Signs of spring

The daffodils have come and gone but there are plenty of other beauties in the yard!

Mother's Day

I had a lovely, carefree first Mother's Day thanks to my wonderful hubby. He made me breakfast in bed and took care of Oliver for the whole day (except for feeding, of course!) He also did a bbq for me and my parents. I was able to relax by the pool with mom for the afternoon and even take a nap with Oliver! Shane's family even popped by to say hello, it was a nice surprise. To finish it all off Shane gave me a star gazer lily, it is absolutely gorgeous, I'm excited to plant it in the garden!

Ham, eggs, cinnamon rolls, and OJ! Yum!

The best mom spending time with the best son!
I love being a mom!

Oliver's 6 month birthday!

OK, maybe we're just sentimental, maybe we like to eat cake too much, and its probably just because this is our first child, but we celebrated Oliver's 6 month birthday on Friday. Its hard to believe that a. this little guy has been with us for 6 months and b. that its only been 6 months! I'm sure all mothers out there know what I'm talking about. Mom and Dad came over to have cake with us and they even brought presents! They got him two extremely cute books, Russell the Sheep and Good Boy, Fergus. It was a great night and I am proud to say that I have now exclusively breastfed for 6 months! (I'm actually nursing as I type!)

Yummy tomato basil pizza for dinner!

I love my baby!

Oliver's New Trick

Two days ago Oliver started holding his chest up! He still can't roll over, but by golly I think he could get up and crawl soon! (I dreamed that he did!)

He also got his two bottom teeth in this week, but its pretty hard to get a picture of those little toothies! This was my attempt...not too successful...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA SARGENT! YOU'RE THE BEST MOTHER-IN-LAW A GIRL COULD ASK FOR!!!

you are NOT unique

There are 6,033 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Jessica Sargent

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 89 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Well at least marrying Shane made me a little more unique! The number of me's dropped by about 6,000!
Side story; When I was at BYU-I there was another Jessica Johnson in my Book of Mormon class. And she sat right behind me. It got rather confusing.

Siebach's Visit

Today our friends the Siebachs came over to visit. They had a baby boy, Carter, about a month and a half after Oliver, but we hadn't seen them since before she was pregnant! (They were living in Utah) We're really glad that they are back in the Granite State and Oliver is glad to have a new friend!

Oliver loves the camera!

The boys playing!
We had to separate them because Oliver was being a bully and wanted to smack Carter in the face (as you can see from the above picture, he's going up for a shot!)

"What are you doing way over there, Carter!?"

Obviously the whole day tired him out...he fell asleep sitting up!
