Ollie Goes to the Zoo!

We recently took Ollie to the zoo for the very first time! I tried to get a photo of Ollie and Daddy in front of the zoo sign, but I recently dropped my little camera (not my new one which is too big to take to the zoo), and many of my photos came out blurry. But, I love the above photo of Ollie & his "do"! His hair had gotten really long, so I moussed it in a semi faux-hawk- I think he looks so cute!

Like his sister, I think Ollie's favorite part was the petting zoo. He didn't smile much but was very observant and interested in the goats!

And pulling their ears!

See the giraffes? Well moments later, a naughty group of teens decided to break the rules and feed them. The giraffes were very close to the fence, so we were able to get a photo with a giraffe right in back of us!

We had such a great time- I can't wait to take Ollie Baby back to the zoo!

About Ollie

Ollie is almost 16 months old! He is walking and running (mostly running), and is almost always smiling! He's not really talking much, but I think since he walked so early- his speech will come later. He calls me VaVa (Mama) and he is very good at saying DaDa! He is such a happy baby- really such a sweet boy!

He recently had his 15 month checkup, and he is 50th percentile weight (he weighs 25 pounds) and is 75th percentile in height! He is one big handsome boy! And he is ALL boy- I still can't believe how different boys and girls are... he is super active even when he gets hurt only wants to be snuggled for a minute and then he's off and running again! And laughing... Ollie is always laughing (he's got the cutest little laugh, too)!

We love you, Ollie Baby!!!

Ollie's Christmas shoot (& Christmas card photo)

This is one of my very favorite photos of our handsome Ollie! I just wish I coud get more photos of him! He is soooo active and quick- he doesn't like to sit still for a second! It reminds me of that old cartoon "Ricochet Rabbit" (bing bing bing) bouncing off walls- lol! I guess that makes the few photos I do get of him (and not the back of him running off) so priceless to me!

Surpisingly, the hat stayed on for a few minutes!
