Can a Boy Be Pretty?

Mommy and daddy's digital camera ran out of batteries which is why there haven't been any recent pictures. As soon as they get the camera up and running again, they will put up some pictures on the blog (hopefully early next week). Mommy has been wondering if a boy can be pretty because the past two weeks everyone that sees me has been calling me pretty! In fact, I must be so pretty that I have now been mistaken for a girl THREE times! The first time was acceptable because I was wearing the fairly neutral color of orange but the past two times I've been wearing the signature blue color because mommy is starting to get a complex about the fact that I look like a girl. Apparently, the blue didn't serve as enough of a hint because I was still mistaken for a girl.

The past month has been filled with lots of fun adventures for me! We spent Labor Day up in Maine with my Grammi, Dziadzia, Uncle Mike, Aunt Carolyn, Great Aunt Marian and Alison. The weather was great and I got plenty of TLC. I love being held! The next weekend, Nonna and Papa Coach came for a visit. They took care of me while mommy and daddy went to a wedding. The following day we all went out to a lobster lunch. The food really smelled good and it made me rethink this whole formula thing. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out on eating real food. Mommy catches me staring at her while she is eating something that looks especially delicious. I can't wait! The weekend after Nonna and Papa Coach's visit we hit the road again and went to Long Island for two reasons. The first was to go to Aunt Erin's bridal shower. I was the only boy there...lucky me! Mommy had a great time meeting everyone. It got us even more excited for Aunt Erin and Uncle Dan's wedding in January. After the shower we spent the night with Aunt Shannon, Uncle Matt and Lorelai. It was fun to see where they live and meet their new dog, Lady Bird. This past weekend, mommy and I went out for brunch with her friends Elizabeth and Meg. Again, I'm rethinking this whole formula thing!

During the weeks, I spend a lot of time in the baby bjorn. Mommy is the assistant coach for the Beverly Girls Cross Country team so we go to practice every day. How lucky am I to spend two hours a day with 27 girls! They are all really good runners. They are undefeated so far. I think I'm their lucky charm. I am getting bigger every day. I smile all the time and I'm drooling...I'm trying SO hard to get a tooth so I can eat real food. Mommy told me it would be a few more months but I don't think I'll be able to wait that long.

Look for more pictures in the next week or so.

Love, Oliver
