Ollie is 1.5 years old in 6 days, and after being rebuked by Marisa (on several occasions) of how horrible I am at keeping up this blog, I am adding some photos from the last couple months!
Ollie B, or "B" as he is known by several of his toddler friends these days, is now deftly maneuvering all over the place, be it the playground, his highchair, or the couch (always in search of the TV remote...!). His handful of baby signs are now matched by some beginner words, and he is babbling up a storm, whether to proactively call himself out on breaking the rules ("Nooooo!" he calls out, after splashing in the cat's water bowl) or try to get me to hand him some more fruit to eat (obsessed!).
Josh and I still, daily, can't help but comment on how cute he is. We still like this kid!

| Ollie waking up in August |
 |
| He smiled (eventually) through his first black eye :-( |
 |
| We learned raw corn was an Ollie-favorite |
 |
| He gets giddy whenever his cousins are around! This was a playground break during a Rosh Hashanah dinner gathering. |
 |
| Ollie playing with his favorite "Brown Bear," and rocking a hat knit by his Nana, my mom. xoxo |
 |
| Ollie delighted in discovering his friend's house had child-sized chairs with very slippery felt pads on the bottom...! |

| Family Fall Photo Time! |

| ...trying to get a smile... |

 |
| A visit from our dad sparked another family gathering - and Ollie was a huge fan of his goofy antics! |
 |
| Playing "captain" on some friends' sailboat in Boston Harbor. |
 |
| He started looking like a real little kid, instead of a baby, when he (recently) started to love pushing his vehicles around. |
 |
| He's practicing for his sibling with some sweet kisses for his baby doll. |
 |
| Helping to scoop out the pumpkin... |
 |
| ...and trying again, and again, and again, if it tasted as good as it looked. |
 |
| Hurray for Halloween! |
 |
| A handful of his Halloween Party buddies - earlier departees included a rat, a panda, 2 lions and a stuffed animal. |

| Happy Halloween! |
