Snow and Babies
It is already a challenge to get yourself and your baby ready for anything in the morning but add snow to the equation and tag on another 30 min...
Today I had a dentist appointment at 09:30 and I started getting ready at 07:00 and I still got there 10 minutes late!!!!
I think I have the hang on getting myself and Oliver ready in the morning, but that snow - as beautiful as it is - is a HUGE pain in my a$$. Before Oliver traveling in snow was not that complicated, but today I had to go to the car - parked in the driveway - prior to leaving with him, why? Well what if there is ice around the car and I am carrying him and the 3,500 bags and things that have to go with us now everywhere we go - how am I supposed to keep my balance and not slip? Snow is also taking away the shortest path from house to car and believe me 19lbs baby in 20lbs car seat plus above mentioned 3,500 bags is nothing I want to carry for a longer period of time.
How will next winter be?
However - he does look cute in the snow ;)

5 months already
Christmas is so last year and here we are in 2011. Oliver is already 5 months old...
Here I thought I would turn into this super blogger and share my thoughts and opinions on being a Mommy and vowed to do it quiet often... hmmmm that didn't happen....
Anyways here is to writing more about our live :)
Oliver can - if he wants to - flip from his tummy onto his back. He is not a big fan of tummy time, he enjoys it for the first few minutes but then gets angry because he is stuck and flip over :( he prefers to show off his "trick" while wearing the least amount of clothes, however it being winter time it is kind of tough to grant him that wish ;)
Another great activity he enjoys is jumping up and down in his Johnny Jumper. He also can sit for maybe 5 seconds without any support. We also started feeding him in his highchair and so far so good :) I love the fact that we are now forced to eat more at the dinner table instead in front of the TV.
He still sleeps in the co-sleeper but it is getting tight in there... I can't believe 5 months ago he was the smallest little button and now he will outgrow the bassinet very soon :( We also converted his stroller into the big boy version and he LOVES it!!!!
It is amazing to see his development with his toys - he has now a pretty good grip on his toys and his motor skills amaze me :)
His solid food intake also increased now to two meals a day - we will increase it to three meals a day in the next two to three weeks. Green foods are not as well liked as other foods, but mix in some apple or other fruit and he is in heaven

Oliver's First Christmas
Last Christmas we told our families that we were expecting our first baby... and now two days ago we celebrated our first Christmas as Parents...
Ever since we moved to the US, Christmas was one of the holidays I never looked really forward to, because it was not the same... Just the two of us was fun, but I always missed my family.
This year I finally felt completed and I was actually very excited for Christmas Eve and even more for Christmas Morning. Oliver had no idea what was going on, but he likes to play with paper (preferably suck on it) and he loves the sound of crinkled paper. So when time came to open up his gift, he was a natural (with a little help from mommy)

It's the Season!
Oliver is now 4 months old - he started eating solid foods last Sunday. His reaction to his first spoon was very hesitant. He only ate 4 spoons, but it is a start! Since his first attempt at eating oatmeal cereal we now increased our eating habit to three large tablespoons of cereal mixed with some milk and the newest addition apple! At first he wasn't a fan of apple, but now he seems to like it!
Tuesday we are going to the 4 month well baby appointment - I am curious to see how many pound(s) he packed on and how tall he got. According to his clothes he grew a good chunk!!! His Osh'Kosh 6 month jean overall doesn't fit him anymore :( He looked so cute in it! Maybe Santa will bring him a new one...
Speaking of Santa...
I have no idea what to buy DH for Christmas!!!

Steals and Deals
I have always been a fan of online shopping - shout out to amazon.com for rocking my world for the last 10 years! HOWEVER I never thought I would prefer it over going to the mall... Don't get me wrong, I am still a mall rat and enjoy a good stroll through my mall of preference but with Oliver in tow it seems to be easier to surf the web for good deals...
Also it just amazes me that things are generally so much cheaper online not including coupon codes - which what would I do without them????
It is almost turning into a minor obsession to find the BEST deal!
25% off a Britax Car Seat
25% off a Svan Highchair, who could say no???
However Rite Aid is still one of my favorite stores to walk into and snag fantastic deals.
