Ollie loves his piano!

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

Crawling!

Oliver has been working hard on his crawling lately.  Here is a little video!

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 :)
