Oliver and Sophie
Sleepy head. Aunt Christy picked out his clothes the entire week she was here. Doesn't he look cute?
I think he looks like my cousin Justin (when he was younger) in this picture. What do you think?
Happy to be awake.
He loves to chew on his fingers now. The two lower central teeth are in and we are anticipating the eruption of the top two next!
Here is Kim, Rian and Oliver posing for a picture in the play room. Taylor is in the background.
Amanda and Maya all decked out in pink!
Oliver and Ryan playing in the big chair. Oliver is picking on Ryan for a change. Usually Ryan is gently picking on Oliver. He doesn't realize that Oliver can't stand his own ground. We tease Ryan that someday Oliver is going to be bigger/taller than him. (Guessing by the height of Larry.)
Kim is regulating the boys. (haha) Oliver looks happy!
Oliver and Maya all packed up and ready to go home. Oliver was really funny with Maya. When she cries, he cries. On the way there she was crying and he started. He stopped for a brief moment to see if she was still crying and when she wasn't he didn't cry anymore. If she was still crying, he stopped for that few seconds and then started again. Amanda and I were laughing so hard. I have never heard him sympathy cry before! I guess he loves his girlfriend!
Here he is laying with Oliver on his play gym. Notice that Oliver can't take his eyes off him. Good thing Ryan is such a good boy, I think Oliver is going to look up to him as they grow up together!
I asked Ryan if he wanted to feed Oliver his lunch. It was hilarious. You can see that Ryan is opening his mouth trying to get Oliver to take a bite. Oliver doesn't care who it comes from, as long as it goes into his mouth!
Another picture of the boys having fun!
Aunt Christy and Oliver at the dining room table. I think he looks a little sleepy.
Feeding time again. Oliver was diagnosed with acid reflux as a small baby. We have tried for some time to control it with medication, but it hasn't seem to improve any. The doctor has suggested that he receive all of his breast milk in a bottle mixed with cereal. The thickness makes his stomach tolerate it and helps it to stay down. Larry and Christy like it because they get to feed him too!
Aunt Christy had fun feeding him his prunes. He now likes to get his hands dirty (and his face) while he eats. It is so much fun to see him explore. When he is finished with his food, we sign to him 'all done.' We think he is catching on because he begins to whine or cry after the sign. What a smart baby!
Aunt Christy and Oliver having fun in the car while we are getting ready to do some serious shopping. She is really good...she changed his diaper on her lap! She is going to be a perfect nanny this summer!
She is really great at feeding him too! 
Christy is really afraid of gnomes. Larry put this in her shower to scare the daylights out of her. I am sure she wasn't as afraid of this as she was of the one he put in her bed. It was 4 times the size of this and it was wearing a Purdue outfit. He put it in between her sheets so that when she crawled into bed the first night, she would see it. She was so tired that night that she laid on it! What a ding dong! I went in her room right after she laid down and didn't hear anything. I said, "I think Larry left something in here" She said that she had felt something digging into her shoulder but was too tired to move it to figure out what it was. She sat up and I pulled back the pillow she jumped to the other side of the bed and was almost screaming. I think she curled up in the fetal position and was shaking! We meant to slip this little one into her luggage for her trip home, but we forgot. bummer! Needless to say, I think she was scared!
Christy and I watched High School Musical 2. We both have seen 1, and knew that we were out of the loop at work as far as that goes. Oliver was having a semi-bad day (tooth number 2 was super close to erupting!) but as soon as we put him down to watch the movie, he was instantly quiet. We couldn't believe it so much, we had to take a picture. We aren't sure if it was the music or the pretty girls. He has a tendency to check them out at church. 
Christy and Oliver posing for the camera. It was a beautiful day! See that bridge in the background? I used to have to drive across that everyday for work. Thank goodness I don't have to any more!
Here is all 3 of us. Christy had to tip her camera upside down to take this picture. We almost didn't get Oliver in it. whoops!
Aunt Christy and Oliver standing under the restaurant sign. This is one of Christy's favorite places to go when she comes to visit. I think it is Grandad's favorite place too. We always take our guests and visitors here so they may get a taste of what real seafood it like! Their crab cakes were ranked #1 in the Washington DC area. Anyone want to come and visit? Come on down!!! They have cute little shops and boutiques too!
A beautiful picture of Dulles Airport. We are so excited to get Aunt Christy!!!
A close up picture of the airport. We are taking lots of pictures to add to the blog so everyone can see what we did the whole week. Larry thinks I am crazy for taking these pictures, but if he only knew how funny this entry would be, he wouldn't have had such crazy thoughts!
This is Regan airport.........
Finally we meet up with Christy. Now you are wondering why there are two different airports pictured in this blog??? We went to the wrong airport to get her! Silly Mindy. No wonder she was waiting at luggage claim 2. Good thing we are not very convincing. Luckily the airports are only about 30 minutes away in Saturday traffic! The bad part was we had to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the truth to mom who was calling every 10 minutes asking if we had seen her yet. Christy was dodging her calls so she wouldn't have to tell her that we were at the wrong airport. The really bad part of the story...I booked her ticket for her!
