The Spiderman

We have been talking Oliver swimming a lot lately at Nana and Papa's house. He is getting braver and braver and making the rest of us nervous as he gets more comfortable with the water. Michael and Bill taught him how to do the spiderman the other day and so here it is.

A bath for Wesley and a new toy for Oliver!

Thanks to Mima and Papa G Oliver has a place to jump. Lately he has been obsessed with jumping and jumps anywhere he can including his crib, the couch, our living room chairs. It was time for a jumping pit!



We gave Wesley his first bath the other night. There was quite an audience as you can probably hear! I think he probably was glad to have his big brother in bed and have some attention on him for a little bit!

At home with the boys!

  I know I am in a lot of trouble from all of my Canadian relatives considering I haven't posted anything and Wesley is two weeks old.  However finding a moment where I am not needed or wanted by one of the boys has proved to be somewhat challenging!  So here are a few shots we have taken of the two of them together.  The top picture was taken  a week and a half ago when Michael took Oliver to his first Diamond Backs game.  Yes, I realize it looks like they are going to Fenway but that's the baseball gear we have!  

  Life has been good with the two.  Wesley is an amazingly laid back dude and for that we are all thankful.  He sleeps three to four hours at night in a row (thank you Lord).  Something Oliver didn't do for until he was much older than two weeks.  So overall we don't feel too sleep deprived which is good because keeping up with Oliver is always a challenge.  We took them both to the doctor the other day and Wesley is back to his birth weight (8 lbs 2 oz.)  And Oliver weighs 22 lbs.  Which now puts him in the 7th percentile for weight.  Some progress from 3rd percentile but the kid is still skinny.  

  I am, as always, thankful for my husband who has been at home and been a huge help and to my family for all of their support!  We are having fun and you can expect to see some newborn pics soon.  Auntie Steph is coming over sometime this week!  

More Swimming

Here is another video of Oliver swimming. He is getting braver!

Oliver Swimming

Oliver started swim lessons a few weeks ago. At first he really wasn't so sure about the whole thing. So we have been trying to take him swimming as much as we can. This past Saturday we went to Nana's and Grandpa's house to go swimming. He did really well as you can see from this video. He wanted to jump in as much as possible. I will try and post another video where you will see he got braver and started jumping in from the side of the pool. You will also hear him say his favorite word, "No." He loves to say this to pretty much everything right now. And you will also see just how pregnant I really am. Urg. Only 4 more weeks. I can do it. At least that is what I tell myself!

The Body Parts

Here is Oliver pointing out all or most of his body parts! We aren't sure how he learned all of this except maybe from sesame street which we have been watching A LOT lately.

Outside Fun!

Oliver had some fun this weekend playing outside in his car with the hose!
