Hot winter

Today is probably the hottest day of the year so far with about over 90F (32C). Oliver who's grown up in pretty mild temperature so far, got pretty hot today when we went for lunch on the terrace of Central Market with Steve. Steve is visiting from Germany and we were happy to see him.
In the bouncy seat saga, here is a video I filmed right after we got back from lunch.

Other than that, at Oliver's 6 months visit, everything was well, the doctor said he's very healthy and still in the 90th percentile in weight and height.

Weekend in Galveston

Last weekend, Ben had a conference in Galveston. Oliver and I joined and spent the night at the Moody Gardens Resort. Lot of firsts for Oliver. First time in a hotel, at the beach and visiting an aquarium.

Sitting

Oliver is about to turn 6 months old tomorrow. During our last yoga class last week, I noticed other babies sitting. Most of these babies were older than Oliver but I wondered when Oliver would sit on his own. Two days later, I got a text from Ben saying our son was sitting. Yesterday, while Ben was trying to figure out where to plant the gazillion trees he just bought, Oliver sat in the grass for a good couple hours, just giggling, having a total blast.... and eating lots of grass. :)

Oliver's first steps (sorta)

Here's the video I promised...

Sunrise

We have the chance to see a beautiful sunrise every morning from our bed, especially in the winter when the trees lose their leaves.
Several mornings ago, Oliver got very interested in the orange light...
