Steady 25

Well, I did weigh him the other day, and he is still 25 pounds. Maybe he is leveling off....probably a good thing for him and my back.

I took in some "samples" to the lab yesterday, so we should find out early next week if he is finished with the salmonella. More than likely, he is finished with it, but the tests are just there to double-check.

Oliver and I went to the Domain (outdoor mall) today to walk around and get out of the house. It was like "mommy's day out" times a million!! There had to be 30 or so strollers walking around. I think we all had the same idea. The Domain = coffee + excercise + free entertainment for baby and mom.

Oliver has been sleeping great for the past month or so. He usually falls asleep anywhere from 8 to 9 and sleeps in until 7-8 a.m. His nap schedule usually consists of a half hour in the morning and a two hour nap in the late afternoon. Yay! I never thought I'd be having this conversation. When your child doesn't sleep well, you think it is your parenting, but the truth is, it just takes some time. But they sure make a lot of money off baby sleep books!

Oliver is creeping around on the floor. If there is something he wants, he'll find out a way to get it. No crawling yet, just scooting. I'm still waiting for that belly to get off the floor.

The dogs are doing well. I wish I could give them more attention. Oliver grabbed Sasha with BOTH HANDS and dragged her across the couch...poor pups! Sofia stays clear of him. Sasha is learning.

David Allison is in town for Austin City Limits! We might try to meet him for breakfast or lunch. Adam got a weekend pass, so he'll get to spend some time with David while he is in town. Pearl Jam is playing on Sunday!

Oliver is getting close to the age where he can start eating finger foods. I'm so excited for stage! he grabs the spoon a lot while I feed him, but it is usually just to gum the spoon and make a mess. Right now, he is eating cereal and fruit in the morning and veggies, fruit and a little meat at night. He is taking 4/5 feedings of milk in between. Although, right now he is refusing to drink a lot, because it hurts his teeth to suck when he is teething. He must have some more on the way!

Got to go clean those bottles!

Adios.
