My parents arrived last Saturday and Ben returned to work this week so we've been slacking on the blogging, sorry about that.
With my parents in town, Oliver gets to practice his French, smell a lot of cheeses his grandparents brought over, and he also gets to hug his Mamie.
Oliver just turned one month old yesterday and for his birthday we got him 3 chickens. Well, the truth is we've been wanting chicken for a long time and we finally got to it...
After Ben chased the chickens around the side yard last night to put them in their coop, they had a good night of sleep but they couldn't quite figure out how to get out of it this morning... The coop is so ingeniously engineered, it looks like a hamster house, thanks Ben! :)
We have yet to give them names. If you have any suggestions, feel free to add a comment below.
For Oliver's birthday, we also opened a bottle of Champagne and put a little drop behind his ears like my grandmother does for good luck and happiness. Ben and I definitely attribute our happiness to this little trick from my Mamie and to the many bottles of Champagne we've shared over the years to celebrate - even when there wasn't a real reason for it...
Oliver is doing great, as of today's visit at the pediatrician - who he really likes by the way, he measures 22 inches and weighs 11lbs 11oz which puts him in the 90-95 percentile. The doctor called him "chunky"... He does have nice cheeks now.
