Lovin' that globe! - September 27th
My Aunt Diane and cousin Tisha gave us a globe for Oliver when he was born. It is really neat, it plays music and has a rocking horse inside. Also it has Oliver's name etc. engraved on it. We decided to give it to Oliver and see what he thought. :)

The beginning of Oliver's crawling!

And heeeeee's off!

Yup, Oliver is officially crawling. He has been working up to it for about 2 months or so but didn't really get to moving forward in a crawl position until last week. In September I took a photo of him getting in the crawl position but he would go about half a crawl (step ?/!) and then flop on his tummy and scoot forward to get whatever toy he was reaching for. He has loved standing on his own for a while, and the last few days he has pulled himself up from a crawl to a standing position while holding on to the couch etc a few times. Maybe he will be one of those babies that walks not to much time after he crawls, time will tell. As for Mom and Dad, gone are the days were we could leave him somewhere and expect him to still be there 5 minutes later. sigh... :)
Here is a few photos of when he first started crawling. I will try to get a video of his now expert crawling skills.

Goofy Grandma - September 18th

Here is a video of Grandma and Oliver having fun!

Enjoying the new toys!

It isn't fun unless you get it all over the place.

Soooo do you think he liked the icecream?

Kaleb's 1st B-Day Party - September 20th
Ryan and Alicia had a birthday party for Kaleb. They grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and had a jumping castle for the kids. They had friends and family over for the party. Alicia's sister was there and Karlan, Kara, Nicole, Aaron and Zayden etc. Oliver was a bit young for the jumping castle but he enjoyed watching the fish in the fish tank, and he even tried icecream. Zayden helped out with the presents - he is expert since he already had a birthday party! :)

Weekend Tucson Trip - 9.13.08

We hadn't been to Tucson for over a month so we decided to go again this weekend. This time we visited with some of our friends.
Friday night after work we drove down to Tucson. We stopped in at Jacob and Barbara's house. They now live close to my parents and we hadn't seen their new house yet.
Saturday - some girls (Taylor/?) that my Mom used to babysit were playing in soccer games at a park, so we went to see the girls. Also these girls' Mom (Megan) was my Tennis coach in high school. The girls loved Oliver and he didn't mind being passed from girl to girl.

On Sunday evening we went over to Melanie and Court's house. They had a bunch of people over for supper. Jeff & Stephanie, Donna & Jason, Doug & Melissa were all there, with all the kids of course. Also Jessica (my former roommate) was in town, so she was there also. I got to meet her daughter, Aunna for the first time. She is very adorable.

Just Hanging out at Home

September 2nd - 7th

Here are some photos of us hanging out at the house. Oliver is at the age were he is curious about everything. I love it, it is always fun watching his reaction to different things. He definitely keeps us amused!
