Our Baby is 1!

On June 24, Oliver turned 1! It is so crazy that I have a 1yr old yet it seems like I have known him forever :) Our baby is turning into a little boy. A couple weeks before his birthday he started standing up on his own without holding on to anything and then a couple days before his birthday he started taking his first couple of steps. And now, a couple of weeks after his birthday, he is walking really well on his own but still crawls sometimes. He is signing "more" and "all done" very well and is getting very good at letting us know what he wants. He still only has two bottom teeth and is now only nursing once a day. He won't drink his whole milk very well so we are trying to get it to him in food forms :) He loves to watch Baby Einstein...

play with Mommy...
and is doing really well (most of the time) at putting himself to sleep and is sleeping really well through the night...

He loves taking baths but only gets to at Jake's house because our bathroom is still being remodeled...
On his birthday I had a MOPS meeting but afterwards we headed to the pool to play with his cousins...




We have been enjoying the pool a lot. Most days he is pretty good but sometimes after about an hour he starts getting fussy and tired.
Anyways, after the pool we headed up to my dad and mom's to start decorating the gym for his party the next day. It was such a fun day to remember back to when he was born and celebrate our sweet little babies life. He is such a joy and we thank God for him!
