It's been over a month since I've posted any photos to the blog and I thought it was about time I put up some new pictures of Ollie.....he's just looking so cute in his little overalls and red t shirt! Ollie's now 9 1/2 months old and I can't believe how quickly that time has gone - what a cliche! He's the most delightful little baby....always smiley and super laid back. He started crawling at 8 months and now he gets around so quickly...he's just started pulling himself up to standing which is a bit scary. He says 'ba ba' all the time and 'da da' and I'm sure he said 'ma ma' the other day but I haven't heard him say it again. He doesn't have any teeth yet but he's got some top teeth that are just about through....any day now which worries me because he's also just started biting me - YOUCH!
We wrapped Ollie in a muslin wrap from birth and weaned him off it at about 4 months, when he started rolling. I unwrapped 1 arm at a time and then just wrapped him around his middle. In the end I'd just give him his wrap to go to sleep.......anyway, he feel so deeply in love with his beloved wrap that we still give it to him to go to sleep. It's just gorgeous when we lie him down in his cot - he gets so excited about seeing his wrap - he grabs it and rubs it over his face and rolls around with it before falling asleep with it clutched in his little hand - I love it!
Ollie loves his bath time with big brother Jett - he gets so excited while we're undressing him - his arms and legs flap about and as we carry him to the bathroom he twists his little head around the corner of each room in anticipation of seeing the bath....with Jett splashing around in it. He sits in the bath, splashing about, having toys snatched off him by Jett and also having cups full of water poured all over him (again, by Jett).
Ollie's favourite toy would have to be some toy eggs that Anney gave Jett - they came in a plastic egg carton and there's 6 eggs that all have a shape on the bottom that fit into the carton. His favourite little game is to wait for us to put all the eggs in the carton and then he flaps his arms about until the eggs are all out, spread around the room in a 5 metre radius!
