the amazing growing baby
looks good, doesn't it? hannah and mom made that on wednesday. a cake with apples and orange juice and no dairy. it is delicious. definitely one of the new favorites. goes great with tea in the morning! ;)
the week has been good. work has been busy, but i found out more about the job opportunity here, and it's even more exciting than i had imagined. i am meeting with the boss men next week. so keep your fingers crossed for me!! i'm pretty excited and i hope it all works out. just goes to show that all the crazy crap at earthlink was indeed some seriously crazy crap!
oliver had his 2 month appointment yesterday. he now weigh 12 lbs 15 1/2 oz, and is 23 3/4" long. that is a gain of 3 lbs 5 1/2 oz and a growth of 1" in the last month, for a total weight gain of 5 lbs 8 1/2 oz since birth! he is a big boy! both the nurse and the doctor commented on how much he's grown (the doctor said, "well, we won't have to worry about oliver not being able to take care of himself" ;). he also had to get another round of immunizations, which involved *4* shots. he was NOT happy about that. at least he had big sister hannah there to hold his hand. after we got home, he had a quick snack, then crashed for short but deep nap. poor guy was traumatized-out. you could tell for the rest of the evening he wasn't feeling too great. he ate, and you could tell he just wanted comfort, as he kept trying to eat his hands but was refusing food (he hasn't quite mastered thumb sucking). so i gave him some tylenol, and he and i settled down on the couch with a nuk and a warm blankie. he just cuddled up, awake, warm, and quiet for an hour, then he fell asleep.
i enjoyed cuddling with him while i watched atonement. overall i liked the movie. the story was mostly great, just had a few parts that annoyed me. and some of it was too artsy fartsy. but overall i enjoyed it. i love james mcavoy. :)
hannah and bryan hit the fancy movie theater (seriously, there is a restaurant and baby sitting services) up last night to see enchanted, which they both thought was really cute. princess movies are definitely up hannah's alley! :)
trying to keep it calm this weekend, though we've got plenty going on. bryan got us national treasure to watch tonight, which we think hannah will like. hannah and i are going to hit the mall first thing tomorrow morning, since i promised i would take her to the limited too. then we're all going to the domes, which should be fun and provide some great photo opportunities. i'm trying to talk mom or shannon into having us over for dinner saturday evening, since shannon leaves for school on sunday. sunday, hannah flies out (BOOOO!). mom's family christmas party is that afternoon as well, so we'll get to show off our ridiculously cute baby.
