Mum in Saudi

My Mum came in to visit and meet Oliver on November 6th. We were all very excited to see her. Lily has been enjoying having Grams around, someone else to pay attention to her. Oliver loves his Grams, he has found a special spot on her to rest and fall asleep. Mum says that the grocery shopping is a lot better than it is in Angola, and we have been out and about trying to get a few things for her to take back to Angola.

Oliver is doing really well, he is growing and changing every day. He stays awake for longer stretches of time, and he lifts his head up really well. He would love to sleep on his tummy if we let him, which I do sometimes during the day. He is sleeping pretty well at night, for the most part, we have our hitches sometimes, but we do manage to get sleep at night. Lily is still doing good with Oliver, she tries to give him hugs and I let her get close and touch him. She tends to go for his face, which can be a problem, we are working on the concept of gentle, but that doesn't always get through. Lily now has 8 teeth total, she is growing, and getting smarter all the time. The last few days she hasn't really been herself, which is hard because she can't tell us whats wrong.

Greg took a trip to Bahrain last night with some buddies, and they are playing golf today, I hope that he had a good time over there enjoying a little bit of freedom.
