7 months already!

Since when did my baby turn 7 months old... oh, yeah, yesterday.  That just doesn't seem possible!  We're on the down hill slide to his 1st birthday.  What happened to my little newborn?  Oliver is getting so big and is learning so much everyday.  It's amazing to watch him!  Since we're a few monthly pictures behind on the blog I'll update all of them for you.  This is his picture from when he was five months old.

 This one is his 6 month picture.  I could not get him to take that thumb out of his mouth for anything.  So I just took the picture with it :)

 And this is the most recent monthly photo.  7 months old!  My Mom and I made his this onesie yesterday just for his picture.  It turned out so cute!

Here are some fun facts about Oliver at 7 months old:

• He rolls over all the time and is starting to get into everything
• He is trying to learn to crawl.  He can get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth.
• He's doing better with solid foods, so far he likes sweet potatoes, avocado, banana's, mashed potatoes, and french fries :)
• He waves bye.  It's so adorable
• He loves watching scooby-doo with me
• He loves the dog (she tolerates him)
• He is such a technology baby.  He always wants your phone, or computer, he loves playing on grandma's iPad or my iPod.  

Well that's our update for now.  I'm loving being home with Oliver and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

September!

September is my very most favorite month for a lot of reasons. September is the beginning of autumn, which is my favorite time of year. I love seeing all of the changes going on in the world and I love the weather cooling down. Have you noticed that everything smells different in autumn? And there are a lot of wonderful sounds too, everything from crunching leaves to rain drops on the window. It's a happy time of year. Another reason is that September is when I got to marry my best friend in the most wonderful place on earth. That is used a lot when talking about Disneyland, but having been to both places I beg to differ. There is nowhere happier or more amazing to be then in the temple. These are some pictures I took when we went to Temple Square for date night this summer. (they have the most awesome concerts in the Brigham Young park across the street from Temple Square during the summer months.) Also here is the quote of the month, I really like this one!

"Act as if it were impossible to fail." -Dorothea Brande

I think that's really good advice and something I'm going to remember. If it were impossible to fail, I think I would try a lot of things I've been nervous to do. How many opportunities do we miss out on in life because we're afraid of failure. This reminds me of how important it is to put yourself out there and be brave. That way you know you won't have any regrets as you're living life.

I hope you have all had a fun summer! There will be a lot of post following this one to make up for everything I've been saying will get posted and never does :)
