Look ma, no hands!

We witnessed the moment he realized he could sit up on his own - he caught his balance, got real wide-eyed, and squealed with excitement! The camera wasn't around at the time, but this video was the next day. He's been practicing his coordination a lot and is even better at sitting now. Maybe even trustworthy not to fall backwards and conk his head! (Olympics 2012, here we come!)


The month of eating




We have an expert eater on our hands. Too bad we're so terrible at shoveling it in!

Hurry and play before he makes me take it down!

First swimming lesson


Daddy's appendectomy

What blog would be complete without documenting emergency visits to the hospital? You can see Daddy here, post-op and looking pretty good after a dose of oxycontin! Fortunately, Dad's surgeon was well-practiced -- his was 1 of 15 appendectomies this night. Home the next day and back to house projects shortly after!


Loving our new deck!


Did we say THANK YOU to Grandma and Grandpa and Gram and Poots for helping us with deck and kitchen projects?!?

THANK YOU!

I love Grandparents and Great-Grandparents!




Oliver had some candid shots while visiting with Grandma, Grandpa, and Gram and Poots one weekend in July. He really enjoyed watching Papa, Grandpapa, and Pootsy build him a new deck from the ground up...even if he didn't show it for Grandpa Carlson! He and his parents are all very thankful for the help. They are spending every evening and weekend hour together on their lovely deck. The dogs too!
