Bath time fun!

First chocolate!

Olson had his first Hershey's kiss today. I think he's hooked. After finishing it, he immediately went to the table to try to get more, then cried when he couldn't reach the tray!

mmmm, sweet deliciousness

His look when it was all gone. I think he's wondering why he hadn't had one before now.

Don't get your hopes up on having another one anytime soon, buddy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

February fun!

 I'm a little too tired to attempt to form a witty blog entry, so how about some pictures of what has been going on?

New shoes...

Cool big boy shoes!

Not too sure about them yet

Play time!

Next up...juggling!

So much to do, so little time to put on clothes

And, of course, there is a lot of going up and down the stairs!

Being 15 months is hard work!

Now that Olson has become mobile, he is on the go. All. The. Time. He would spend every minute outside if he could. Fortunately, we have had a very mild winter so far, so he has gotten to spend a lot of time exploring the outer world. We had a fun trip to Shelley Lake Park this weekend, where Olson had the 3 S's...sand, swings and slides!

Swinging is fun, but let's hit the sand!

Olson liked to slide by himself

Hanging in the sand, watching the other kids play

Made it down the big-boy slide with Daddy!

A short video of the fun he had sliding...

 A few nights this week, Olson decided he was not ready for bed, but rather wanted more playtime. Even though he had his sleep sack on, he waddled out into the living room to find his toys, Lilly, the leash or whatever. We took to calling him Morticia, as he reminded us of the way Morticia Addams walked in her tight mermaid dress. Here is a little video of Morticia, carrying Lilly's leash around (another new fun thing for him).

It's a Mommy-Olson weekend!

With Daddy in Florida on his annual golf trip, Olson and I are spending some quality mommy-son time together this weekend! We had a fun day today, starting with a nice walk with Lilly in the very chilly weather!

It may be 28 degrees, but I'm snug as a bug!

After some errands, a nap and lunch, we spent some time walking up and down the sidewalk, with a little playing in the dirt thrown in.

Showing off his teeth before we went outside

Venturing into the grass

I love being outside!!!

Walking on grass makes me wobbly!

A few breaks were taken to lie on the sidewalk. This is new.

A yummy dinner out with Aunt Carlette rounded out our fun day! But we miss Daddy and can't wait to see him tomorrow!

Hellooooo 2012!

2012 got off to a fun start with our first visit to the new and improved Pullen Park! Unfortunately the train and carousel were closed, but we enjoyed the playground and walking around the beautiful grounds. It was a lovely day, and we look forward to a trip back to ride the train and carousel.

Fun with Dad on the rocking dinosaur

Wheeeeeeeeee

Yay! I love to swing!

 We can't wait to see what other adventures 2012 has in store for us! Well, besides the big one, of course...Olson becoming a big brother!

Lilly wants it known that she declined to wear her "big sister" t-shirt.
