My big break-up with Facebook is almost complete. I've been hanging on far longer than I should have and it's just time to make a clean break. It's not Facebook, it's me. You see Sam has not been happy about me having an account for quite sometime now and I've holding on because there are so many pictures on there that I need to save to my computer do they're not gone forever and it is so convienient to have all my far away friends in one place to keep tabs on but honestly facebook is a complete time suck and now that I have an iPhone I find myself checking Facebook far too often and checking out of quality time with my family. It's been a subtle transition for months now. I have slowly dwindled down my friends list to the bare minimum so I'm not over stimulated by the constant updates of people I barely know but even still I am constantly distracted. No more! I can do this. A good friend of mine did it and she is still alive to tell the tale. So I just need to stop cold turkey and like ripping off a band aid it will probably sting for a minute but then it will be all over. I've got plenty of social networking still available to me with twitter and Pinterest. Now when I update about my kids and my life I will be forced to go into details and keep this journal that I told myself this blog would be. I want to make it into a bound book someday so I can have all these memories to look back on and and two or three word sentence on facebook does not make a very good book.
I can do this!

All About Ollie
So far, gross motor skill wise, Oliver is nothing like Collin and Gwen....and I couldn't be happier.
By 4.5 months C & G were already army crawling. They hated their Bumbo seats and were always flailing to try and get out as soon as I would put them in.
Oliver, on the other hand, LOVES his Bumbo. He sits in there for about 10-15 min at a time. Another thing different about C & G and Oliver is that O is learning to sit up on his own. C & G never just sat....they were always on the move.
I love that at 5.5 months I can still put O down somewhere and know where he is. I haven't had to childproof much so that's nice. He's not a huge cuddler but he is somewhat cuddley. He loves avocados, sweet potatoes and bananas. I introduced acorn squash a couple days ago and it's not his favorite but he tolerates it. He loves to grab anything I have in front of him especially his giraffe Sophie. He loves to play with his toes and can bring his toes all the way into his mouth where he proceeds to suck on them. EWWW! :) He is very intrigued by the dogs and I think the feeling is mutual. He LOVES Collin and Gwen. When they talk (even if they're not talking TO him) he just starts smiling like crazy and making babbling noises. He has been making squealing, happy sounds for about a month now and recently he has started blowing raspberries.
In general he is a VERY happy baby. A couple of weeks ago he was fussy for about a week and I was convinced he was going to cut teeth at any moment but nope. No teeth yet. When we are out in public though and people come up to talk to him he is ALWAYS so receptive with a HUGE toothless smile and coo.
I can't even believe sometimes how incredibly lucky I am. I have 3 beautiful, happy, healthy children and an AMAZING husband who is seriously my best friend. Its why I'm the charmed mama. ;) Well Gwen has REALLY been testing me lately but that is a blog for a different day.
