Oliver finally officially laughed last night!! He has been so close for quite awhile now. On Thanksiving, he would make one little "Huh" sound that was obviously supposed to be a laugh. But last night he really had a few chuckles. He was playing with John & Evie after dinner. Evie was being silly with him and making him smile really big. John tickled Oliver's leg, and out came a giggle! Then right before bedtime, I had Oliver laying on our bed, and I popped up from the side and surprised him. He loves that, so we got a few more giggles out of him. It was so adorable!!

Since I'm on the desktop computer, I'll post a few pics. We got a new camera, so we're going to learn how to take good pictures. At this point, we're just goofing around with it and have no idea what we're doing. So don't expect too much just yet. :)

Did I mention the tape that Oliver has to wear all the time? It's to keep the sun from "tattooing" the scar. He has to wear it for six weeks. Then we have to be diligent about keeping sunscreen on his lip. It's annoying, but it's a lot better than stitches and no-no's!

It was beautiful outside on Wednesday. We spent some time out in the wind getting some fresh air. We all needed it. The kids have been sick since last weekend.

Here's Evie's ginormous doll. Sure, it looks small in the picture, but look at it compared to Evie!

Here are some others from our old (as in 4 and a half years ancient) camera.

If you look at this one full sized, "Sparkles" will give you the heebie-jeebies.Oh, they're so adorable. I honestly don't think there are any sisters in the world who could possibly love their brother more than these girls do.I had to post this one of Evie's goober smile. We've tried to take Christmas card pics, and several have featured this lovely grin.
