Quick weekend update

I have been a busy bee at work today - so I'll post really quickly a short blurb about the weekend.  ** I just noticed after posting this that I used the term "busy bee" a few weeks back!  Note to self:  get a thesaurus**

A quick photo of O and his cousin... and then I'll skip over his little puking incident on Friday... check!

Saturday, O and I met up with my friend Gina for coffee.  I haven't seen her in a long time.  She came sans Byron, so she enjoyed a little adult time (even if Oliver was there).

A few photos from my camera:

Sunday's highlight included me making a delicious breakfast (scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, toast, coffee, and OJ) and also included Tim and I watching movies and playing with Oliver.  It was so blustery out, we did not make it out the entire day.  We watched Social Network, The Kids are All Right (after O fell asleep), and Whip it.  All were wonderful.  I also picked up Requiem for a Dream, which I had seen before, but had a hankering to see it again.  This is one that will be played AFTER Oliver goes to sleep.

That was the weekend in a nutshell - Oliver goes in for his 9 month check-up tomorrow!!  What a big guy!!  I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Per Tim's request...

Dearest Tim requested an update to the blog - so what better to post but a video of Tim and Oliver laughing and playing!

Love these guys so so so much.

Lots of new stuff

First a caveat that Tim and I are, in fact, not insane.  

Oliver has mastered clapping (which so far has not gotten old), and after every time he clapped, we would say, "You did it!" or "I did it!"  And soon, it started to sound like HE was saying it, too.  I know he doesn't know what he is saying, but seriously.  I caught a little bit of it on video (but definitely not the clearest rendition). 

Well?  Did you hear it?  Or are Tim and I like those people, as my mom puts it, "who look for Jesus in burnt toast."  

Okay, yeah, and the clapping thing is just too adorable.  

I also got a much better picture of Oliver's teeth - pay no attention to the acorn squash around his mouth.   

One last new item is that Oliver had his first bit of chicken this weekend (which he thought was delicious).  First protein!  Yep!  He is growing up TOO fast.

Oliver can do it!

Little O said that he can feed himself, thank you very much!

Tim and Oliver visit Mom at work...

I informed my coworkers that a certain little O was going to be making a visit to the Lynnwood office today.  Nothing brightens my day (or my cubie-mates) more than a mid-day visit with Tim and Oliver. 

We went to Jimmy John's for lunch (note to self: they don't have high chairs!).

My neighbor blogged about it... read it here!   

Teeth count: 2

Less than 2 weeks since #1 tooth popped through, tooth #2 made it's debut on Friday!  So far, I have only been able to capture those pearly whites with my camera phone...

He hasn't been grumpy or fussy at all about the whole thing, so seeing another tooth was quite a surprise.  He has turned the drool factor up to the max.  Another cute pic of the little man..

Sunday, it was pretty nice out (especially compared to the windy day we had Saturday), so Tim, O, and I went down to the Ballard Farmer's Market.  Oliver had a lot of things to look at - his favorite was the street musicians.  Even though he is almost 9 months old, he still gets looks and compliments from strangers!  "Oh, what a cute little guy!" 

Lastly, a video of Oliver watching "Wheel of Fortune."  Something about the colors and spinning wheel really catches his attention. 

Work, work, work

Tim and I have been busy bees working, so I have nothing new to report.  Here is a video from the ferry ride to hold you over!  :-)
