Ollie & Mama had a fun visit from our old friend Chris. Ollie especially loved playing with his new buddy!
Ollie decided to start walking just in time for his first birthday! This is Ollie practicing with Mama and Daddy.
Extreme Baby-Jumpstering
More Walking! Yes...he's getting the hang of it!!! We love seeing him wobble around the apartment, showing off his new skill!
Another fun study break with Sean.
Crazy hair guy.
Pushing around his toy box was a favorite acitivity of Ollie's for a while...while he was getting ready for the big transition to walking. Every once in a while, he needs a little help from Daddy to get un-stuck.
Our little rebel got his first tattoo. It's a recycling-guy bottle. Pretty hard core.
Check out Ollie's pipes. Nice.
Our little teddy bear.
Happy Halloween!
After many, many, many failed attempts over the past few weeks...we finally got a couple of family photos.
Ollie tries to escape Mama & Daddy as they chase him with his teddy bear outfit.
Ollie thinks it's funny to climb and crawl into little spaces. What a goofball!
Ha ha! Ollie wasn't exactly sure he wanted his picture taken. Why is he sooo cute even when he's pouting?!
His mood changed as soon as he started clapping!
Ollie loves wearing sweaters knit by Aunt Jennifer.
Playing outside on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Hmmmm....Ollie was making music and babbling one morning while Daddy was sleeping. He must have been really tired because Ollie didn't wake him up!
This is Ollie's new "I'm frustrated" noise. We love how he communicates to us!
This is the adorable smile we get to wake up to every morning. Ollie's started waking up earlier and earlier. He just sits in his crib talking and talking...and talking. It's so sweet. It makes sharing a bedroom very interesting--and those early mornings not quite so bad!
Our little pudgeball dressed and ready for church. So handsome. 
Ollie LOVES to clap. (And, we love it, too!) He claps while he's eating, while riding in the car, when we say goodmorning to the bus driver, when Mama or Daddy gets home--seems like just about anytime is a good time for clapping!
