the life of a kid...
last week i made some oatmeal & applesauce cookies- yum:) i gave one to ollie and after a few minutes, i admit i was envious. cookie in hand (and mouth) sitting on the floor watching a cartoon. i thought to myself: what a life! to be a kid again- carefree, just enjoying some cookies and watching a silly cartoon...then i realized that i was doing the exact same thing!

happiest place on earth
last month i got to go to disneyland with jill, my mother-in-law! i love disneyland! although it was extremely hot, crowded and the rides all shut down for about an hour the day we were there, it is true what they say: a bad day at disneyland is still a good day:)
we took ollie in at the end of the day and watched part of the parade and rode pirates of the caribbean- it was too crowded to do much else with him. i look forward to the day i can ride all the big rides with him. here are a few pictures from the day.

the ever-evolving, elusive nap
ollie's naps have been unpredictable and unconventional from the very beginning. i tried to keep him on some kind of schedule where he takes a nap around the same time each day- give or take and hour. and if you are one of those parents who can mange to get their kids to eat and sleep at the same time each day, i don't know how you do it! i am impressed!
somedays, like today, he just seems to be an endless ball of energy. i don't know why i even attempt to put him down for a nap on days like today, because he is not fussy until i try to stop him from playing and then he gets mad and i mean mad! he has quite a little temper and stubborn streak. i don't know where it comes from:) i figure if he is playing well and happy, why force it?
after a few hours of trying to get him to calm down and sleep, i let him be and he pleasantly played with his toys and books...then around 3:30, ollie was laying on the floor playing with one of his cars and i notice it got quiet...i look over and this is what i saw:
ollie sleeping, car still in hand.

ollie's favorite things to say and do
"words"
botty or bottu = bottle, or water
tsss = toes
shss = shoes
dada = dada:)
he is a really good mimic and it often sounds like he repeats a word if you say it to him, but those 4 words are the ones he is pretty consistent on, especially "bottu" he will ask you for it!
being outside, running, playing with his cousins, watching planes, helicopters or anything flying in the air, cars/trucks, his soccer ball, books, and golf clubs, taking all his toys/books and everything out of our kitchen cabinets, flushing the toilet, swimming...i could go on. can you tell he is one active 1 year old:)

more birthday fun
we had a little party sunday to celebrate ollie turning 1!! it was a great time with family, friends, pool, presents, and cupcakes:) not sure why the pictures keep uploading so fuzzy, the look clear elsewhere...oh well.mmm...cupcakes
my homemade banner
ollie does not like the happy birthay song.i think he cried when we sang for jonathan's birthday too.
so far ollie has just picked at his cupcake treats
gotta love frosting in the hair:)
we had ollie's dedication at the evening service after the party. i think the sign on stage says it all:)Thursday, July 30, 2009
my very first birthday!
i had my first birthday! i woke up pretty excited. as i drank my milk while watching sesame street i wondered what one does on a birthday...
i dunno about you, but here is what i did:
my grammy came down with some presents! i was excited to open them:)
what is it???
golf clubs!
look out tiger!
then daddy came home early from work and we went to target to pick out a new toy...so many to choose from
ooo..that one please!
i like this big red ball
mommy got me a cupcake, but i did not want it
the next day i decided to give the cupcake a try...and only had a couple bites because someone (mom) kept nibbling at it all day!
i'd say it was a pretty fun day...except for the part where i went to the DR and got a bunch of shots, but i won't mention that part.
