Can we try this again? I am a horrible, no good, very bad, blogging mama. Can I even call myself a blogging mama if I have yet to blog? 

With that being said, Oliver is now 15 months old. Are you kitten me right meow??? 15 months old?!? There is so much I should have blogged in the last 15 months, but I'll just face the fact that I didn't. I don't know what my reason was. I know there are many moments I will forget because I didn't write them down, but part of me just didn't want to. I shared so much on Caring Bridge when Oliver was in the NICU, that I just wanted him to myself. Yes, I shared way too many pictures on Facebook, but didn't talk much about his health, development, etc. I just wanted to soak up all the little boy I could. However I have now been inspired by blogs such as Love that Max and Life with Jack that I read, love, relate to and now wish to emulate. Both of these blogs follow sweet, wonderful, amazing, miraculous little boys with CP (cerebral palsy). When I see their smiling faces and see their little hands balled in fist or thumbs tucked in I see my boy. No, we have NOT received a diagnosis of CP. The only diagnosis we have ever received is hemiparesis of the left side which was given by his neurologist. There is a lot to catch everyone up on and I will do so in time. 

Here's my moment with Oliver today....
While sitting on the couch watching me dry my hair, Oliver inched his way closer and closer until he was finally snuggled up to me, resting. Ah what a sweet moment.
