So, Ollie's been walking for about two months now and it's been lots of fun. We notice that he kind of picks his feet all the way up and marches a bit. And when he's gotten into something he shouldn't have he high-tails it out of there to try and outrun Mommy or Daddy. He'll need a bit more speed before he can pull that off. Here is a video compilation of some Ollie Walkin'!

While Mommy and the boys were at Grandma's house over the weekend, Daddy got lots of stuff done. He moved the sandbox from the side yard to the backyard and filled it with some new sand.

When we returned home Orion was anxious to go out and play in the sandbox. Ollie was pretty excited about it too. But when it started to look like it would rain, Mommy had a rough time extracting everyone. Here is a picture of Ollie in the newly located and filled sandbox! Fun!!!

5/2/08 - OLLIE LOVES THE OUTDOORS

Our life is down to a pretty refined routine. Usually in the morning we either hang and play at the house or go to a therapy appointment for Orion.

Then after lunch Ollie takes a nap, wakes up, has snack, plays for about 30 minutes and then his favorite moments of the day arrive....waiting outside for the bus to return with big brother. He knows this time is coming shortly after his snack time. He loves being outside!

He usually senses it's time and he goes and gets two shoes. They may not be matching or even belonging to him. It could be one Mommy shoe and one Ollie shoe. Regardless, he brings them to me. Then he brings me his coat which he calls "coe". Then if I still haven't gotten the hint that he wants to go outside he runs over to the front door and bangs on it and tries to reach for the door knob. Once he figures out how to open the door it's all over!

Anyway, come rain or shine we play out in the front yard and wait for the bus. He digs in the dirt, tries to pluck up Daddy's beautiful tulips, and shoves pieces of leaves and plants in his mouth. Then he staggers around on the concrete walk making Mommy a nervous wreck. It's not really a relaxing time for Mommy but it's the best time of the day for Ollie so it makes it all worth it.
