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 Thirty-One


Lots of firsts this week. Oliver and Brian had their first night alone while I went to work the Women’s Conference in Houston on Wednesday and Thursday. They both did great and Oliver even cut his daddy some slack and slept through his 4 AM feeding (he woke up and fussed a little but was fast asleep before Brian could get the bottle ready... maybe it’s time I try to let him drop that feeding?). Oliver also cut his first tooth this week. Since the last post, we can now feel it and can see the other bottom tooth starting to come through. Oliver spent Saturday night at my parents’ house and apparently practiced his moving a lot. When we got home to take this week’s pictures, Oliver kept getting up on all fours rather than sitting still for his pictures.


I’m afraid crawling isn’t too far away.

Here are some pictures from this week, although it was impossible to keep him still so there weren’t many good ones to pick from.




  

I have a feeling that the Sundays With Oliver photo shoots are going to be a struggle from here on. There doesn’t seem to be any keeping this kid in one place anymore!
