the denim and fedora project – month 5

How is it that I have a five month old? That feels OLD! The seasons have changed TWICE while he’s been alive and we’re almost at a half a year. How, how, how. The time went by at such a moderate pace those first few months and the last two have just FLOWN. As you’ll be able to tell my the (admittedly too many) images, he’s such a different baby now. He rolls and rolls and rolls with ease, he’s constantly wanting to be paid attention to, and he’s active. Gone are the days of sitting still Ollie, or even cuddly Ollie. Unless he’s really tired or teething bad.

He’s still the biggest joy. He gives out smiles like they’re the best gift on this earth. Seriously, everywhere we go we hear “oh my gosh, he smiled at ME! I got him to smile!” And we giggle a little because he smiles at everyone. His favorite thing to play with might just be his wipes. They’re crinkly and forbidden in a way that he just loves. And he loves taking mail out of my hand and trying to chew it. But really, he loves anything that can make its way into his mouth. And he’s definitely teething. We’ve tried some solid foods and he is a drama queen about it. He makes the BEST disgusted face and pretends to gag and then he swallows it and smiles. It’s probably the most hilarious thing we’ve witnessed. He’s also transitioned to his crib as of a week ago(cue emotional me)! He’s full of change and it’s crazy. He still loves the bath or pool and loves being on the move, nothing calms him down like being moved around. He also discovered Neville this month and it’s amazing. He laughs at him for no reason and tried to grab at him and doesn’t mind being licked by him at all! What a dream for this puppy momma :]

Here’s month five of the denim and fedora project…complete with lots of other images :]

(Guys, I think you can already tell that I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to saving memories. My iPhone is consistently being broken out to “document” daily life. And when I break out the big girl professional camera to take pictures of Ollie? …let’s just say it’s never taken the “just five minutes” that I’ve promised David :] And then when it comes to PICKING my favorites to edit and then to show you all?! Ugh, it’s torturous! How could I discard an pictures of his precious face?! :] So when you go through today’s post, and think of how many pictures I shared…just know there are 80 more just hanging out on my hard drive and I promise I exercised some form of self control.)

This first set are from 11 days ago aka his actual five month birthday. Cue the Ollie joy.

A common progression.

Big personality! And delicious little thighs and knees.

It’s only been two weeks and we don’t see this anymore. He just doesn’t get stuck. He keeps on rolling!

Ollie as a homemade cow. Fully necessary.

Laughing at papa.

I think we can call this outfit the ultimate WIN!

The dazed look he gets when he’s tired himself out…

Hanging with papa at a photoshoot on Monday :] I’m a lucky girl.

He looks at me like this every time David has him on his shoulder. It’s the best!

Annnnnd the actual denim and fedora images. Some of my favorites, yet! Most taking place with him rolled over because the boy can’t stay still any longer.
