We have officially had Oliver in our lives for two weeks now and we couldn't be happier! Although it has been busy I honestly can't imagine our lives without him. It truly feels as though he's been with us forever. And I mean "forever" in a good way.
Charlotte and Jacob have really taken to their little brother and are great little helpers. They especially like to help me hold the bottle when I'm feeding him and always ask me if he's pooped! Charlotte can't say Oliver but proudly calls him "Opiter" if anyone asks what the baby's name is!
Oliver also seems to be adjusting to his surroundings. He has spent much of his time eating and sleeping over the last 14 days! One observation I've made so far is that he tends to sleep longer periods during the day than he does at night - he likes to remind us that he's part of our family every three hours in the evening / overnight hours but is quite happy to sleep past four hours during the day. We're working on expanding that period at night though because sleep is a wonderful thing! Beyond that he is a content little man who really does roll with what is thrown his way. He has been on many adventures since joining us two short weeks ago including: walks around the neighbourhood, a visit to the park, a trip the nail salon and hairdresser, a visit to the High Park Zoo / castle park and a ride on the subway to renew Charlotte and Jacob's health cards at Service Ontario, say hello to mommy's former colleagues at eHealth Ontario and visit Grandpa's office.
We look forward to sharing many more adventures with Oliver over the coming weeks / months / years - forever is a long time and we're thrilled he's a part of our family!
