Boys & Toys

Oliver's new scooter.

Visiting with Henry, Aunt Emily, and Opa.

Ollie and Henry had lots of fun playing with all kinds of new toys. Oliver has been the lucky beneficiary of many of his cousins Chris & Alex's old gear. We had fun watching the boys play next to each other since they don't seem to be ready to play with each other quite yet.

Ollie Walks!!!

Actually, Oliver has been starting to take independent steps since just after his birthday about a month ago. However, he now is able to get enough distance that is isn't all over by the time we power the camera on! We are very proud of him!

Scary Santa

Poor Oliver has very sensitive skin and is prone to diaper rash. We have, therefore, instituted nightly "naked time" when Oliver gets to air dry and go diaper free. He absolutely loves it. To keep him warm but free, we got him this cute robe that he wears after his bath. I absolutely love it because I think he looks adorable. Oliver would prefer not to wear it.

We visited Santa at the Ferndale Ice Festival.

Ollie was not a fan.....

.... but he LOVED Santa's reindeer....

.... and the hayride around downtown Ferndale!
