So It’s Supposed to Be About Oliver
… and really it is. But when I posted yesterday about the dishwasher where we used to wash Oliver’s dishes in order to save time to spend with Oliver (see, it is about him!) and how you never know, little did I think it would be a theme. Last night the microwave got added to …
You Never Know
You never know how much you really appreciate something until it’s gone. In this case, what is gone is our old portable dishwasher. Actually it is still in the kitchen providing an extra few square feet of counter space, but that is it the only capacity in which it functions right now. About the same …
Sock and Awe
… when parents stage a campaign for dressed babies by staging a two pronged attack of socks and shirt at the same time. Done!
Baby Dance Party
Ever since Oliver started being upwardly mobile we’ve engaged in a tradition we like to call “Baby Dance Party.” Oliver likes to boogey baby-style to a variety of music.

…Over spilt milk. But at 6 in the morning when you dump 4 ounces that you just pumped on the floor and realize there is NO MILK LEFT in the freezer, you definitely want to cry. Just sayin’
First Steps!
3 little steps today! We missed them, as they happened at playgroup, but I’m sure there will be plenty more to come soon. Photo/video documentation as soon as we have it.
Two Weeks Ago
We spent our holiday break traveling amongst friends and family. All-in-all Oliver did well with the flexible schedule. In fact, even with all the running around his sleep seems to be getting back on track after a month of frequent wake ups. Yay! We have come a long way in the last two weeks. Our …
