10/1/2009-Ollie committed his first break in, but the judge let him off with a warning because it was his first offense.
10/2/2009-Ollie sat up on his own while hanging out in the basement. Of course his bottom was sunk into the cushy bed and his head was on my arm. However, he was still very proud of his accomplishment.
10/3/2009-Ollie got his first flu shot in the morning and luckily he had no adverse reaction. In the afternoon we were off to Woolfest with Grammie and Poppy. Ollie rode a pony, looked at tons of animals, and renewed his love affair with goats. Oh, and he shared an ice cream cone with Daddy.
10/4/2009-October birthday dinner at Grandma's. Even though Ollie is an October birthday buddy, this was just for Grandpa and me. Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Peggy joined the festivities and the best part was Ollie managed to not freak out when Jeremy held him.
10/7/2009-While watching Daddy clean his work truck Ollie managed to have his first taste of a leaf. Mostly, we just enjoyed the cool weather and being outside.
10/10/2009-Grandma helped me clean the house. Ollie managed to wiggle his way underneath his crib, but after all that work passed out on the floor.
10/11/2009-Pumpkin Patching with Molly, Tyler, and the gang. Ollie once again LOVED the goat in the petting zoo.
10/14/2009-My 33rd birthday. I worked all day, Ollie stayed with Grandma, and we ate pizza at Grandma's for dinner. Ollie enjoyed his first personal pizza handmade by Grandma. Ollie's Halloween costume arrived, so of course he tried it on and immediately turned into a pirate. I spent most of the day contemplating the fact that I was pregnant two birthdays in a row. Hopefully next year I'll be able to enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine.
10/15/2009-We were supposed to meet Aunt Peggy for lunch, but Ollie developed a slight cold complicated with teething issues, so instead we stayed home. We spent the evening playing in Ollie's new toy corner in the living room. He was still not feeling great, but seems to love having his own space. Daddy and I are still adjusting to Ollie's ever-expanding stuff, but we decided to embrace it considering we have no other option.
10/18/2009-Still teething so we were up much of the night. Skipped church and relaxed all day.
10/20/2009-Worked all day while Ollie stayed with Grammie. Watched Daddy mow the grass and Ollie got to take a ride. I had to work at 6:00 am the next morning, so Ollie spent the night with Grammie and Poppy. Even though we dropped him off just before bed time, the house seemed empty when we got home.
10/21/2009-I worked 12 hours and could barely walk when I got home. Sciatic issues were back with a vengeance so Daddy took care of Ollie while I rested. Someday I'll learn not to over do it...maybe.
10/22/2009-Slept in and tried to kick back all day. Relaxed outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
10/23/2009-I worked all day and Ollie stayed with Grammie. Grandma helped us grocery shop for Ollie's birthday party and then hung around to feed him dinner. Although I was looking forward to the party, I felt totally overwhelmed with chores and the fact that my sciatic was messed up once again.
10/24/2009-Spent all morning running last minute errands for Ollie's party. Grandma came over after lunch to help prep all the food. Once most of the chores were under control, we headed to Grammie's with all the party gear/food/favors to visit with Aunt Theresa, AJ, and Ollie's favorite lady, Anna. He enjoyed opening his first birthday gift and especially flirting with Anna. He also seemed somewhat confused when AJ walked through the door. I guess that makes sense considering how much he and Daddy look alike.
So that's the activity since the last installment. Also, once I started to look pregnant Speck was renamed Deuce. I'm finally over morning sickness, but I've really been having issues with the sciatic nerve and fatigue. Hopefully the writing staff won't go on strike again and we'll be able to keep the new episodes coming. Stay tuned.
so glad the writing strike is over !!!!
