Hogie's Helper

Ollie found a new fun game! He likes to grab handfuls of Hogie's food and throw it across the floor for Hogan to go and get. Hogan did get a little sick of the chase after a while..but still great fun! Aunt Tiffer thought we were crazy making such a mess, but I of course, reinforced all of the skills he was learning!

Picky, Picky..

Feeding time has become quite the power struggle these days. Ollie prefers to eat things whole and not have me cut them up into pieces. So, here he is with a WHOLE strawberry! Luckily, it smooshes (is that a real word?) or I would be freaking out! I guess the power struggles have started!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! We went over to the Ides to do some trick or treating. Ollie was Old McDonald and Avery was a chicken. They were so cute, but not that interested in pictures! These were the best we could get! Ollie's hat was a little big, so at times it looked like a sombrero. It is a little cold here so I put his winter hat on under it, which is the top picture. They liked holding the candy :)

Pumpkin Carving!

We started to carve our pumpkins (we got a little carried away at the pumpkin farm and brought home 8!) tonight. William was so excited to have Ollie help him! Ollie did try to help at first, but didn't like the guts all over his hands!

A sheep says BAABAA

Ok to make up for not posting for a couple of days...here is a bonus post! We have been trying to get Ollie to associate animals with their sounds. Well, one down...how many to go?

Trick or Treat Practice

Yesterday we met my friend, Luann and her adorable little girls, Kelly and Sarah, at the mall in Rochester. They had a trick or treat event in the mall so we dressed the kids up. It was so fun! Ollie is technically suppose to be a farmer (since Avery is going to be a chicken) but everyone thought he was Woody from toy story, so we just went with it! The hat is a little big and ended up kind of looking like a sombrero so I did a little make-shift move so he isn't actually wearing it. Luann took better pics so I will try to post those later this week.

Finally...a Fall Day!

We FINALLY had a nice fall day, so Ollie and I decided to rake a few leaves and play outside. He loves being outside! We have a huge maple tree out front (which, by the way, has William convinced it will fall and crush our house) that always dumps piles and piles of leaves in the yard. Here are a few pics of Ollie playing in the leaves. He had a good time until he saw someone walking his dogs and then he was off....
