Ok I lied
So I can't keep the blog up to save my life! My little man is a year old!!! Where has the time gone? It is October and I haven't updated since July! Sad, just sad!Here is Ollie enjoying his cake at his party! What a fantastic day!
OK Again, Such The Slacker!
Well a little has happened since the last post :) He has since rolled A LOT, sits well on his own, stands with help, is just starting to crawl, tries to razzberry though it comes out more like BOOOOOOOOOO, he strums his lips, waves with his arm and also his fingers...he loves to say bye to the washer and dryer every morning, he says dada, mama, nana and dudu (turtle), he eats semi-non-pureed foods, and he has 6 teeth! I'm sure I'm missing a few things. As far as stats go, he's pretty much wearing 24 mo-2T...at his 9 mo apt on Monday his weight was (drum roll) 26 lb 5.4 oz!!! He's a whopping 31.5 inches long...as the doc said "he's off the charts". Definitely not failure to thrive, infact he bigger than 90% of 1 yr olds and 50% of 18 mo olds! BIG BOY!!!!
At the end of June we flew to CA for vacation...what a great traveler he was! We also went to see Thomas the Tank Engine in July and he had a great day despite it being hotter than hell! Wow 3 months of catch up and I'm sure I'm missing a lot!
Big changes for mommy, too. Today was my last day at Dartmouth as I grew sick of the constantly changing schedule, TONS of evening shifts which required the help of Nana and losing a ton of money on daycare not used! I start on Monday with the other hospital here in town! Much smaller (in fact it is a max 25 bed capacity!), only 3 pharmacists and they don't work past 5pm! I will be working 4 - 10 hr days which will be rough with daycare not very near us plus she's moving further out, but it will be wonderful to have an extra day a week with him! I sure hope I'm not totally wiped for those days that I don't want to do anything! But every 3rd week I will have a 3 day weekend, and every 3rd weekend I will have to work but they are usually only there for 3 hrs a day! Not bad working 9-12 as it still gives me a weekend! It will be somewhat of an adjustment to make but I'm happy to make it!
So here are some pics from the last few months!!!
He Rolled!!!
On Saturday, May 1 Oliver finally rolled over! Back to front. We were at my parents and I was watching him play on the floor. Doing his usual stretching up and over his shoulder for toys he just looked like he was getting closer, then all of a sudden...poof he was over! Of course once we got there, we weren't happy...LORDY does this kid hate being on his tummy! May be my only saving grace on keeping him on his back at night hehe. He has talent...he can go both to the left AND right...not yet front to back though, oh well haha.Here are some pics from his 2nd roll over (since I missed the 1st with the camera)!
Ok well at least it has been less than a month haha
We've had Easter and we've had our 6 month apt! My little man is getting so big so fast!!! At his appointment he wieghed 21 lb 12.6oz and was 29 inches long! That is beyond the 97% percentile! BIG BOY! Maybe that is why he's wearing 2T jammies tonight to bed! We had a bit of a shopping spree recently to get 18 and 24 month clothes for the summer. We had quite a few 9 and 12 month things...unfortunately unless today's 90 degree weather is here to stay (MAN I hope not!) the 9 month things are pretty much out of here and most of the 12 months! Sure there are some brands that run big so we weren't completely destitute haha. He's gonna be taller than me by next week at this rate! Hopefully these clothes are big enought to get him through the summer...at least our trip to CA please!!!!
Here are some pics, of course there is a new photo site I've started putting A LOT more pics on. It is on Shutterfly...you can find it here http://stephandollie.shutterfly.com password is turtle (of course!)
