Impromptu photo shoot on the front porch

Holden & Oliver

Grace and Holden came over recently to play Slip n' Slide with Sophie Lu, but Holden kept coming over to say hi to his little buddy Ollie! Ollie adores him just like his big sister does! See Sophie's blog for the Slip n' Slide photos...

Ollie's 1st time in the swing!

I don't know about this, Sis... You pushing me? I'm a little concerned...

Come on, Ollie Baby... it will be okay!

I'll give you a kiss...

and a hug...

and soon you'll be on your way!!!

It's fun, see?

Ollie... say "Weeeee!!!!"

"Weeeee!!!!" You are right, big sis... this IS fun!!!

Notice anything new?

.............Anyone notice anything new and different about me??

No, silly! Not my new growing-in "Chickie-fuzz"hair! Something else!

............v....... See one of them right there? Look closer...

See? Right there! My two new teeth! No, they didn't grow in the middle like my bottom two... they are the two outside teeth! My mommy has never seen such a thing!

She calls them "nubs". Actually, she calls them "Draccy nubs" because she they make me look like a cute little Dracula!

....................So don't make fun of my hair anymore, okay?

Or I may have to punch your lights out! (just kidding of course) :)

................Alright, Mom... no more pictures of the "nubs"!

Dr. Lu & her Ollie Babies!

Oliver had his first appointment with the doctor a few weeks ago! He weighs 21 pounds and is 50th percentile in both height and weight! The doctor says he is perfectly healthy!

Sophie's Ollie Baby got a check-up too! And Dr. Lu brought her entire medical kit to the appointment!


I like this photo of Michael kissing Oliver while he's being examined... Ollie's daddy is very protective of his baby boy!

Meanwhile, Sophie Lu made her Ollie Baby say "Ahhhh", then she gave him a shot in the mouth!

.

She gave her brother Ollie a shot too... just to show him that the real shots wouldn't hurt too much!

,

And while the doctor gave Ollie his shots, Dr. Lu gave her Ollie Baby some shots too!

Then, "Dr. G" showed Dr. Lu how to properly measure a baby's head circumference.
,

But she didn't need any help at all checking Ollie Baby's heart! According to Dr. Lu, his heart says, "Boom".

Dr. Lu doesn't work for free though! This visit, she earned a Twix bar and a hug from "Dr. G"!

Happy Father's Day! (very late post)

One of my favorite photos of Daddy & Ollie! (Taken in the pool in Guatemala.)

Brothers!!! Ollie and Mikie were so cute together! We framed these two photos for Michael on Father's Day- :)

Ollie's First 4th of July!

Like my American flag shorts? My mommy couldn't wait to put them on me! She says I'm cute!

My sister laughs when Mommy does silly things to get us to smile. But me? Nope. I'm going to be very serious (I want to see how goofy she will get just for one of my cute smiles!)

Mommy thinks Sophie's cheers will get me to smile... but no luck!

Okay, Mommy... one smile for you! Awww, too bad the pom pom was in the way (ha ha ha)!!!

She is a pretty good cheerleader...

Don't you think so?

.............Hmmm.... maybe I'll think about smiling.... Should I?

Oh, that last cheer was so good- I don't think I can hold in my smile any longer!

A smile for you at last, Mommy! I just couldn't help myself! I hope you are satisfied, because...

Now I'm going to eat leaves!

Homecoming Photo Shoot Attempt #1

Yes, taking photos of two children is MUCH more difficult! It's usually so easy to get Ollie to smile- he is the happiest, most smiley baby.... but for some reason, I could not catch any photos of both of them smiling, and Ollie was looking very serious! I'm going to try to get some good Fourth of July photos, so wish me luck! :)
