First Time Holding Baby Oliver




 This was taken last friday night, Oliver was seven weeks old then, just sound asleep here. He was 3lbs. 12 oz., love his little outfit with the animals on it.  Just peaceful.
 My son Chris holding his son, a very special moment.  Oliver always has one of  his feet out one on top of the other.  He never woke up that night, just out of this world after he was fed.
 Here I was holding him, you can really see his kind of strawberry blonde hair and eyebrows, my husband has this color hair, the rest of us are dark headed.  Both of my sons were born dark headed and then turned blonde and then back to dark.  I hope Oliver keeps his blonde hair, just adorable.  Looks like his father.
My first time holding Oliver, my mother-in-law asked me how he felt, I told him he felt lite, just so tiny.
One of my favorite pictures of Oliver, love the owl hat, Brandi loves owls, she collects them.  This picture of Oliver reminds me of my father, over the years I have pictures of dad would be asleep sitting up with his mouth open.  Going back tonight to hold him again, hoping he will be home sometime later this month.  Just wanted to share a very special evening I spent with my son and grandson.  Its been a long week, closed out the booth, had a migraine, worked, and started working on fall sewing projects, hope to have a weekend of sewing and being with the kids.  Everyone have a safe and happy holiday.  Vicky

  1. What better way to start my morning ... seeing such sweet pictures of a new life with so much hope and potential. I feel as if I know little Oliver already as I have had him close to my heart since I read of his early entrance into the world. Just a bundle of love! I too love the last picture. He is a doll. Enjoy spending time with him. Hoping for a soon release from the hospital. Happy Fourth to you and your family.

  2. Vicky, it gave me goose bumps seeing you hold that precious little boy. I remember that with Gabe a few months ago. He is a whopper now. Praying he gets to come home soon.
