Yeah I'm in a box...

And I love it!

baseball dreams...

Doesn't he look like he's really thinking about being a baseball star? My dad got him this outfit a while ago but he just barely fits into it. It's an 18 month one though, so I'm glad I tried it on him sooner. He looked so cute!

I need a hobby...

I have a few spare minutes while Oliver is napping. Instead of doing the laundry or watching a movie or something fun I'm here...seeing what y'all have been doing.

Oliver was cranky yesterday. I'm not sure why. His head felt warm to me, but when I took his temperature he was normal. Still, he didn't want to play he just wanted to snuggle. He took a long nap in the morning and another in the afternoon.

Bob got home early yesterday so he went and picked up our new futon/sofa thing. We got it all set up in the playroom, although I'm not sure where it's going to end up. It's going to stay in there, but I think I want to move it to the back wall. The room is kind of long and narrow and right now it's on the long wall. Bob also put the entertainment center from the living room in there but it is definately not staying there. In fact, I think we're going to get rid of it. It's just too big for any room in our house!

I don't think I mentioned it before but we got a flat tire again! This time on the Tribute, and it was not able to be repaired. Luckily we had the road hazard warranty on the tires, but even still. This is the 3rd flat we've gotten this year...and all from the same place! Thank you very much Rooms To Go! Anyway, Bob went and talked to the manager and he agreed to pay us the $10 that we had to pay to get the tire replaced. Then after I turned in the receipt he didn't talk to me for 2 days. It made going to work quite uncomfortable!

another contest!

Here is another fabulous contest! It's for a Solarveil ring sling...your choice of color and rings! Sounds good, right? Well go and enter! Also check out KimzKreations so that if you don't win you can still get one. There are lots of different patterns and colors, they are all so pretty!

Helping with laundry

how do your flowers grow?

These are the first flowers I've gotten from the wildflower seeds I planted. They are very pretty! There are lots of other plants, but these are the only flowers so far. I also planted some daisies but the squirrells and chipmunks or something keep eating them.
These are some flowers that came up from some plants that were here when we moved it. We were going to get rid of them but now I think I'll just move them somewhere else because the flowers are so pretty!

Our visit to the park...

We had a few minutes before I had to be to work so we went to this little park that is down the street from the store. Oliver got to try out a swing for the first time. He seemed to like it pretty well but the swing was really big. He kept falling back and forth with each swing. We didn't keep him in it very long, but maybe we'll go back again soon. I took this picture and several more like it when he was swinging forward.
Here he is just after he got in the swing. Daddy pushed him for a bit while I took pictures.
We also went down the slide. I was a little nervous about dropping him when we hit the bottom but everything turned out ok. He didn't seem to care too much for the slide. Maybe he'll grow into it. This time he was just not impressed.
We sat in the grass a little bit, too. Oliver didn't seem too happy about the pokey grass at first, but he started grabbing it and pulling it up after a minute or two. He also picked a little flower and I let him hold it until he tried to eat it. Awwww, what a sweet baby!

Howdy, Y'all!

The following are the pictures we ordered from Olan Mills. They turned out great!

flirty boy...

at the river...

How adorable is this boy?

awww, poor little face!

Oliver was playing around and he fell and hit his eye on the exersaucer. Poor little guy! It swelled up a little and turned red. I tried putting Mr. Bump on it but he didn't like the cold. Other than the big red bump on his eye it didn't seem to do much. He's just as playful as ever. Isn't this a cute face?

new purchase...

We just got this for the playroom. The color totally doesn't match but we are going to get a cover for it anyway so it didn't really matter. Once we convert the playroom back into a dining room when we get our table it will go somewhere else so the color is more versatile than the blue one we were going to get originally.

Hey that looks just like Oliver from behind!

(Only a few people will get this...hahaha, Mom!)

getting up...

Here is the process of Oliver pulling up onto his table.

sweet smiles

Oliver is such a happy baby! Here are a few adorable smiles...

he's gone belly up!

The same day that he said "I did it" he also started crawling with his belly off the floor. Here are a few shots of him in action. He caught on really quickly, even crawling with something in one hand or grabbing things while in the crawling position.

The picture every kid loves...

Hey stop taking my picture, Mom!
