I really should update the blog more often...but then again my list of things to do seems to only get longer. It's been a great month. Oliver is still amazing!!! He is such a happy baby. He is so helpful around the house. He loves to throw away his dirty diaper or any trash. He puts the dirty laundry in the hamper. He knows to be careful when he closes a door or cabinet to not pinch his finger, but even if he does he shows me where it hurts. He's been signing more and now signs please and sometimes thank you. He definitely understands everything I tell him. I love watching him problem solve when it comes to reaching for something or how to hold on to what he wants and still grab something else. Physically he is still growing big and tall. He also has an amazing head of curly hair that everyone adores.
This past month, Oliver's been doing better and better in his swim class. He is able to float on his own! And he went from crying throughout most of his 15-minute class, to last weekend with no tears. He was having such a good time in the water and felt so comfortable, I think he was sad to leave. Another big adventure was that we attended my old friend Lenny's daughter's 4th birthday party. They had a petting zoo and pony ride at a park in Tehachapi where they lived. It was a long 2-hour drive to get there, but worth the trip to not only see my good friends, but to see Oliver having a great time.
A few days ago we decided to switch our bedroom with Oliver's room. It was so that he can have a quieter and warmer space. So now our bedroom has the french door entrance to the backyard. And we are loving the new set up and convenience. We have a few other updates lined up to make the home even more comfortable and more usable space. It's great that even after all these years we can still make small changes to the house but have a big impact. It's evolving as our needs have changed, and it's good to know we can definitely enjoy the home we love for many more years.
This past Monday was also our nanny's last day. We had given her 2 months to find a new job, and it worked out that she left 2 weeks early to a family with 2 older children. We will see her often still when we have date nights or morning appointments. I'm glad that we had her for as long as we did and I was able to get the things I need to get done completed. It'll be great to save that money. And speaking of money, I have just been hired by an good friend from Disney to do some design work. It could potentially be a long term deal, so I'm very excited about the extra income.
My website is also completed an has been well received. I'm so glad I got it done and now I have a place to continue updating with more of my projects.
More to come...
