More of the same

We had a pretty unproductive weekend due to this craptastic weather (darn you, fall weather), which even ended with thunder and lightning in the Ballard neighborhood. Saturday Oliver and I went to go visit my Dad while Jana was taking her grandson to a movie. Little man loved the pumpkin lights my Dad had up on the mantle. They looked something like this (but cooler):

Oliver always has a lot of fun at his Grandpa's house. Afterwards, we went home and put together Oliver's new activity mat. On Friday, the part that held the arms together shattered so I stopped by Me and Moms and picked up a "new" one for $10. This one has sounds and lights, however the toys do not hang as high. But for $10, I am not going to complain! Here is Oliver doing tummy time on the new mat:

Yesterday Tim and I and the rest of Seattle (apparently) went to get brunch, and after getting shut down at Portage Bay and Julias, we ended up at Blue Star in Wallingford. Oliver was good the entire time! He was just content to stare at the lights, ceiling fans, paintings, etc... later in the day, Tim took Oliver down to visit with Trav and Al while I stayed home and got some "me" time in. I took advantage of the time by cleaning the fireplace out (whoot whoot) and watching one of the worst movies I've seen in a while, "Dear John." The rest of the day was pretty boring, but we did get some pretty good giggles in at the end of the day:

This was the highlight of the day, as his laughs are so infectious. I love how he anticipates it and starts to squeal before it even happens. Smart baby.
