Splash Park

We've been hitting the splash park quite often the last couple weeks. The boys love it and I can be comfortable that Oli can play without drowning himself. It's a good playdate area too. I've finally gotten to have Nicolae get together with classmates. His buddy Victor came out with us one day and of course we've gotten to see the usual suspects- Jeannette and boys, Karen and even Scott gets to come out on his lunch break.

 I love these pictures of Jeannette with Oliver. He was stealing some chicken and giving her some smiles

He's Walking!

Oliver has had awesome balance for quite a while but refuses to walk-He'd rather run. He doesn't have the coordination to be running and get so frustrated at himself but the past couple days, he's finally slowed down and begun to walk. On other notes, he's got 5 teeth now. He loves to eat and is an all around joyful baby.

Sick Baby

I feel like we've hit a milestone. At 13 months, Oliver has just gotten his first ear infection-a double ear infection. He seems to be acting a little better after being halfway through his antibiotic but I'm not so sure it will completely heal him since he still has a terrible runny nose

this is his pouty face after he got yelled at for messing with the gas burners

Carnival for Muscular Dystrophy

We went to the carnival with Jeannette and her boys on St Patricks Day. There were little games with prizes, snacks and face/hand painting. We won a raffle for a $10 at Red Mango!

Gabriel got a gator. He kept asking the girl if she knew how to make him "look madder"

Pool with Karen

We've been spending a lot of time with Karen at the pool. The boys, including Oliver, enjoy splashing around and the weather has been perfect

Fun with Zeke

We met Zeke and his new baby sister, Zora, at Morningside to feed the animals. It rained a bit and the boys had fun doing boy things, feeding the animals and playing in the mud with sticks

That weekend, we went out to their house. It's always so much fun playing outside and that day was so nice! We fed the fish at the lake, played in the kiddie pool and did sidewalk chalk
