'Tis the season

We've been enjoying the holiday season this year and are excited for Oliver's first Christmas. We picked out and decorated a tree. (Note to self: always ask which trees smell the best. Ours smells so good!) We also got Oliver a stocking at a local shop where Chris and I bought ours last year. His is the biggest one (on the far right in the photo below) which we thought was appropriate.

Oliver is still a pretty happy baby, except for the reflux, and has been smiling a lot. Chris made him laugh for the first time this week.
Oliver is continuing to grow, but is still a little guy for his age, though perfectly healthy. At his doctor's appointment yesterday he was 11 ½ weeks old and weighed 10 lbs 11 oz.

Before Oliver, I didn't realize how funny babies were. His expressions routinely make us smile and laugh.

  2. Thanks mom. Some of the photos are taken with an iPhone app called Instagram. It allows you to add effects to your photos, hence the vintage look that some of them have :)
