Five Month Baby Feat!

Hello! Oliver is steadily progressing into a delightful little guy! He's now able to withstand several minutes without bouncing, rocking, etc. And he just learned to roll over! Check out the video of the third time he did it!

We also just started a GET (Guaranteed Education Tuition) account for him. It allows us to buy a "unit" of college education at today's prices that will be worth a unit of education when he's ready to go. Its value is tied to Washington's more expensive universities (UW & WSU), but he'll be able to use it wherever he wants to go. We started with a modest account, but hope to be able to provide him the first couple years of college so he can avoid some of his mom's crushing student loan debt. And yes, other people can also contribute.

Perry went back to work this month, and we're trying to settle into a routine. If Oliver gets up at 6, he can have his first nap at home from 7 until about 8:30, eat, and get on the road with me by a little after 9. I drop him off at Green Tree and then usually go over to feed him once or twice a day. Then I pick him up at 5, get him loaded up in the car, and we go pick up Perry and head home to immediately start the bedtime routine. It works well except when I have to be at work early or traffic is bad or god forbid both of those things are true.
