Better Together: Guess who!

You guessed right, I am back!
I am so soo SOOO sorry that I haven't written in months. BUT I do have an excuse. My laptop decided to break and not charge at all. It is alright, it lasted me a good 7 years. Quentin got me a new laptop and I love this one. I don't miss my old one at all.

A little update on Oliver with months 9, 10, and 11.
WOW! This seems like such a long time ago. Just keep in mind that he is about to turn one and that he has grown and matured. He seems like a tiny baby when I read my notes. He is very intelligent and bright and I am a proud momma.
Month 9-
July 2,2013 crawled on his knees for the first time.
July 17, 2013 I was vacuuming the basement of my in-laws place. Oliver got scared of the vacuum. So he went over to where the vacuum was plugged and pulled it out. (He hasn't stopped unplugging things, like Daddy's computer cords.)
-Has associated that the light switch turns on the light bulbs.
-Can sit himself up now. So cute.

Went to Beaver Brick Falls.

He is enjoying his new hat.

He likes to play in the water.

He also doesn't mind getting dirty.

He closed the toilet lid on his hand.

And me being the mean parent that I am, I decided to take a picture of it before I rescued him.

Isn't he a cutie?

Month 10-
-Walks along walls and furniture
-Obsessed with how things open and close
-Interested in wheels and things that spin
-He likes to clap and dance
-His new things it to carry toys in his mouth and crawl to the next room with it in his mouth. Sometimes he like to act like a dog.
-He stands for several seconds at a time.
-Has 5 teeth.

Quentin and I were both teaching lessons today. Since YW is held in the nursery room(we don't have any nursery children) I got to watch Oliver. A little into my lesson I realized that Oliver wasn't in eye sight. So I stopped my lesson looking for him when I heard him give out a yelp. And this is what I found.

Again, being the mean parent I am I decided to take a picture of him before rescuing him.

Oliver watching a man mow the lawn.

Look at those eye lashes.

My boys fell asleep during church.

Again, amazing eye lashes huh?

I found Quentin's handkerchief on the floor and the first thought that popped into my head was this.

My lone ranger.

Beautiful blue eyes.

Walking with daddy.

Auntie Ivy thought it would be funny to put an empty chip bag on my baby's head.

Month 11-
Sept. 2- Went to the Lancaster Fair. We went to the horse pulling show. Oliver was more interested in the tractor going back and forth putting the weights on the horses than the actual animals themselves.
Sept 7 at 7:13ish p.m.- Oliver took his first 2 steps. Q and I were laying on the floor talking to each other. From my peripheral vision I saw Oliver stand up and take 2 steps toward us. He was 10 months and a week old. Woot woot. We are going to have a walker soon.
-He dances, waves, and says bye.
-For the longest time I wouldn't wash the mirror in the living room because you can see his cute little hand print on it.
-Sept. 27- Oliver stood himself up and walked about 8 feet. Daddy didn't get to see. Sad day.
-Had a FHE lesson on sharing and Oliver is quite good at it. (He like to share food that he doesn't like with mommy and daddy)
-Sept. 30- Had O try an olive and he politely put it on the table and gave it back to me. I guess he doesn't like food that is black.
-Works out with mommy, massages daddy's head(more like plays with daddy's hair), and likes to chill on the floor. He does this thing where he is on all fours and will bend his head down and kiss the floor. I keep telling Oliver that we aren't Buddhist.
-I wasn't paying attention to Oliver and what he was doing. So he crawled over to me, put his hand on my cheek and turned my face towards his and then he gave me a smile.
