one year ago

I posted that we were ready and eager to meet Oliver... now I can not believe that was ONE YEAR ago.... one year ago I was VERY pregnant and ready to be done with the pregnancy... ONE YEAR ago I had no idea how much I would love him.... ONE YEAR ago his room was ready and today is room is a mess and I love it!!!!



We spend our first weekend away as a family and we went to my cousins Christopher's wedding in New York and stayed with my cousin Norma, her husband Viktor and their three kids (Jakob, Adrian and Veronika) - we.had.a.blast!!!  I can not wait to go back up there... Oliver enjoyed playing with the older kids, it is so nice to see him look at them and trying to interact.  While there he stood twice unsupported for more than 5 seconds each time.  The first time in between Patrick and yours truly while we were sleeping on the floor (best way to sleep BTW) and the second time he was showing off next to Veronika who then decided it was time to push him over...


The wedding was beautiful, seeing family was great and we also happened to not only celebrate Christopher and Krystal's wedding but also my Grandmothers 86th birthday!!!!









Last Saturday was also very eventful for me.  I nursed Oliver for the last time *popping champagne corks* and I can proudly say I DID IT!!! I didn't think I could do it, but I nursed him for 12 months minus one week (but enough frozen BM to cover for that) now he drinks whole milk and loves it (evening bottle has the BM until it is all gone!!!)


On a not so happy note - Oliver ran his first fever on Monday and is still feeling a little under the weather...  hopefully  he will recover before Saturday otherwise we will have to cancel his first birthday party :(

Congrats Donik on the nursing milestone! Well done. It is definitely bittersweet to recall that last time...
