November

Well I have been neglecting my goal to write on our blog every month but I am going to try to be better. Our biggest news in the past month is that we were in a car accident about 3 weeks ago and our car was totaled.  We were coming home from Lucas' professor's home on a Sunday night after a dinner and get-together. We were two lights away from being home when a guy turning left failed to yield at the intersection and hit the front/corner of our car. Thankfully everyone was fine and there were no injuries... however we were all very emotional about the experience. Once we found out our car was totaled we then purchased a new car that same day. It is a 2005 Nissan Altima with about 100,000 miles on it. We are loving the car and it gets much better gas mileage then our previous car.

Oliver is doing really well.  He is seven months old now and really enjoys making noises!  He 'talks' a lot and loves making other noises.  He has a new found love of water.  He has a sippy cup and a little water bottle, both of which he loves to drink from.  Sometimes he drinks so much we have to take the drink away from him for fear of him overdosing. He is doing really well sitting up now.  He is getting up on his hands well, but hasn't started to crawl yet.  Oliver also really enjoys eating food now!  He eats broccoli, sweet potatoes, pears etc.
