Ollie has tried bananas, sweet potatoes, avocados and now carrots. Carrots seem to be his favorites :D We made 1.5 ice cube trays of them, and the other 1.5 were apples! I figure he's already had applejuice with no reaction, so it's ok to do applesauce/apples. He's had bad gas lately :( My poor boo. He's doing a lot better at night *knock on wood*, going to bed around 9, sleeping til 2ish and then getting up around 6, but going back to bed (most of the time).
I packed up his bouncy seat :( Granted, he never really liked it, but still it's sad. We (ok, I) switched his jumperoo and swing, since he seems to like the jumperoo more. He also really likes his playmat more :) Unfortunatly, he hates the car seat :P
Hmm. Did I mention he was 14lbs14oz at his checkup this month? My boy is getting big!! :(
A viewing into my daily life as a SAHM with a 2 year old boy and waiting the arrival of our newborn baby girl!

Why Olliver is the smartest baby ever:
He stood up, just holding onto the side of his crib the other day! I had pulled him up to a standing position, put his hands on it and he stood!! It was so cute!!
He was laying on his changing table the other day and babbling away. I asked who he was talking to and he said "oggg". I looked to where he was looking and yep, a stuffed dog was up there!
Yesterday I asked him where Daddy was and he looked at Doug. I said "Where's mommy?" He looked at me. I asked where Olliver was and he just kinda stared.
The past few nights he's slept solely (sp?) in his cosleeper! He's gotten up 1-2 times a night, but then will go back down in the sleeper, instead of our bed! He's woken up and been happy - babbling and playing with his hands and feet. It's so cute to see him happy and playing first thing when I wake up!

Ollie is now 14lb 4 oz and 24 5/8 inches long :D
We started him on rice cereal the other night... he hated it. We tried for 3 or 4 nights and then switched to oatmeal, which he likes! He gets an early dinner - around 530 now. I'm debating adding a scoop of bananas to it - which Beth said was like baby crack bc Brandon loved them so much. LOL
Oh, he also really likes ukelele music.I found a Hawiian singer he likes... Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole. I love his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World.

I have barely a minute to type this all out:
Last night, I was in the shower and I hear a THUD. Oh crap, right? I yell for Doug, no answer, I run out, he's holding his wrist in the kitchen, he had fallen over the baby gate. I do Ollie's bath (of which, of course, we ran out of hot water because I had left the water running when I went out to check on Doug), Ollie's screaming bloody murder, Doug's in pain, so I wrap Ollie up, dry him off, bundle him in a fleece sleeper, get Doug dressed and off we go.
We sit, we show off the baby (I work in the ER, so everyone wanted to see him in all his sleepy cuteness), Doug gets x-rays, we sit, we wait. Doc comes back in and says he thinks there's a slight fracture of his radial head (the top of the radius where it meets at the elbow), and a shady spot of his humeral head at the (correct me if I'm wrong) epicondyl head. The xrays were a little shady because of the swelling, but Doc said that because of the swelling of the fat pad and there's a shadow that looks like bone on the xray, added in to the pain and swelling he had, it's more than likely a fracture. Soooo, Doug is in a splinty thing from his wrist to.. yep, his shoulder. We have to make an appointment with an orthopedist to get more xrays done and to see if he needs a cast or whatnot. Yaaaay.
So he's off of work until Friday and I'm, obviously off today. I'm probably going to have to call in to work Wednesday, because Doug can't watch Ollie with only one arm and I don't want them out anywhere til 11:15ish (I want Ollie in bed by 9-9:30, if I can help it!). Arrrgggg.
The good thing is Ollie-man slept through the whole visit. He woke up about 10 minutes after we got home, wanting to eat....that was around 2 and he hadn't eaten since 7pm!! Why can't we adjust those hours to make it more like 12am-6am? :P
Oh! And all this is after we got Doug's car inspected and the mechanic told us we had to get his tire rod (tie ron? I'm not a mechanic :P) fixed.. We drive it to Page to take itto Dad's mechaninc and guess what? That tire tie roddy ron thing is fiiiine. Yay for that :P We almost spent $250 in uneccessary mechanic work...arrrggggg.

Birthday-ness
So yesterday, Beth and I had lunch at TGIFridays. We got the mac & cheese that was on the Ultimate Recipe Showdown. Ohhh it was soooo good. We also went to Target where Beth got me the Fray CD! Woo! We ordered pizzas from Ledos (the second best pizza - Uno's is the first ultimate best, still!) to bring home. Came home, Doug was already home and we ate our pizza and played on the Wii Fit (ok, Doug played, I watched and held the O-ster).
Oh, something about Target and me holding Ollie makes him spit up all over me. Boo!! Both times I was at Target yesterday he spat upon me :P
Today, Doug and I had assorted mouth-al appointments (He dentist, myself Orthodontist). After, we had a quick meal at Cracker Barrell (Boo on no bread pudding!!! :( ). Tonie came over after work and we were going to eat at Purple Foot, but they stop serving at 2 (who knew!?) but she bought me my present - MY LEMON CAKE!!!!!! Wooooooooo!!!! We also went to Walmart where I entered a pic of Ollie in the cutest baby contest (hehe, I think he should win, hands down, but we'll see. I did enter late.. oh well).
My mouth hurts :(
Oh! I forgot last time - the other day Doug and I went to WalMart and Ollie was fussy, so I was just carrying him around. I got tired at one point, put Dougs coat on one side of the seat n the cart, mine on the other side and his blankie behind him and he was sitting up in the cart!! I couldn't believe it! It was so incredibly cute, but then again, what that he does isn't? :P I've started writing a journal for him for later, just telling him about everytihng he's done and stuff :)
