Mr. Serious.....

Today Oliver had his picture taken along with all of his cousins, and my happy smiley baby turned into Mr. Serious Face! I will admit that my Oliver has a temper and is very stubborn (both of his parents put together - boy are we in for a ride the next 17 years!!). But when he is in a good mood, having slept and fed, he is always laughing and growling and smiling and just non-stop! So why then when we get a camera out does he just sit and stare??

We were able to get a few good smirks out of him! I had one of his favorite little dudes that rattles up behind the camera and he started to go for it, so we got a very cute picture out of it! I cant believe our little man will be 1 years old next month! I miss my little snuggly baby that let me hold him for hours and would only fall asleep on his daddy's chest at night! But i am looking forward to the toddler years with running around outside and playing in the dirt! Plus he has his cousin Seamus to grow up with and will always have a little friend! I will post more pictures from this day later on, so stay tuned :o)

10 Months Old!!

Oliver is now 10 months old! I cant believe how fast he has grown! He is such a big boy and has such a huge personality, along with a huge temper! he does not like to hear no, and will let you know if you do something he doesn't like. He spends all day with Momma but is a Daddy's boy through and through! It does not matter who else is in the room if his daddy is there. Here's some more fun facts about Mr. Oliver: he weighs about 21 pounds and is 29 inches tall * has just moved up to size 4 diapers * has 8 teeth! * loves food * likes to blow raspberry's on peoples skin (loves to do it on momma's shoulders) * loves his toys and balls * loves LOVES his new cousin baby Seamus, he will talk softer to him and always wants to touch him * has 3 different kinds of crawls - on his knees he can go pretty fast, does the inchworm, and the army crawl * Loves to stand * likes to play at the fridge with all the magnets * loves to pull out all his daddy's movies * will stand and watch you eat and pat your leg and does a little dance until you give him food * says DaDaDa and Daddy and Ba (baby) over and over * sleeps about 10 -12 hours through the night * has the most hilarious laugh * and just loves all his peoples! Here is some pictures of our little man, enjoy :o)

Hello world!

this is our blog :-), welcome. it will mostly be about Oliver growing up and things he does, and me being a mommy, with bits of exciting parts about me and Patrick thrown in too. woo hoo *<|:o). I will apologize in advance, i sometimes have odd thoughts and will most likely share them, but those of you who are my friends will understand - its just Cassie Marie.

this was a Little Bit ago........

Meet Oliver, our non stop monkey! He was born on October 29 by c-section because he decided he was more comfortable being the wrong way! (stubborn child!) He then had to spend 4 days in the Nicu because he cried so hard and for so long that he popped a seam in his lung and started to leak air into his diaphragm :( But after the scary breathing mask, all the IV tubes and wires, and spending some time under the UV light, we finally got to bring him home! And he has been going going going ever since!

But then he got to downsize :-)

Under the UV light, im glad he only had to be under there for 1 day
