Welcome to the Royal Texans Blog

The Royal Texans blog is all about our family and the people we love. It's a little crazy being a Mommy of two lil' guys, but I eventually post everything so check back often for updates on Oliver and Miles!

The chubbiest little baby I ever had! :)

I was trying to put Miles to sleep and I needed to set him down for a second to go get something, so I propped him up so he could see Oliver and be happy. Go figure, he fell right asleep! :)

video of him sleeping! Too cute!




He is long and chunky

Look at that Buddha belly!

Oliver LOVES construction!!!

The City of Plano was doing some utility work in front of our house, so naturally Oliver was in Heaven. :)

Oliver's first day of preschool

To say that Oliver was excited for preschool would be an understatement. He has been ready for preschool for quite some time. He happily posed for these pictures this morning. And, he was not even sad when I dropped him off. I'll miss my little preschooler! However, I am very happy for him to start this stage of his life.

Happy 33rd birthday to me! :)

I had a great birthday with my guys. Oliver made me this card that I just adore. The picture is of me running to help Miles in his bouncy seat, and Oliver (in blue) is holding up a red stop sign to show me where to stop. LOVE IT! :)

Oliver also made me a cake. I measured all the ingredients, he did the rest. It was yummy and it may be my favorite cake ever! :)

snack time

We don't usually offer snacks to Oliver because we have found he isn't hungry at meal times if we do. This is one occasion where he asked for M&M's and cashews as a snack and I gave it to him. He stood there in the corner of the kitchen and ate the entire thing. He acted as if he thought I might take them away if he moved. That, or they were so good he couldn't concentrate on anything else! :)

Miles on the boppy

Oliver can't resist Miles down on the floor. I have to actually distract him with something else so I can take a picture of Miles' face. :) I love it! :)


Bunny & Piggy's Cafe and Cooking Show

Oliver & Clayton have a standing game they play every weekend morning called Bunny & Piggy's Cafe and Cooking show. This has been going on since Oliver first started speaking. It started out with Tigger, but morphed to Oliver's favorite stuffed animals over the years. On the show, they cook a variety of things such as casseroles, pumpkin muffins, cakes, vegetables, almost anything we have had recently. They often have guest hosts like garbage men, or airline pilots whom Oliver happily boops himself into character. They have commercials for American Airlines and they even have a studio audience consisting of me and most recently Miles. I am sure I have captured it on video before, but never have I added it to the blog. It is so cute, I just had to share.

This is a video of the introduction

Here is Oliver with Bunny & Piggy -- His loveys

Miles and Oliver hanging out in the crib


I guess they aren't exactly hanging out together in this one. Oliver was sleeping when I went in to get him and I thought it would be cute to lay Miles down next to him. Miles almost got rolled on when the camera flashed and Oliver woke up. Don't worry though, he was okay! :)

Miles' weight check

July 27, 2010

I took Miles to the hospital where he was born for a weight check today. At three weeks, he still wasn't up to birth weight. At five weeks, he weighed in at 9 lbs. 3 oz., so he gained 18 ounces is two weeks. We are very pleased with his weight gain and will continue to both breast feed and supplement with formula whenever he doesn't seem satisfied. When we arrived home, I placed him in his crib while I washed Oliver up for lunch. When I went in to get him, he seemed very content checking out his bedroom.

Here is a video of Oliver and I talking to Miles

On another note, I thought I should finally post some pictures of his room since it is almost done. His furniture is Espresso (really dark brown) and his bedding is blue and brown and the theme is stars.

I have curtains to hang, but I keep buying the wrong curtain rod. Someday they will be hung.

Mommy & me

I had Clayton snap a few pictures of us since my make-up was actually done this day. I think these ones turned out really well.
