Oliver had his first Halloween (as Yoda) his first Thanksgiving (as himself) and his first Christmas (as an Elf). He is now eating solid foods of course, and has recently added finger foods to his diet. Mealtime has become much more fun for Oliver, and much more messy for mom. He does a good job of getting food in at least 5 different places, at least one of which I don't find until hours later :)
We now have a crawler after months of 'creeping'. Oliver has also learned how to pull himself up on things and wants to spend most of his time standing or perched on his knees. I'm guessing this means he will start practicing walking in the near future. This new skill gives him lots of advantages when trying to get into things he shouldn't. But luckily for him, Mom & Dad will let him play/slobber on/destroy pretty much anything as long as he can't a)choke on it b)get sick from it. His favorite toys are: the remote control, cell phones, a dog ball, any paper, a wooden airplane.
In other good news, I (Megan) am only working part time now (2 days/wk). This has been such a HUGE blessing, and a welcomed change for 2010. I can't begin to say how grateful I am for this. Oliver and I have lots of fun together-lets be honest: going to the park with my adorable son is much more fun than sitting at a desk all day :) Other exciting news, we are 'working on' buying our first house!! I say 'working on' because it is a short sale, and while the buyer has accepted the offer, we likely have a few months before the bank does. It will be a trial in patience, but well worth it if it works out.
All in all, I couldn't ask for anything more :) I'm sure the part you are looking forward to the most are the pictures, so here they are. Now that I have a little more free time I will try to update our blog more often than every 5 months :)
