My Little Angel
I miss when Ollie was more easily photographed. He moves too much and too quickly now, so you are left with a lot of Scarlett pictures. :]

CHEESE!
I taught Oliver to say cheese before pictures. Now if he's in the mood, its really hard to stop taking pictures. He'll keep saying cheese and posing. If I turn the camera off he'll whine and start saying 'more'. Haha.
I was debating whether or not to post this picture because it is so bad its hilarious. Haha. This is a close up of him saying Cheese!

Test Driving
Now that the Babies R Us opened its new joint store with Toys R Us in Southcenter, we're in trouble everytime we go to pick up anything baby related.
Oliver found the Power Wheels... This might be an appropriate Christmas gift come 2011, especially if we have that house we really want, with all the extra space we're in dire need of...

Painting for Grandma
November 2nd was Babcia's birthday so the kiddos did some painting.
Okay it was mostly Oliver. Haha. Scarlett did contribute her foot print as did Oliver after he did his initial painting. I wish I had a photo of the final painting to show but its on my mom's camera. I will post it once its downloaded because it's SUPER cute.
Ollie had fun though. :]

Pretty Lady
George's work bought us a bunch of stuff including this ridiculous onsie that George is in love with. Haha. I think it's kinda cute too.
She's starting to keep her eyes open long enough to take pictures. Yay! Sleeping pictures get boring after awhile.

Whole Sentences??
Oliver said to me yesterday: "There's a ball outside."
I didn't believe it and thought I was just filling in the blanks but I checked with George. He heard the same thing as me! And he kept saying it until we got up and saw the ball that was outside. ;]
He also faux counted. Hahaha. Funniest thing to hear in the world. I told him to jump off of his bike so I can take a picture and he started 'counting'. The one and two was iffy to understand but the he said 'free' for three and he'd jump. He kept doing in over and over. So silly.

Sleep
We're definitely getting a lot. I'm so blessed right now to have a baby that likes to sleep at night.
She averages 4-5 hour blocks and has pulled a 6 hour stretch!! Unfortunately for me I have to get up more often to pump. Gotta have milk once I go to work!
She also very rarely cries. She likes to wimper and whine more than anything. Only if I've neglected her for too long will she flat out cry. Just so you know I'm not a horrible parent...I've gotta juggle Oliver too, so sometimes Miss Scarlett gets impatient. But again, very rarely does she get that impatient. I like her. :]
Oliver started sleeping 8-10+ hours at 4 weeks. I don't knoe if we'll luck out that early with Scarlett, but she's definitely on her way.

Halloween 2010
Scarlett was a Bee!
Oliver was a Fireman on Sunday...
..and a Vampire on Friday at the Museum of Fright.
Here's Oliver trick or treating. He can say 'trick or treat' then 'thank you' and he even attempted 'Happy Halloween'! So cute.

Blast From the Past
Here's Ollie at 7 months in Grandma's bassinet:
Here he is revisiting the past well over a year later. Haha.
This last all of 2 seconds, but I got a picture!!!!

Pumpkin Patch
We finally made it to one!!! The weather has sucked every weekend this month and Scarlett happened to want to come out the one beautiful weekend in October. Luckily it was beautiful yesterday so we quickly went to the closest patch!!!
Pooped
We had a VERY busy day yesterday. Even though it was about 9:30 pm when we got home, he still felt the need to put on his sunglasses. Needless to say they were on backwards and he fell asleep. Haha. He is so entertaining.
Checking in on Sissy
Ollie likes to peek in on Scarlett and say 'Hi' or 'Good Morning'.
He also calls her Sissy since he can't pronounce Scarlett yet. :]

Gemma
These 2 don't get to see each other very often. I still can't believe how big she is after nannying her when she was a wee little thing. She's gonna be a big sister too so congrats to her fabulous mommy and daddy! I cannot believe all of these itty bitty babies are becoming huuuuge.
Scarlett's First Friend
This is Collin Jr. He's almost 3 weeks older and look at them holding hands already!!
A Kiss
Yeah, Oliver is warming up to Scarlett! This was taken last week. Oliver's gone through quite the whirlwind of behaviors.
He was very standoffish the first few days. Then he started touching her and petting her. Then he went through a few days where he completely avoided and ignored me and only wanted Daddy. He would cry over everything and hit and scratch and scream. Even his daycare commented on how much he had changed after Scarlett was born. I cried every day partly because I felt bad that I was losing patience with him and partly because you could tell in his eyes how lost he was. He didn't deserve me yelling at him or getting angry with him. His whole world had been turned upside down and he was being forced to accept it. I can't imagine how weird that must be for a not even 2 year old. I have to remind myself everyday that he really is still a baby himself.
"He's not even 2..."
I whisper that phrase to myself now anytime he acts up. It grounds me and forces me to realize that I cannot expect him to be 10, he's not even 2!
I'm proud to say though, that he has been so good all week! No tantrums or excessive crying. Thank goodness. He even kissed her foot today. Small steps people, small steps!

My Squishy
Here are some random Scarlett pictures. I love taking pictures of little babies!
This amuses me bc she loves to stick her hands out like this when she sleeps sometimes. Haha.
