11 months!

11 months? Really? My sweet little munchkin just keeps growing up and there's nothing I can do about it! I can't believe this is the last monthly photo before he turns 1! Olson is full-on active now. He is a super fast crawler, and loves to pull up on whatever he can, including Lilly's head. Some of this month's highlights include: eating anything and everything, hair long enough that it needs some maintenance, lots of splashing in the tub, cutting his first upper tooth this week, a new love of playing with empty boxes, climbing the whole flight of stairs (with adult supervision, of course),  rolling his ball back and forth (sort of), going to Grammy's for dinner, moving up to a size 4 diaper at night, and still loving to be outside! He is a true boy and quite inquisitive, especially when it comes to trucks, bobcats and backhoes! And yes, his sign does say 'Go Cards'. :)

Happy boy!

Yep, I'm 11 months!

Bedtime with Dad and Mr. Groggy

Splish Splash

Olson has always enjoyed bath time, but recently he has really started to embrace it! While he usually plays with his squirt toys, now he sits and splashes like crazy! He loved splashing in the pool, so I'm surprised it took him this long to figure out he can do the same thing in the tub. I could watch him splash for hours--his squeals of delight and sweet smiles are amazing.

A weekend with Grandpa & Grandma

Dad and Rosemary flew in for the weekend, and Olson was happy to see Grandpa and Grandma! They had a lot of quality time with Olson, and we saw a few sights in Raleigh. Sunday we popped into the history museum, which was actually quite interesting! Olson found it incredibly interesting...

I love museums

Dad really wished Olson was awake for this

Fun with Grandma!

Olson did wake up to enjoy the open space for some crawling!

And for some reason he really liked "kissing" the floor...

Cuddling with Grandpa

Thanks for visiting, Grandpa and Grandma! We can't wait to see you again in November! We love you!

Play Date!

 I can't believe we're already approaching the middle of September! I'm overdue on posting about Olson's fun play date with Caleb over Labor Day weekend! Olson loved playing with all of Caleb's fun toys, and was especially enamored with the magic that is....

Bubbles!

The boys loved them!

More bubbles please, Mr. Josh!

Can't wait for next time!
