Oatmeal

So, we've tried switching the rice in his formula to oatmeal, hoping it would make his little gassy belly better. He's at least pooping more...just ask my Mom...she got pooped on last weekend...ha ha ha...and peed on...ha ha ha...apparently she's not quick enough on the diaper exchange!

Other than that, Oliver's growing and growing everyday! He loves to kick and play and wiggle and smile! I have some pictures that I will have to load off the camera to share. Hopefully I will remember to do that before his first birthday, lol. :)

2 Month Appointment

Oliver's 2 month appointment went very well!

He now weighs 12lbs 9.5oz, and is 23.25 inches long...so a nice growth spurt!!

He did get his first round of immunizations today, and he definitely was not a happy camper!! Jason took him home with a dose of Tylenol, so hopefully that'll keep him happy.

I made it!!!

So, I made it an entire week without falling asleep at my computer...he he he...boy am I looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow....Odie willing of course :)

He has his 2 month appointment on Monday, so I'll update you all then...

I've included a smiling picture of Oliver for your enjoyment! Happy Weekend!!

The Day has come...

So...the day has come and I am typing this note from my office computer...at break time of course :)

It is a bittersweet day...I loved staying home with my child, but I was getting desperately close to becoming the crazy house-wife who doesn't get around and lives in sweatpants...

I have my picture board filled with Odie pics to keep me company though...

6 more days....

So, only 6 more days until I have to go back to work. I am completely excited and completely devastated at the same time...mostly I'm afraid Jason will completely screw up, but I'm sure Oliver will be alive when I get home...lol...

Hip Ultrasound

Oliver had hip ultrasounds done on Monday because he was a breech baby. It was just to make sure his hips formed properly due to his position....so after waiting 45 minutes at Sparrow...which is a miracle but still completely annoying...everything checked out just fine! So now, we go back to the Pediatrician on January 12th for some immunizations and a growth check!

First Christmas

Odie's first Christmas was definitely an eventful one!

First he went to Allendale to Uncle Greg and Aunt Ashlee's new house. He had a wonderful time opening presents and playing with his cousins Alexis and Beckham. Aunt Sara and I are convinced they will be BFFL (Best Friends For Life) except Great Aunt Tracy says boys don't do that...

Then Odie went to Grandma and Grandpa Feazel's house for his very first Christmas Eve...He got some great presents, including his first MSU robe, but spent most of the night snoozing...


Then Finally...Oliver went over to Grandma and Grandpa Garrett's house for Christmas Day! He got wonderful presents and was able to spend some time with his Aunt Saundra and Uncle Adam...not to mention the Amazing Evan!! (Or as he has been called...Even...he he) We can't wait to see what trouble these two will get into next Christmas!!

6 week pictures from Portrait Innovations!

Smile!!

So, I can't get him to do it for the camera...but I got a little smile with my cell phone :)

1 Month Check-up!

So...more like 6 weeks...but anyways...

He weighs 9lbs, 13.5oz and is 21.25 in tall! He sure doesn't feel 2 pounds heavier than last time, but I guess as he grows ounce by ounce I get used to it!

With all his gas and spit-up, the pediatrician recommended that we put rice cereal in his formula to help keep it down. She suspects that Oliver has some reflux.

Other than that, everything went well...no immunizations today...but next time he will have 3 shots...so bring on the Tylenol!!

Also, I can't wait for Oliver's pictures on Monday...I doubt I will get a smile out of him, but I hope he's at least awake and happy!! Who knows...we might not get a single good picture...he he.
