4 months!

 

Well, not EXACTLY 4 months, but since there are only 28 days in February this year it's close enough. Fun fact: My Grandpa Carson (the Joseph of Joseph Olson) was born on February 29--yes, a leap year baby! Grandpa and I turned 21 the same year if you count actual birthdays. I always thought it was neat he had such a unique birthday.

It seems that our sweet Olson was Mr. Fussy-pants today, so our pictures aren't exactly of the fun-loving boy we are used to. But they are cute just the same!

Not sure what this face is

He doesn't seem so sure about this 4 month stuff.

This was also a more interactive shoot--Olson grabbed the sign and was waving it around like crazy!

Do we have a quarterback in training? 

Olson has been LOVING his jumperoo. He jumps and jumps and has started grabbing at the toys instead of just looking at them. He is usually a happy boy when in his jumperoo--which makes for a happy mommy.

And one last cute one for good measure...

Spring is in the air!

Sorry we've been a  bit lax in posting this week! Not a lot has been going on, but Olson has been working on a new trick--he's working on rolling over. He hasn't made it all the way over yet, but he sure seems to enjoy trying!

This is as far as he makes it these days

Staring at the ceiling fan-a favorite past time

 Olson also spent some time watching basketball with Dad. Don't tell Dr. Stewart, though!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Happy Valentine's Day from the prince!

Sunday best

Now that he is old enough to go in the nursery, Keith was able to take Olson to church with him today! Of course he was the hit of the infant room (he had one other baby as competition), and the ladies just oohed and aahed over him. He did look rather cute, if I do say so myself. And yes, you did too, Dad.

Thanks for my cool shirt, Aunt Wen!

Can you tell it's about nap time?

Sweet boy

Proud Daddy!

New trick

When I got home from work on Friday, Aunt Carlette and Olson were both sitting on the couch waiting to greet me. This in itself is not a new trick, but the fact that Aunt Carlette had Olson sitting up by himself was amazing! Of course he was up against the back of the couch, but he required very little "re-propping" and was just as happy as he could be! 

I'm a big boy!

Love to blow bubbles

And he even likes to pull himself up to stand!

I think he just likes to be taller than Lilly

Play date!

Superbowl Sunday was a fun day for us! Olson had his first play date with his buddy Caleb. Granted, Caleb was the one doing most of the playing as he has the advantage of being able to sit up on his own, but fun was had by all!

Olson and Caleb meet!

Caleb would reach out and grab Olson's arm--so cute

Proud papas

Olson isn't sure about all of this socializing

yummy spinach and chicken!

Thanks for the fun time, Josh and Dana! Olson looks forward to more interactive play dates soon!

New Look!

How do you like the new look? We thought it was time to spruce things up...hope you like it!

Here are a few photos of our little sweet pea hanging out in our favorite chair...

And this is what happens when mommy doesn't keep propping him up...

Not quite able to sit up by himself yet!
