Later that afternoon we had a party with his cousins, Penley and Adali at Grammy's house

Happy Birthday Ollie!

Got a new tool box and tools, the hammer is his favorite

 

Daddy pushing him in his new wagon/walker, he loves it!

 

The next morning he's already pulling himself up to standing.  I see walking in our future, maybe sooner than later.  Go Ollie!

 



Happy Halloween

Ollie's first Halloween was so much fun!  He enjoyed all the costumes, candy and decorations.  On the actual day of Halloween we had to spend it at home due to a 3 day snow storm.  The county postponed all Halloween activites until Friday because of the weather.  So Wednesday we did a little Halloween at home and Thursday went our to a friends house.

Lobster costume that was his cousin Wells when he was only 5 months old. 

He wasn't really loving the head piece, just wanted to take it off and eat it



Ollie's First Halloween!

Wednesday we went trick or treating at Aunt Marsha's house

Not a great picture...But he looked so cute in his owl costume

Friday night at Trunk or Treat in Banner Elk.  Some of Ollie's girlfriends!

Park Time

Ollie is one lucky kid!  He gets to go to the park all the time! Sometimes we meet up with friends and other times is just a family outing.  Either way, Ollie loves going to the park!

Banner Elk Park

Ollie's girlfriend, Campbell, came out to play

Happy Fall Y'all

This week in the mountains we have had such perfect fall weather.  The leaves are in full color, the days are mild with cool mountain breezes and the nights are just cold enough to turn the heat on.  Yesterday Ollie had a fun fall day outside.

Play in the leaves

Fun on the neighbors swing

"I love to swing!"
