Oliver is 5 months!
Almost half a year has gone by since little Oliver has blessed our lives...
(has it really been that long? can we even remember what it was like without him?)
What he's like now...
Oliver giggles almost every time (seriously, just about every time) I put a shirt on him. It makes dressing so much fun!
He has the stinkiest feet. I didn't know babies could have such stinky little feet. But it still doesn't stop me from kissing them... I just love 'em too much!
He is a little roller.
He started blowing raspberries yesterday. It just adds to the slobbery goodness...
He grabs his toes (I think they'll meet his mouth soon, although, with the smell, maybe not ;))
Oh, and notice how his shirt is a little tight? Yep, he's growing perfectly!

VIDEO!
Yesterday, I made my first video with imovie (Ollie rolls) and now, I think I'm addicted! This is what I worked on last night...

Ollie Rolls!
He first rolled, from his back to his stomach, on the 16th. I laid him on the floor and went to the potty. When I cam back, he was on his tummy! I missed his first back to front roll... I turned him back over and encouraged him to do it again. He just looked at me like I was crazy. So, after I picked up Gerrit and Amparo from teacher Janet's, we laid Oliver on the floor and then sat down a few feet away (we were sure to be super quiet). And sure enough, he rolled!! I was able to get him on video today...

Little
Amparo was dressing herself this morning... (pants , shirt, all of it)
I asked, "when did you get so big?"
Amparo replied, "I'm not big, I'm little"
Thanks for the reminder baby girl...

Walking To School
One of my favorite activities is walking with Gerrit to pre-school on beautiful Oregon mornings. We talk about the best stuff. For example: Gerrit today was wondering " Why do some dogs look like "Nikki" and some don't"
