First trip to the zoo

Oliver had a great tour guide to show him the zoo... Maggie took him to the lions, snakes, bears and of course, Bert the hippo. Maggie loved sharing her zoo with him, Oliver slept the entire time.

Rough day, great night

After two weeks of great sleeping, about four hour stretches at night, and very little crying, Oliver had a rough day because of some diaper rash.  We switched wipes... which seems to have been the cause. But little guy would scream every time he went to the bathroom, which not only ended the no crying streak but also meant he spent most of the day awake. He finally fell asleep at 10 pm and woke up at 4 am to eat...6 hours later!!! Not only did he sleep for so long but his rash was much better when he woke up.  Maggie was also not feeling well and slept for about 13 hours!!

Presidents day

After running some errands, we spent nap time in bed with Maggie snuggling ... Oliver wouldn't go to sleep because he was watching her :-)

Bath time

Mom is pretty proud of the fact that Maggie can take a bath in the tub, fairly independently, while Oliver takes his bath in the bathroom next to Maggie. He likes his baths, especially getting his face washed. Mom still hasn't figured out how to not get peed on.

First hike

On a warm 65 degree day in Denver, we went out to the arsenal fire a hike. Oliver slept thru most of it, the only time he stirred was the first time he felt wind...

Happy Valentine's day

My little valentines :-)

First photo shoot

Nana took some pictures of Oliver to use for his birth announcement. He did great getting posed and being in his diaper.

We call this face, Blue Steel

Maggie's mustache

First movie :)

Yep, we took a 12 day old baby to a movie... Maggie had early release so we went to see Nut Job at the theater.  We were the only people in the entire theater. Oliver slept the whole time until the credits came on. 

First outing

Nana and mommy took Oliver to breakfast at Snooze and then to Target, where we got to see aunt Emily at work.

Creating birthday cards :)

Sleeping with daddy...

I took this same picture in 2008 with Maggie... they look so much alike

Fun times at home

Getting used to being at home, Oliver has made himself comfortable.  He's a great eater and he sleeps well...four hours at a time during the night!!

Love

Oliver at the hospital

Oliver had lots of fun in the hospital... lots of clothing changes...mingi, grandpa lew, nana, grandpa Ron, aunt Emily, ack, rah, Juan, Nikki and friend Emily all spent time with him... and lots of snuggles and kisses!

Naming the baby

For two days, the baby had no name. Mom and dad tried calling him Samuel, Quinn, Kieran and Oliver but we couldn't decide... so we had Maggie chose his name and write it on the board to tell us... so Oliver Francis it is.

Maggie and Oliver meet

In the recovery room Maggie finally got to meet her brother after waiting for months!

Baby boy Grant

Baby boy was born at 9:15 on January 31st. He was 8 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. He had a round head and pink skin right away, guess that's what a c section will do. He stopped crying as soon as daddy was holding him.
