oliver turns 15 months old

We headed to Charlotte and Oliver's favorite local park to catch some shots of our 15 month old boy. With all of the busyness in the last year of moving, building a house and Melissa starting a new job, it is hard to look back and believe that's Oliver is this big. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago that we lived in Virginia and we brought Ollie home from the hospital to our little rental house so he could live in our closet. He is such a big boy now and his personality and manuerisms expand day by day. This morning I taught him how to close his eyes and stick out his tongue. He's a bit like Charlotte in that he really hasn't said too many words yet, but he understands many words and listens really well. We are looking forward to the summer months so we can have more fun outside and see out little boy continue to grow. Now feast your eyes on these...

11 months for ollie

This has been an exciting month for us and Oliver. He continues to be a happy little boy, but now our happy little boy is walking all over the place. Now that it happens a lot more often I'm sure we'll have some video up here pretty soon. Ollie also is the proud owner of 7 teeth and he continues to use them to eat just about anything that he can get his hands on. He is getting harder and harder to pin down to take these pictures. He just doesn't want to sit still for any period of time. We are getting excited as we plan for Ollie's first birthday next month and can't wait to celebrate the first year of his wonderful life. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

10 months

Oliver James is now 10 months old! He is growing up so fast and we can't believe how quickly he is becoming a sweet little boy. His loves are Charlotte, the dogs, his mommy and daddy and food. We are now giving him table scraps as we call them. Basically he eats whatever we eat. I personally was also happy to see him take to Chick-fil-A nuggets so well. Charlotte only recently started liking them so I was delighted the first time we presented him with some nuggets and he devoured them. He can put away 2 nuggets pretty easily. He is a smily kid as long as he's not getting his finger pinched in a drawer. His exploration has started to get him into a little bit of trouble but most of the time he just crawls around and plays all day. We hope you enjoy these couple of pictures and a video of his newest and most favorite trick...crawling up the stairs.

9 months of cuteness

Glad you stopped by to check out our little cutie. This kid just keeps getting cuter every month and I know I a bit biased, but how can you not agree? We were remembering how we were excited that Charlotte was just able to sit up for her 9 month pictures in front of the christmas tree. Ollie is all over the place and will probably be walking here before we know it. His personality is really starting to come out and he's just started clapping and dancing when music is playing. He is obsessed with watching Charlotte and the dogs and as soon as he gets a few more teeth we're excited about introducing more foods into his diet. Thanks for stopping by. We hope Ollie brings a smile to your face the same way he does us.
