Rockin' and a Rollin'

Ollie is still only moving around by rolling. He hasn't quite figured out how to make his legs go yet. He usually starts out sitting (picture #1) and then ends up rolling around to get what he wants. In picture #2 he noticed Hogie and was trying to get to him. I couldn't get the pic of him reaching for him after he made it around though.

Hide and Seek?

OK, don't judge me here, but my child really enjoys having his face covered up! I spent the first few months of life freaking out about SIDS and not letting anything in his crib only to discover that he actually falls asleep best when he can smash his face into the sheet! He only h as a lovey in his crib now, and often times it is on his face! It took me a little while to accept this. If he is snuggling with me in our bed he is the biggest bed hog because he wants my pillow to smash his face into! This is his blanket to roll around on on the floor. I came back in to check on him and this was what he was up to!

Aunt Tiffer Day!

Yesterday was Aunt Tiffer Day! Our sitter, Patti, was out of town for family reasons and Aunt Tiffer watched Ollie all day! This was their first all-day adventure. She even took pictures for the blog! How fun!

Puffs

We are starting to work on some independent eating skills. If you look closely, you will see the little puff in his right hand. Banana...yum. So far he would rather I just put it in his mouth, rather than feeding it to himself. He sure does love baby food, as you can tell my the squash/corn that is all over his face! Is it too early to tell is he will be right or left handed? He typically holds the spoon in his left hand? A sign, maybe?

Big Boy!

After today's post, many of you are going to think I am nuts. We went grocery shopping at Wegmans and Ollie was able to sit in the cart!! That's right, a big boy! You may be wondering why this is such a grand thing. Well, for someone like myself who happens to be vertically challenged, adding a car seat on top of the cart only leads to.....broken displays and angry workers (I will not go into detail as to how many times this has happened). So, needless to say I was thrilled with this new found "freedom." William, however, was a wee bit embarrassed that I took a picture in the parking lot. I believe I heard some type of mumbling that mentioned ridiculous?? I didn't see the problem, and I am quite sure Grandma Stuck would back me up!

BFFs

Ollie and I had a great day today (Daddy had a golf tournament), but we didn't take any pictures. We went and had breakfast with Daddy at the club before he teed off. Then, after a nice long nap (no idea how it happened, but I'll take it!) we went to a book sale (does anybody else remember Stone Soup?? I loved that book...and we snagged it for $0.50!) and to get some ice cream with Kelli and Avery. We played around for awhile on the floor...trying to strengthen those leg muscles for crawling! We were both so tuckered out that we took an afternoon nap together. Fantastic! These pics are from yesterday. Ollie LOVES Hogan. Hogan follows him around and is constantly near him. He normally is not allowed on Ollie's blanket, but this was too cute to reprimand him. :)

Got Beer?

By the looks of these pics, one would think I wasn't feeding him enough! I promise he ate cereal, peas, and apple/strawberry/bananas! He actually enjoys baby food enormously. Daddy, of course, thinks he obviously obtained the "Kamery" drinking genes.
