That's right. There have been several sightings of a large, hairy creature frightening the dogs of 14025 Ashton Woods Circle. There have been repeated allegations of a "Godzilla act alike" climbing the towers (crib) and taking several hostages (pacifiers/stuffed animals) with him. And folks, this Godzilla seems to have no remorse. He hikes his victims (pacifiers) down from the towers (crib), lets out a horrifying roar (coo's) and shoots fire (spit) at his victims. This story is under investigation by authorities (Adam and Brooke) and we will hopefully have a positive ending to this breaking news update as soon as we can (18 years from now).
......Ok, I had my fun, now on with the news. Oliver had his 9 month check-up today (even though he is almost 10 months old). He weighs 30 pounds and is 31 inches long. He is off the charts with height, weight and head circumference....I know everyone is shocked...
The doctor said he doesn't seem to have much stranger anxiety, because most babies his age cry when he picks them up!....Yay!! He also said that he seems to be a very easy going baby....2nd Yay!! Dr. Louis made a comment on Oliver's size, stating that we might have problems buying Oliver clothes for Christmas this year....
Oliver is officially cruising. He is pulling himself up on furniture and taking a few steps to get to toys/dogs out of reach. He is still playing tug-of-war with Sofia. It keeps them both busy for about 5 minutes. Sofia realizes that Oliver has good control of his hands and will soon be capable of petting her. This is why she has already started pawing at his hands.
We had our small group over last night. We were both worried that the LOUD noise would wake him up....We were practically partying down there and he didn't wake up once!!!!!....3rd Yay!!! The other baby from small group was there and Oliver tried to steal his pacifier several times....even when he had one in his own mouth....We'll have to work on that in the future...He has no idea what is going on with the whole sharing thing now...but soon!!!
He is sleeping fantastic. We love our little man. He is so much fun. He loves laughing and playing with mommy and daddy. Peek-A-Boo is still a favorite...and of course, books....He loves to be read to.
That's about it....I've got to get in some packing while he is still asleep!!! We are in the process of clearing clutter and making our house look like it has 2 x as much space as it does! Wish me luck. By the way, we leave Wednesday, so we are up for v chat anytime before then...Probably not Tuesday, as that is the day I am usually running around with my head cut off trying to get everything together!!
Love you all!
Bye

Oliver is making new faces weekly...and new noises for that matter. Ba-Ba-Ba is still the favorite.
He now pulls himself up on his own holding onto furniture...I saw him "cruise" on the furniture the other day...
He loves his books more than before....I went to TJ Max the other day to buy some more, because I am so sick of reading the same ones over and over again...I read to him about 3 times a day. He loves it.
He is losing a little weight. Less chubby, for sure....His face is thinning out, and he looks more and more like a little boy now.
I took him to the doctor today to make sure he didn't have another ear infection, but it turns out it is teething. It is really hard to tell the difference. He gets a temperature, pull his ears, is fussy, doesn't sleep well...etc...All the same symptoms pretty much.
Sasha and Sofia are still his favorite people...That's right, people....because that is what they think they are. He waves at them and drops them food from the highchair. He loves it when he is lucky enough to get a kiss from Sasha. It is his favorite thing.
His laugh is turning into a Ha-Ha, rather than a baby giggle. It is really cute.
"Cheetos" is still his favorite food....(Oliver, when you read this, you were not actually eating Cheetos. That is what Ted and Elyse call them....They are little crunchy Gerber snack. Basically, they are expensive air). He knows what container they come out of, and will "ask" for them. Yogurt melts and cheese are close 2nds. Bananas are right up there, along with yogurt.
That's all for now. Adios.

One more First...
...Forgot this one, but he is now pulling himself up on furniture...Let the fun begin!
More Firsts!
Wow. Well, we have more firsts to report!
1.) Oliver saw snow for the first time today! Did he enjoy it? Was it all that it was cracked up to be? Don't think so. He was more interested in my water bottle, and figuring how to get it into his mouth.
2.) Oliver is getting his "First Year Molars" in. So much for the first year part. Actually, most babies get them around 14 months....Not at our house!
He is definitely in a little pain. It looks like they are both coming in at the same time, but it seems to be his right side that is bothering him a little bit more.
3.) He had a little turkey, cheddar cheese and corn tortilla for lunch with Mommy! I didn't know how well the corn tortilla was going to go over, but it was a hit!
4.) Most importantly, we now have a crawler on our hands. Last night he took his first coordinated steps crawling. He was sooooo excited! He is one proud baby!
Ok guys, got to go break up the flirting session going on right now between Oliver and Sasha...What a flirt!
