Last post for a while :-(

Hi everyone! I wanted to get a quick post in before we lose our broadband connection at home in two days time. We will all be in the US on 2nd May so life is a bit busy at the mo!

Oliver is still doing really well. The crawling has come on no end and he can get from one end of the room to the other in no time. He has so many toys to play with but his favourite things are cables, Scoop's crate, Scoop's bones, car seat, bags, shoes.......etc etc!! We have to tell him "no" in a stern voice now but he still responds with a smile - he'll soon learn!!

Anyway, here are a few pics and another video for you. I'll try to put an update on asap after our arrival in the US.


Oliver likes to feed himself sometimes - with what looks like the most massive spoon ever!

Latest Pics!

Hi everyone! Not too much news at the moment - we are still waiting to hear when we will complete on our house and the move can go ahead. Until then we are living in chaos! I finished work on Friday which was all a bit strange.

Last Sunday we had a mega snowfall (well, for the UK it was pretty bad!). Most of it came down in the 25 minutes I was out walking Scoop!! Crazy weather for April.

Oliver is doing well. His two top teeth have now come through so that's 4 in total. His crawling is coming on although it is still more like hopping than crawling!! He managed to get from one side of the front room to the other this morning! At the last weigh-in he was 20lbs and 2oz so obviously doing well on the growth front!! His 6-9mth clothes are starting to get snug - particularly the tops. Last night he wore a bigger sleepsuit as the others were definitely looking a bit short on the sleeves! Anyway, that's it for now. Enjoy the video of Oliver and Scoop who are becoming the best of friends (too bad Scoop likes to have a little play nibble at the end - we have to watch her like a hawk!).


I will get my rattle!

I like to sit in front of my bear now - I get angry if I'm laying down!

Best friends!!

Meeting the family

On Sunday I took Oliver down to Sussex to meet my Uncle Geoff and Aunty Joan and my cousins Lindsay and Richard. We had a lovely lunch and Oliver got lots of cuddles (well, Richard at least held him even if it was at arm's length!!!!). There are a few pics below - I am waiting for one of Geoff and Oliver to be sent to me (hint, hint!).

Since then we have been to visit our friend Christine who did our wedding flowers and today we went to see my friend Deb in Hertfordshire. A whirlwind tour of the home counties this week!

There is a lovely video at the end of this which proves that we are definitely Oliver's parents - we are teaching him well, LOL!!


My son is such a poser!!

Just a beautiful smiley photo!!

What is this baby thing you've given me??!!!!
