Jack Oliver is 18 months old...

We can hardly believe it, our baby is 18 months old! It seems like yesterday he was born. We had no idea when we saw this face for the first time that we could love something SO much. We love him more and more each day.

A quick trip down memory lane.

Over the river and through the woods...

To GG's house we go. She is always happy to see Jack...and us! Lately she has been spending Sunday afternoons at my parents house so we visit her there. This weekend she was at her apartment. Only at GG's do little boys get CHOCOLATE!!! I think he enjoyed every bite. GG also gave him crackers. I think he liked the chocolate better...I know I would! Oops! He hasn't figured out you need to pull BOTH cords.

Our lives are about to get busier... (drumroll)

WE'RE MOVING!!! We knew eventually we would need to move but we didn't plan on moving now! But as most of you know...it's when you're not looking that something comes up! We have signed a purchase agreement but need to sell our house first. We plan to put our house on the market in a few weeks. I will post some house pictures soon so if you know of anyone who is looking for a cute house... :) I'll sign off with a father-son video. (And yes those are the balloons in the background!)
