Fun with Pictures
Oliver is at such a fun age right now - he is so interactive, talkative and mimics everything we do. It's so fun to watch him develop his own personality and to see him express his opinions. We have been having fun working on picture cards with him - here is a cute little video: http://youtu.be/gnQjeD29vHQ

Oliver's First Birthday!
We can't believe that our little monkey is already 1!! I have been so nostalgic lately thinking of where we were a year ago - completely in awe of the life we created but at the same time sleep deprived and completely clueless as to how to care for an infant. The year has been a bit of a whirlwind full of the highs and lows of adjusting to parenthood. Overall I think the lack of sleep and the numerous day care illnesses were probably the most challenging. Conversely the amount of love we have for Oliver is immeasurable and nothing else comes close in importance. It has been amazing watching him grow and develop into a little person with his own fun personality and opinions. He is such a sweet, happy, friendly, independent and easy going little boy. We feel so very blessed and he has added so much depth and love to our lives. We celebrated his birthday with an afternoon barbeque with friends. Here are some photos from the happy day:

Mad Men Party
Rhett and I had a fun date night last night and attended my company's annual party. This year it was held at the Space Needle and was a Mad Men theme. We had fun dressing up and I went all out and got my hair done. Here are a few pics:

Have to say, I love my hairdo!
Rhett looking quite the part, me not so much.. ha ha

Welcoming 2012!
This is my second week back at work and I already find myself reflecting on the days when Ollie and I could sleep in and snuggle, take our daily trips to Fred Meyer, and having time to cook every night. However I must admit that the last couple of months of my leave I was starting to feel a bit antsy especially as the weather got colder and we weren't able to spend much time outdoors. As much as I love being home with Oliver I also enjoy having a well-balanced life that I suppose includes work.. I say that a bit indifferently because I don't feel as though I have found my 'dream job' yet but I also can't complain about my current gig. I'm actually really pleased with my new project and the fact that it's been a super slow start with a holiday last week and a few snow days this week that have allowed me more time at home. We've had a good start to 2012 thus far as Rhett and I enjoyed a fun date night, we had the Hill-Stach's over for dinner and we celebrated Oliver's 6 month birthday!

Oliver at 6 months - it's so fun to watch him change and grow. I used to think he looked exactly like Rhett but now I can see both of our features in him.
Happy 6 month birthday Ollie - we love you so much!!!
Hats Hats Hats
While I must admit that dressing a boy is probably not as fun as dressing a girl which is mostly due to the lack of retail options available out there.. I compensate by having fun with hats. Here are a few of my favorite Ollie hat pics :)
