more OLIVER ...

oliver wilks hawthorne... my baby!

well, almost 3 weeks later, im finally getting pics up on the blog. the little one is letting me...i should probably be napping, but he is about to want to be fed, so i'll just write a quick bit and get back to tending to his needs! i made a smoothie today! that was surprisingly difficult to accomplish when the baby wants to be held all the time. but my patiences are growing as i remind myself, though this is a very hard, exhausting and trying time, he will only be this small and cuddly once and i have to enjoy as much of it as i possibly can! i love you so much oliver! thank you for coming into our lives!
