Ollie, bundled and snuggled into the sling under mama's coat. slept through most of the event


Lily shows the way to fun (though she wasn't that ino sledding on this steep a hill afterall)


getting ready to ride up the hill in the sled

here we go- up to the top.

Annnnddd... the war wound, from taking the last jump on the last run a bit high and flipping out of the tube to scrape up his face. Mama yelled shake it off shake it off on her way to retrieve him (then starting frettting when she saw blood and scrapes and what appeared to be a black and blue coming on....)


Although he went down every run by himself, and almost always hit a jump, catching some mighty air, only the last run resulted in a flipping over accident. And all caught on video by mama...perhaps some of the better video will make it online sometime

Life with Ollie

Visited the pediatrician today
I'm weighing in at 12lbs 2 ozs (right up the middle of the graph- 50% or so)
24 inches long ( about 75%)
she said I am healthy and strong and handsome, nothing my parents didn't already know ;)


I've had a cold for a while now, sometimes it makes me grumpy, but usually I'm cheerful

The smiley boy



here I am being talkative, I like to make lots of eye contact and "talk"
when I got sad the other day, my sibs pulled their chairs next to me so I could see them and they would smile and be nice to me between staring at the tv and eating bagel
sticking my tongue out us a favored pastime

valentines day baking

We baked all day while daddy was at work for a Valentines day surprise for him
the merry bakers


the chocolate cupcakes all mixed and in the pan- and Lily helped :)


modeling our cards for daddy-also homemade




triple chocolate espresso bean cookies from mama
