Here's our little summer reading program finisher! I enrolled Eloise in the library's program to read in 15 minute increments with her until she completed a card of 8 hours total. When I was signing her up the volunteer said I should sign Oliver up, too, so I did! He is there almost all the time that I'm reading with Eloise. We filled up that card more quickly than I expected and when we turned it in Oliver got a cute little onesie. Can you believe that's a 12 month size? It's not that big on him! Here's a picture of both little graduates together.
We drove to Black Butte Ranch in Central Oregon on Friday for Evan's family reunion. It was a tough ride for a little one. We pulled over probably 3-4 times total. What usually takes 3 hours tops took us 5 hours. Totally worth it. Oliver (and Eloise) got to meet a bunch of Evan's extended family for the first time. And, after fussing in the front carrier facing in, I tried turning him to face out for the first time and he loved it. So much to see!
Not much is happening developmentally this week. Oliver just keeps rolling and smiling and swatting. And growing! We've had a tough time getting him to take a bottle and I fear it's because we haven't been giving him a bottle a day since he was a month old like we did Eloise. He took his first bottle pretty well but I've recently learned that's not happening anymore. I think I'm going to try giving him a bottle a day again once we're back from the reunion and see if he'll warm up to it. Unfortunately I'll have to use formula to supplement because now I'm only down to maybe 15 oz of breast milk in the freezer. Hopefully I'll be able to rebuild my stash while he's adjusting to bottles and we can switch back over.
