We’re having a great time in Oklahoma so far.  Our sweet little boy did so well on both flights.  He was awake most of the time, but he did crash on my lap for about 30 minutes on the way to Vegas:

Then he napped again briefly on the flight to Tulsa:

On Friday we had a group lunch at Sonic Drive-In:

And here’s Lex bonding with his Aunt Amy:

Grandma and Grandpa bought an exersaucer for Lex to play in:

And Lex had a pool party with his cousins in the backyard:

Today we had a group photo session at a nearby park, and then we came back to mom and dad’s house for lunch and an afternoon of chatting.  Lex is currently taking his third nap (I think we’re wearing him out!) but he’s having fun flirting with all of his relatives.  Tomorrow he gets baptized by his grandpa at church.

It’s the last day before we head to Oklahoma.  In between packing and getting ready for the trip, we walked to the rose garden to soak up some sun.

The Grandparents Weaver came to town on Sunday afternoon, just in time for us to take them to the Happy Go Lucky bbq.  They’ll be watching our dogs for us while we’re in Oklahoma (we import our dog-sitters from Boise) but of course they had to come a little early to see the Lex man…oh, and Tim and me.

Here’s Lex with his grandpa:

And with Grandma:

And this is Brittan, who was throwing the bbq:

Of course no HGL party would be complete without tons of dogs:

Lex and me with my good friend Gayle:

I bought a new microphone the other day so that I could record some audio for a screencast I made for Cudadog.  If you don’t know what a screencast is you might not be geeky enough. =)  Anyway, I recorded a little audio of Laura throwing Lex around in her arms.  He really likes the rough stuff!

He has the cutest chuckles.

Boy, you can tell that we moved the computer to the basement…it’s definitely not as convenient for me to blog anymore.  But I’ll do my best to carry on!

Still no house sale.  We’ve had our two open houses and have had a few showings, but now the phone is quiet again.  Sigh…

We haven’t taken many pictures lately, but we’ve certainly been busy.  Mostly just errands.  On Thursday I got my hair cut and colored, so Lex got to spend some quality time with his dad.  The boys ended up taking a walk to the library.  Then yesterday we all ran over to Hillsboro.  I put together some meals at “Dinners Ready” and then we went shopping for a new car seat.  Lex is on the verge of outgrowing his infant one.  For now we just bought a cheaper one so we can take it to Oklahoma with us and not worry about it being “manhandled” by the airline staff.  We plan on getting a better one later.

Our son is definitely changing by the day.  He’s at a very fun age right now.  Most of the time he’s smiling and in a great mood.  But he’s also starting to resist his naps, and yesterday he rolled onto his belly and got SO mad when he was stuck by the crib bars.  We didn’t know he could be that loud!

Lex is still not eating much solid food.  We’re lucky if we get him to take a couple bites of anything.  Our pediatrician gave us the number for a specialist, and if things don’t change we’ll pursue that when we’re back from Oklahoma.  Just to make sure that there aren’t any problems due to his prematurity.

Tonight we’re going out to dinner with the Ramms, which will be fun.  And tomorrow we’ve been invited to a Happy Go Lucky get-together.  Even though I haven’t worked there for years, I still get invited to the parties.  Sweet!
