Playdates w/ Henry

I love hanging out w/ Henry. We've already been on a road trip to Iowa and to the Mall of America - we slept thru all the shopping though!

I"m getting so big!

My Friends!

Quentin Joshua Speigelhoff arrived 11/29 to Josh and Carrie in Tampa.

Molly Blair Cheeseman arrived 11/12 to Tanner and Megan in Cedar Falls.

Finnegan Edward O'Neill arrived 9/22 to Ed and Maureen in Chicago.

I'm HERE!!!!!

Hello world! I arrived on November 8 at 9:33 am. I weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz and was 21.5 inches long. Mom and Dad gave me lots and lots of kisses right away and my big brother Cole was the first person after mom and dad to hold me. I feel soo loved. Thank you to all of my visitors and all the phone calls/emails welcoming me.

Waiting....

Mom, dad, Cole and Charlie seem ready to meet me. But I'm making them wait a little bit longer. I'm having a pretty good time as mom's little buddy. Look at dad, he looks pretty comfortable in my baby room chair.

Cole Gets Confirmed

I watched my big brother get confirmed the last weekend. He looked so handsome in his white gown.

Henry Carl Olson has arrived!

He's here! Henry was born on 10.24.08 at 6 lbs, 10 oz & 19 inches long.

I cannot wait to meet him, my BFF!

Baby Room is ready!

Dad, the Artist

Dad painted some safari animals on the wall this weekend! Check out his work!

School Baby Shower

This shower was put on by mom's crazy school friends - Casie, Molly and Amanda. Thank you girls :) Some of the games they played made them laugh really hard- like the one where they had to drink from a bottle! Leave it to Molly! :) Four of them are pregnant: Casie (due Feb 25th with twins!), Heidi (due Dec 25th), and Christie (due Jan 25th). And they didn't even plan this??!!

My "Greats"!

This is mom and Gma Sheila with Great Grandma Charlotte, I hear she is the Queen Bee. And my Great Grandpa Bob, my mom thinks the world of him.

River Falls Baby Shower

A big thank you to Jenni, Kenzie, Steph and G-ma Sheila for this wonderful baby shower! Mom and I had a great time - I even saw some of my mom's first baby outfits that G-ma Sheila saved! And I really wanted to try a mimosa but mom said no. Bummer!

Already Pros!

I think Grandpa Ed and Auntie Kenzie are ready for me!

Mindy's Baby Shower - boy or girl?

This is Mindy and the girls helping her to figure out what she is having. I think the ring says girl!! Wow, I sure hope so, talk about an instant girlfriend for me right out of the womb! I know we'll be inseparable!

Mom's New PJ's

Mom's friends are funny girls - a "pass on" gift for their 30th bdays are footie PJ's. Luckily dad was there to help her put them on. Her friend Jamie also made her some "grannie panties" which she looooved!

Baby Shower!

What a great time I had at Robyn's for the Baby Shower! They played fun games and gave Mom lots of advice about childbirth :) Don't worry mom, I'll go easy on ya!

My Safari Room

G-ma Sheila & Auntie Kenzie came over last weekend to paint my baby room. Bea, the dog, helped too. They put four different colors on the walls. My dad is going to paint some safari animals on the walls for me to look at. Here he is sketching away. I can hardly wait!
