Happy 8 weeks Ollie! This is a bittersweet week because I'm officially back to work tomorrow, May 6th. You won't be starting your real daycare for a few more weeks so "Pa" (Grandpa Whitehouse) will be helping out and I'll be doing a lot of my work from home. I'm glad I don't have to leave you all at once! Speaking of work, I brought you into my office to visit some work friends a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting to say the least - you managed to scream on each floor, and we were even shushed, but it was so fun to show you off! ;)
You had your first sleepover two weekends ago - with your friend Jackson Link. After all of our griping about your little attitude problem, you were an angel. You slept all evening and into the night - thanks for giving us a little break...we needed it! Lucky for us, your "Ama" (Grandma Whitehouse) has also given us many breaks over the last few weeks. She was your first babysitter ever, and you've now become a regular part of her week.
We took your first road trip to visit Grandma & Grandpa Hormann in Cedar Rapids this past weekend. We had to buy a new car top carrier in order to haul all of your stuff, but the trip was a success! You slept almost the whole way there but the way home was another story - we stopped 5 times on our 4 hour journey!!! You spent a lot of time with Grandma & Grandpa, and also met your Great Grandpa Everett and Great Grandma Naida, along with cousins, aunts, etc. You're a lucky boy to have such a nice, big family!
You had your 8-week checkup with the Pediatrician yesterday. Your stats are impressive! You got a clean bill of health and were VERY brave during your shots - you didn't make a peep, just stared up at the lights and grinned at the nurse. You're wearing 3-6 month clothes now and are growing so fast - you are becoming quite the little man!

I can't believe how big he is. He looks just like Aaron, even the nose. He is super cute, and sounds like things are calming down a bit for you. I can't believe you already have to go back to work, that sucks, but I'm sure it will be nice to get some kind of routine down.
Haha...I love the first road trip story! I think everybody has one. For us, it was an eigth hour (normally 5 1/2 hour) trip to Rockford. Good times...(insert very sarcastic smile here.)
