The Big Dip!

While dad was away at Uncle Parker's bachelor party, Oli and mom hung out with friends by the pool and took our first dip together in the heated pool!

Ladies Man

Oliver has discovered the art of flirtation, capturing the hearts of ladies everywhere from brunch to Costco.  

Even though he doesn't have to work that hard with Aunt Jess, he still turns on the charm...

Where's the fire baby?

Saturday was the South Pierson Road block party.  While mom was in Connecticut celebrating at Lynch's bachelorette party, Oliver was the life of the block party with Dad, Uncle Parker and Aunt Jess.

And a picture from mom's night at drag queen bingo where unfortunately the bachelorette Lynch wasn't the biggest queen of the night...

 

Tummy Time with a Side of Drool

On his high horse (or chair)

We felt it was time Oliver got on the level with us, so we tried out his high chair for the first time, he looks like he was on a high!

What a great catch!

Mom's friend's at FDM Marketing (Tom, Barb and Tori) helped along Oliver's future as a baseball superstar with his first baseball glove in Met's blue along with a "softball" baseball.

Dad's first reaction was to put the glove on Oli's head as a rally cap- and the Mets turned around their losing streak by beating the Pirates (sorry Barb!)

Like Father, Like Son

Dad's mini-me

Is that a giggle?

Happy Boy!

Meeting Cousin Jack

We knew Oliver was getting big, but didn't realize it until we saw him next to his new Cousin Jack...

Evolution of a Smile

So big!

How did he get so big so fast?

Newborn:

Two months:

Fugetaboutit!

Even though the Soprano's was before his time, Oliver wanted to see where the final scene was shot.  So after watching Dad's softball game (a game we would like to fugetabout), we went out for ice cream at Holsten's. 

Here is the little gangster and his inspiration:

Oh the places he'll go!

Oliver applied for his passport so he could see the world.

Wing Night Part II

By popular demand, Oliver made an appearance at wing night again.  

Here is what he told Uncle Parker about the night: "Whaaa? No beer & wings for me???"

 

So he passed out and snuggled instead.

Chatty Lap Surfer

Couldn't help but post all three ;-)

Hit it, hit it good!

Like a cat, Oliver is coy, waiting for his unsuspecting prey to get distracted, then he pounces!  

Wait for it....

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Oli!

Even when you think it's safe to play Superman hours after feeding, spit happens.  Unfortunately, it was not caught on video, but it was funny when Dad got it!

Two Days Too Many

It's been a couple days since Oliver has had some movement down below.  And although veteran parents reassured us that babies can go for as long as a week, Oliver's heritage made us think we were in for trouble... and we were!  

Even Oliver was grossed out! 

Too much information? ;-)

The Evolution of the BBQ Shirt

In honor of Dad working from home on Thursday so Mom could go for drinks in the city, Oliver sported his BBQ shirt featuring squeezy ketchup and mustard bottles, which Dad and Uncle Parker have an affinity for along with BBQ shirts.  It didn't get us any BBQ for lunch though...

Flirting with Alicia

After softball was canceled on Tuesday, Alex and Alicia came over for dinner and Oliver turned on the charm for Alicia. 

Correction!

The diaper cake featured on the Upstate Par-tay entry was incorrectly attributed to Linda & Bob as its creators.  While Bob's craft skills would never be questioned, the cake was in fact created by Linda and Melissa, who are shown below (this picture was originally omitted for Kate's vanity as it was taken later in the day when her chest had expanded to the size of a linebacker's...)
