Lizard Boy

Hi :)

We're all over the flu, and back to normal! Lennon is back to his funny, crazy, awesome self. We had a good (albeit uneventful) Halloween, and I will have pictures up in the next few days!

In the meantime, enjoy a video of Lennon pretending he's a lizard.

Devil's Night

We've all got the swine flu! We're okay, we're on our way to getting better. We caught it before it got too bad.

Lennon's being a trooper. He's extra irritable but doing fine.

Here's some pictures from today!

9 Months

Too late for a real update (I'll do one of those in the next few days!), but here's a video of Lennon from the past few days, celebrating his nine months. He's officially been outside in the world for the same amount of time as he was growing in my belly :)

Each day he amazes us more and more. There is so much love in our little family.

Children's Museum of Houston

It was Auntie Jocelyn's birthday this weekend, so we all went to the Children's Museum. Great fun for everyone, and Lennon got in for free!
Here's some pictures, we'll post some more once Auntie Jo puts them on her blog.

Almost summer



Hi! I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry it's been so long since an update! We recently moved in with my parents and have been getting settled in.

Lennon's as wonderful as ever. He learned how to roll over this week, from his tummy to his back. He does it ALL THE TIME (when he should be sleeping!), and just yesterday rolled from his tummy to his back (just once though). He get's really upset when he's tired and still wants to roll over. Hopefully he'll learn soon that he can roll over when he wakes up again.

He's been eating rice cereal for about a month now, and I'm going to start him on vegetables and fruit next week. Doctor says he's ready! At his 4 month well baby appointment at the beginning of May, he was 14lbs, 6oz and 25" long. He's perfectly average.

Lennon's also been "talking" a lot more! He speaks mostly in vowels, with the occasional consonant. Sometimes it's hard for him to talk, though, because he's always chewing on something (mostly his hands).

He also LOVES being outside! One of his favorite things is to feel the breeze in his face and through his hair. He can be in the worst mood, but if you take him outside he immediately calms down.

He also recently went for his first "swim"! I held him in the water and glided him around. His favorite was the floaty that Grandpa got for him, though.

In April, Gramma and Grampa Oliver (my grandparents) came to visit! It was their first time meeting Lennon. We had a great week together! Lennon had a good time hanging out with Great Grampa by the pool.

Eric and I are doing pretty well. Eric's working hard at Suez and I'm taking care of Lennon. We love the evenings when we're all together. I'm going to try to get a job part-time, and I've decided that I want to train to become a doula. A doula is a sort of support system for a woman before labor, during labor, and after birth. She offers emotional support, encouragement, and helps the woman get through it. Rates of c-section and use of pain medication are drastically lowered when a woman has a doula during birth!


Well it sounds like Lennon isn't going to nap after all, so I will close. Again, I hope everyone's doing great and I hope to see you soon.

Lennon is laughing now! It's hard to get him to do it, but it's well worth the effort and it's SO cute. He's also pulling his head up really well when he's on his tummy, and has complete head control when he's sitting up or being carried. His new favorite thing these days is to try to force his entire fist into his mouth :)

Great Gramma and Grampa are coming to visit on Sunday, and we can't wait! Lennon's excited to meet you!
