Don't disturb me, I'm meditating!

Who doesn't love Sam?!?

Priceless!

My Aunt Bobbie came to see me and we had the best time. I love her very much!

My first Christmas tree! Mommie and Bobbie are still decorating it! I like lights!

Okay, again with the creepy arm extended sleeping. Please tell me other children do this. PLEASE!

Okay, so I haven't updated in a while. I do have a good excuse, I've been sick. Thankfully, Brax is thriving and gets more precious with each day.

This is Brax's First Thanksgiving outfit, and this is what Brax did most of Thanksgiving!

Again, the Thanksgiving outfit, and the ZZZZZ's. I thought all through Thanksgiving about how blessed we are to have Brax, and what a difference a year makes. I remember so vividly last year at this time. We didn't think we could have a baby, and my dad was so very sick. How thankful I am that God heard my prayers. We have Brax and my dad is doing well.

This is Brax looking in the mirror that I had just placed in his crib. It was so cool to see him experience that for the first time. So many firsts, each one amazing!

Okay, so I know I go on and on about how precious he is, but I have to say he does some strange things too. This would be one example. Yes folks, he is asleep and yes, his arms are extended. This pose is actually very similar to the dance in the Thriller video, but he slept this way for a long time, and it totally creeps me out.....

Today is Brax's one month birthday. He is really gaining strength in his neck and tracking objects. He's a really good baby, and I haven't been peed on in a long time! Yeah....

WARNING!!! Do not remove Brax from Grandma's arms or suffer the consequences!!!! That is a good thing. Grandma is visiting and she and Brax adore each other. We are getting alot of rest thanks to her help. It's wonderful.

Two of the nicest people we know. Our cousins Mark and Debbie. They are also future babysitters which really makes them the nicest people we know!

Brax's first Halloween with Dad and Sam. A word to any children planning to trick or treat, don't come to our house. Tim feels that we should only give three pieces of candy per child. Something about conserving candy. HMMMM

That is the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen, thanks Aunt Melissa for the outfit! We tried to put Tyler's snuggly on, but it was too big!

Our first baby Madi, and our second baby Brax! Shortly after this picture was taken Madi sneezed and we had to catch Brax mid air!

Madi loves her pumpkin costume!Gotta love that!

Yes, Brax is already enjoying baseball with his dad. As you can see he is glued to the World Series.

If I could rotate this picture I would, is that a cute smile or what. I'm not even going to tell you what he is actually doing, let's just say he's smiling.

I can't believe he is three weeks old today. What a joy and blessing he is. Be sure to check in for Halloween pictures, he and Madi have special outfits!

Am I cute or what?

My favorite way to pass the time.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Proud Daddy

Aunt Cindie and Brax

My Godmother and namesake, Aunt Melissa!

Proud Grandpa, can't you tell!

Proud new grandpa!

2 Weeks and 5 Days Old

It's so hard to believe that Brax is two weeks and five days old! I thought a blog would be the best way for everyone to stay posted on how the Oliver's, most importantly, how Brax is doing. Tim and I feel nothing short of blessed with our son. He is an amazing baby and obviously looks just like his dad. That definately works for me because I happen to find his dad quite handsome! Tim and I are learning all of the things that the books I poured over didn't cover. Some of these things would be: how to avoid getting peed on when changing a diaper, just because the baby is crying doesn't mean he is going to die and babies love to be swaddled! Brax definately does. I don't want to jinx myself here, but Brax sleeps well through the night, waking up one or two times ( thank you Cindie Sutterfield)! He is a really good baby and seems content. He is already tracking black and white objects with his eyes, and Tim and I are pretty sure he will start walking next week:) We want to thank all of the friends and family that have offered their help and well wishes. Their were so many of you, and we know that our son is loved and prayed for. Thank you so much to Georgia and my Dad, Melissa, Sam and Cindie for your help during the first two weeks. You guys helped me through such a rough time. We are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandma Marley. Brax can't wait to meet her. Well that is all for now, I will post pictures and update regularly, so stop by and check out the world of our little Brax!
