Mommy Graduated!
I finally did it!
Here are some random pics from the day:
This is his "I don't want to get up" face.
My eyes are closed but this is a nice family pic:
Eating his crunchies at Red Robin:
With Dzia Dzia @ RR:
He loved being in the grass:
He really couldn't be stopped!
I'm very proud of myself, but more importantly I was so happy to be able to show Oliver where I had spent 5 years of my life. I know he doesn't care now, but perhaps one days he'll be a Viking!

Trying To Get A Toddler To Sit.....STILL
I sorta got it the first time...didn't even get close a second time.
Oh Cheerios
Oliver has learned that if he shakes him Snack Trap hard enough, it shall rain Cheerios.....
Bye Bye Gemma
Today was my last day full time nannying for little Gemma. If my camera hadn't of broke I would have taken more pictures today! These are from earlier in the week.
Santa!
Hahahahaha.
We did good. Oliver was a little bit timid and LUCKILY the photographer snapped pictures fast! The last one he took Oliver was at the beginning of his crying face. I rushed to pick him up and he was fine! Whew! I call this a successful picture!

Our Church Photos
These are some of the pictures that were taken for the church directory. They'll include a family shot in the actual directory and the rest of these were just for fun!
By far my FAVORITE. Looks like a baby James Dean. If only he had his hand in his pocket!

Putting Himself to Sleep
Oliver is really growing up. Since I've been nannying he's recently learned to put himself to sleep. There are times when I cannot lay with him and hold his hand to help him take a nap. He's been putting himself to sleep at night for the last 3, maybe 4 months, and I think because of that he knows what works to go to sleep. He'll sit next to me on the couch where I'm either feeding or soothing Gemma and he'll just pass out. SO HELPFUL!
This is where this picture comes in. This is from this morning. I was laying in bed watching T.V. with Oliver playing next to me. He started getting real cuddly. Then all of a sudden he bent forward [what I thought was him just cuddling with the covers] and fell asleep!

Hanging Out
This is Oliver's home away from home. He hides in there, and even brings toys to play with!
The Dump Truck
It still exists and is still used. Very seldom, but enough!
Ever since the running started, walking slowly behind something is not as fun.
The steering wheel does pull out to serve as sort of a wagon. He has put toys in the bed of the truck and dragged it, but only a couple times. Hopefully after the novelty of being bipedal wears off, doing stuff in that position will become the new fad!

Trying So Hard
He wanted to rip that out of the wall so bad.
I'm so glad he responds so well to no!
But he'll sit there and watch it. :]

Cuddle Bug
I love when Oliver is feeling cuddley. :]
He usually does it only when he doesn't feel good or he's jealous. But nonetheless, I love it!

Tooth # 7
Bottom left, right next to his existing middle teeth.
Haven't seen a new bottom tooth since July. Pretty exciting. :]

Blowin' Kisses.
Mommy blows Oliver kisses whenever she's leaving or when he's too far to actually kiss. He's been getting good at putting out his face when you ask for a kiss, but today after Mommy blew a kiss, Oliver put his open hand to his mouth and then took it away and made a waving motion.
Cutest. Thing. Ever.
I'm still super excited about it. :]

Capricorn
The Capricorn-born are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness.
That's no problem, since Capricorns are both ambitious and determined: they will get there.
My son to a T.
I've always been able to see his determination in his eyes. I always joked that the colic was Oliver being pist that he couldn't walk. He seems complete now that he can. I'm waiting for the next thing. Perhaps he'll take potty training on with the same vigor. :]

Our Son's New Diet.
I forgot to mention that in the last week Oliver has gotten his hands on both cat throw up and his own poopy diaper.
Ew.
But I kiss him anyway.

Baby in the Mirror
This mirror is Oliver's favorite. It moves so its even more fun for baby and scary for everyone else. But he likes to check him self out and move the mirror to see his surroundings. He's cute when he's investigating. :]
Silly
He looks like he's on a mission.
Mommy tried out the new camera today. I know it was supposed to be a Xmas gift to ourselves, but the other camera needed charging.
I've noticed there's like a one second delay so some of the shots I get are hilarious. But I can't borrow my parents super nice Cannon forever. That thing is amazing. When you push the button the picture takes then, not a second later!

Desitin
Good thing he's holding on to it, he needs it.
Way too much poop, not enough baby.
Solid foods have been interesting...coming out.

Focus All Attention Here
What that shirt commands, we follow. :]
He moves so much this was literally the best shot...

11 MONTHS
One more month to go until I have a one year old.
Somehow I have to fit Christmas and New Years in there!

Kiddie Kandids
Okay, so the day before Thanksgiving I was at Babies R Us. Again I got free pictures done of Oliver. I was just walking around aimlessly and a lady offered to take some pics and I'd walk away with one free one no matter what. I was very excited bc I love any opportunity to get Oliver photographed!
OF COURSE Oliver had drool EVERYWHERE. Ha. He refuses to wear bibs now and rips them off, so there was nothing I could do. But we went forth with the picture taking.
Here are some of the pics. :]
The standing up one is by far our favorite. He looks like such a BIG boy. Proud Momma!

Peek A Boo
Oliver's favorite game EVER! He was playing it with me today and I just had to post. He's such a smart little boy. He'll cover his little eyes with anything in reach then uncover them. I can't get a bigger laugh any other way.
