He likes it! Hey Oliver!

Yes, I've been missing from the blogosphere for almost a whole month! And wouldn't you know, so much has happened? Here're the highlights:

Cottage is closed down

Oliver had a happy Halloween!

Oliver was a PUMPKIN! (see pix below!)

Oliver went trick-r-treating!

Oliver survived while Mommy went to Dallas and hung w/Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson

Number four is true. I'm not exaggerating. (Much)

Oliver ate solids finally the weekend Mommy left town.

Oliver loves solids.

Oliver is on all 4's now (rockin' but not crawling)

Mommy's hair is a really dark dark brown now....

Oliver got his first ball (ok, this was at the end of September)

Oliver went hiking and we all avoided poison ivy! Yeah!

Oliver witnessed 10,000 ping pong balls being dropped from a helicopter onto the street.

Oliver still has no teeth

Oliver moved up into the big babies' room (the 6-12 months olds are in there)

Oliver has a new stroller (this was back in September... not sure if I wrote about it)

Oliver cries sometimes when Mommy leaves the room. Yeah! He loves me!

Oliver experienced the most warmest Nov 4th day since mommy was a baby herself! Nov 4th, 1964 the temp was 74 degrees (I was 3 months old). Nov 4th, 2008 was 73 degrees, a record high! Oliver is 7.5 months.

and the most amazing thing that has occurred thus far:

1. Oliver witnessed the first African American President to be elected! Hurrah! Hurrah! Barak Obama is our new president! There is HOPE for Oliver's future!

OK, that's all I can fit into this lunchtime post. More this weekend! Ciao!
