Oliver Meets Paula Deen

Tonight at our local Barnes and Noble. there was a discussion and book signing with Paula Deen and her husband. We didn't get a seat, but happened to be standing right where they came out and she touched Oliver on her way by.
Here they come!
In this picture she is about to catch sight of Oliver.
She broke away from her security guards, and bent over to talk to Oliver. Her husband said, "Oh, a little sweet pea!" We'll never wash his hat again!
We then moved to the back of the crowd, but couldn't really see or hear anything, so we decided to go home.
There she is in the far left window on the second story.

Morning Diaper Change

This morning while I changed Oliver's diaper, he played with Sophie giraffe.





This is a very typical pose of Oliver these days. I think he plays with Sophie several hours everyday.
He toes are usually curled around each other too.

Oliver's Exersaucer!

Last night we went out and bought Oliver an exersaucer/jumper. We don't have a doorway that will fit a Johnny Jump-Up, so we thought this would be a good compromise. We set it up when we got home and he loves it! I think he is a little small, but we put some blankets around him and they work just great.
Despite all the flashy toys surounding him, he wanted to suck on Sophie giraffe.
Watching himself suck on Sophie in the mirror.
His feet don't quite reach the floor, so we propped him up on our IKEA tool box.

A very content Oliver.

Oliver's Baptism

Yesterday was Oliver's baptism. After church we had a picnic lunch in Pasadena with some other families whose babies were also baptized yesterday. I have a video to post also, but we'll see if it works.
