The new furniture is here!!

Here's the sofa!!

loveseat...

The loveseat and side view of the end table

end table top...

We also got a cocktail table, but it was broken so we have to get another one. Everything looks VERY nice in our living room. The orange in the accent pillows matches the color on the wall almost exactly. I can't wait to get some accessories to put on the tables!!

third try...

Here are the new outfits we got for Oliver today. Don't worry, we didn't spend that much. He's going to look adorable!! We have to take the dinosaur one back because the zipper doesn't work. The rest of them are in the wash now so that he can wear them soon! I can't wait!!

what a cutie!

Even with a slobbery chin he sure is cute!

Bouncy Chair makes a comeback...

Oliver hasn't really been interested in the bouncy chair for a few months now. He got bored with it, the same music, the same lights...but then the other day I put him in it while I was finishing some housework and this is what he looked like! He loved it! I guess he just needed a break from it.

roly poly boy!!

what a DOLL!!

Doesn't he look like a doll???

sitting up...

Oliver can sit up all by himself! Ok, so he's leaning against the back of the sofa, but he didn't fall over to the side like he usually does. He sat up and played with different toys for about 15 minutes or so before he got too tired and fell over. He's getting very good at keeping his balance. In this picture you can see his NECK!!! It's amazing!!

He rolled over for the 3rd time today. He worked really hard at it but he finally got over. I think he's getting the hang of it. He also had some more peas. I mixed them with cereal this time so he seemed to like them a little bit better.

mmmmmm...peas!!

He might not have thought so actually. Here's the first bite - he looks a little scared.

This was after the first bite when I was getting the second bite ready. He couldn't really figure it out...
This isn't the same as my usual bites, Mom!!

It was an interesting but messy experience.
He only ate a few bites of the peas, but managed to get them all over his face.

Well, it was a new flavor and texture. What did we really expect?

There is a reason he got to try peas a week before his 6 month birthday even though the dr told us to wait until he's six months old. When I was getting him ready for his dinnertime cereal I snapped the tray on the high chair and his finger somehow got caught. He started crying right away and I unsnapped it really fast, but his little finger swelled up and he wouldn't stop crying. We put some ice on it and gave him a little bit of Tylenol. He went to sleep about 10 minutes later but we felt so bad for the little guy that we got him the peas as a treat. So his second "major" accident was caused by me, just like the first one. :-(

some pics of the boy...

This only happened after MUCH rocking and walking and bouncing. He was so tired, but he doesn't like to just go to sleep anymore. He fights it with all his strength until he finally can't help himself. Poor little guy.













Here he is making an adorable face while playing in the exersaucer. He's really started liking it a lot. Pretty soon that pillow that's under his feet will be gone. He's getting so tall that he'll be able to reach the floor of it. He's such a big boy!!



If this isn't a sweet looking boy then I don't know what is! Check out that grin. What a cute pose, too.
