Beach trip aka excuse to dress baby in cute stuff.

This past weekend we went for a brief visit to see my sister Mandy and my mama in Fernandina Beach, FL. We enjoyed a great mini vacation complete with beach walking and taking Oliver in the "big boy" pool for the first time! He loved it, but unfortunately, there are no photos of that cuteness as both mama and dada were in the pool with Ollie.

 Babies are just like us, sometimes they look a little ridiculous when they first wake up...

 Ollie loved waking up and playing on the patio overlooking the beach in his new walker!

 He enjoyed walking on the beach, but didn't even make it long enough to put his feet in the water. The rhythmic waves put him right to sleep!

 Here he is playing with his current favorite toy.

 This one is not from the beach, but it's cute and I couldn't help myself...

Adventures!

Ollie has had lots of adventures lately! First, he made a LONG drive to Alabama to visit his grandpa at the lake. He loved being in the water and just chillin' in his raft as seen below. He also enjoyed leisurely swims in his kiddie pool followed by some swinging and deep thinking!

Upon his return home, Oliver wanted more excitement, so we headed to the Tallahassee Museum to see what we could see. And see we did - lemurs, piggies, owls, and all sorts of other creatures! He loved it :) Sorry there are no cute photos of Ollie seeing said animals as I was holding the baby and Matt only takes photos upon request...

He's got the beat.

This baby LOVES to drum. On anything. At any time. He drums on our tile floor, the side of his crib, any table he is placed in front of, actual drums, frisbees, pots, bowls, mama, daddy - you name it, he thinks it is his drum. Just a few pictures from the last week of him jamming.

It is silly, but I think his favorite "drum" is this frisbee from our credit union. Goof.

Side note: think he's a lefty?

Welcome to my new blog!

 

Welcome to my new blog! I decided that the people of facebook might be getting a little tired of looking at my son Oliver and might be suffering Oliver Overload! So, I thought that a blog might be a good way to post pictures and short blurbs about the life and times of little Ollie for anyone who is interested. I recently got a new DSLR camera that I am slowly (very slowly) learning to use, so please bare with me as I figure it out.
