Banana Baby

I love Ollie's hair in this picture. He had just gotten up from a nap. Also, he's pretty proud of himself for finding the remote control and Daddy's phone, both of which try to keep hidden. Sneaky Ollie!

Ollie's so peaceful sitting by the bedroom window. He likes to watch the cars and people go by but gets especially excited when he sees doggies. He likes to wave out the window whenever he watches Mama go to school or Daddy go to work.

Ollie tries real bananas for the first time. He started off tentative, but now he loves them (and strawberries)!

Nine Month Old Thumper

Ollie loves to play in his little igloo tent!

Mama & Daddy like to play with fake mustaches. hee hee

Waking up with Daddy--what a great way to start the day!

Cuddles with Mama aren't so bad either!

We all took a field trip one morning to this overlook. It was so nice and peaceful.

Ollie's Cast

People have been asking for pics of Ollie's cast--so, here ya go! For those of you who don't know, Ollie experienced a buckle fracture of his lower tibia shortly after we moved into our new apartment. It was one of the scariest moments we've had as parents. We're learning earlier than most that we can't protect Ollie from everything, as much as we would like to! As you can see, it didn't slow him down much. It was difficult to get a photo of him sitting still! We started calling him "Thumper" because he likes to thump it on our wood floors.

One his favorite expressions these days--tongue out. He's like our little puppy!

Saying Goodbye

It was really hard to say goodbye to our families when it was time to return to school. Ollie is already looking forward to his next visit home. Thank you, everyone, for an amazing vacation!

Silly goodbyes with Dex and Jax.

Cling-Grip Ollie

Storytime with Daddy is so funny! This is a great book Uncle Seth and Uncle Jonathan gave Ollie. He especially loves the pop-up ostrich.

Goodbye to Artie

We said a sad goodbye to our cute, little car this summer. Goodbye, Artie. Ollie will miss you!

Ollie loves to play in the kitchen. Here, he entertains himself with a cup. (On this particular day, he also enjoyed playing with a juice bottle and cans of soda.) He's quite the little percussionist!
