We met in 2002 while we were both working at BookPeople in Austin, Texas. We got married on June 18, 2005 and now live in a small house in North Austin with our two dogs, Coltrane and Miles, and our three cats - Gnosis, Nona, and Kali. Brian works as an Editorial Assistant at the University of Texas Press and Elizabeth still works at BookPeople as a buyer and the Inventory Operations Manager.

On April 12, 2009 we welcome our first child, Oliver Mott, into our family and on February 12, 2013, his little brother, Henry Charles, joined us three weeks before his expected due date.

Sundays With Oliver - Week Forty-Nine (!)


Three more weeks left!!! Hooray! 

This was a pretty typical week in the Contine household. I went to work, Brian and Oliver hung out at home and we spent some time with friends and family. 

There are no major developments to report. Oliver is still saying his version of “dog” and has now added “ball” to his vocabulary. And, by “ball,” I of course mean he says a “b” sound when he sees a ball. He’s not big on ending words yet but he’s trying to communicate with us in some way other than screaming and that’s exciting.

The weather was beautiful most of the week so we spent as much time outdoors as possible. This is my favorite time of the year in Austin.

Here are the pictures from this week:
