old man faces!

Both Oliver and Leighton were born with perfect little faces...(not to brag) but they both came so quickly that their tiny little faces didn't get all squashed during delivery. I am biased.... so neither one ever went through that old wrinkly man face period. Well late one night while we were doing dishes Oliver decided to start making the funniest old man faces! I was laughing so hard he was bouncing in the ergo it was too funny. I wanted to put so many pictures up but couldn't all his different expressions were adorable and hilarious! This was the first time we were able to get pictures of him with his eyes open and alert without screaming like a banshee!

I picked the best few and here they are....

The blank stare...

The Hi Dad. cute face!

The mom stop laughing b/c you are going to shake me outta this carrier grumpy face!

The Zone out wow thats my mommy person she is warm and takes care of me face...

All of these faces show how much brighter his hair is getting and how super crazy it looks right after a bath.

MORE FUN ON THE STRAWBERRY FARM

Leighton was a natural strawberry picker, he did not discriminate he picked every berry ripe or not. He ate half of what he picked stem and all and I felt guilty until I saw that the little goats had wandered into the patch and were helping themselves also. If the little goats could do some grazing i guess Leighton could too!

These goats were the cutest thing they were Norweign dwarf goats and I would love them as a pet if we had the space! I liked them even more than Leighton did! They were only a little bit bigger than Boudreaux! I wanted to take one home so bad...maybe someday!

Leighton was very kind and shared a strawberry with his new goat pal!

This picture is so cute...what wasn't was the mud puddle at the bottom of the slide that Leighton ended up in! The car ride home was a diaper only ride!
