Friends, toys and Olympics!

Oliver is keeping quite busy these days. Between play dates, mall walks, breastfeeding support groups, playing at home with mom and dad and watching the Olympics - his days are jam packed!

We recently hosted a play group at our house with a few of Ollie's friends. Not all are pictured as it was nap time :) Aren't they cute?

Most of his time at home is spent playing with some of his many toys. That being said, it is ironic how much we spend on toys only to have him LOVE the stupid stuff that is either not a toy or was free!

Here he is with his trusty companion: remote.

Here Ollie poses on his play mat that he enjoys both playing on and noming. He is thankful for its presence in his life as it has prevented many concussions as he was learning to sit up on our tile floor.

 This boy just loves his old school rotary phone that was a hand-me-down from his cousins Piper and Amelia.
 Oliver loves looking at the "cute baby in the mirror" who is always doing something darling.

To date, one of his most beloved toys has been a stupid frisbee given to us by our credit union. Go figure.
 But, BY FAR, his most favorite of toys is Buckle. Buckle is attached to his high chair and Oliver is fascinated with it. I think he will be able to open and close it by the end of the month, no joke. You can ask "where's Buckle?" and Oliver will look at it. Weird.


 He also loves to chew on the straps which are covered in gross baby food at this point. Who has time to clean that?

Oliver has also been taking time to relax and watch the Olympics. We normally don't watch TV at dinner time, but we've been making exceptions for the Olympics. Here is Ollie taking in some gymnastics.

Here is Ollie after Gabby fell off the balance beam!


He keeps us entertained.

Finally, just a darn cute picture...
