Stop That Train!!!!

Last weekend, Ollie did something everyone who's ever ridden the subway wants to do but can't—pull the emergency break!

Luckily, we were at the Transit Museum instead of on a real train, so he didn't get arrested.

He loved cruising up and down the old subway cars. Then Papa showed him what a great sound the seats make when you whack them, and that was good for 20 more minutes of fun.

 

He didn't foam at the mouth, but he sure did seem to be on his way to becoming a little transit geek.

It Must've Been the Lasagna

This is Oliver at his "weigh-in" this morning. He's a feather-weight, but still healthy! At our last appointment the doc told us we needed to fatten our boy up. So after a month of lasagna, croissants, and mandarin oranges, Ollie weighed in at 16lbs 13oz! He gained a whole pound and 10 ounces in just one month! Way to go Ollie!

(By the way, that sign is pointing at the bucket behind the exam table, not at the babies.)

Chrazy Christmas

In order to actually and finally post our pictures from christmas without even further delay, I'm not going to put any captions on these pictures—we'll just let the adorableness speak for itself.

He Loves Watching Videos with Papa

Garfield

Papa's new nickname for Ollie is Garfield—both of them are avid lasagna lovers. But Ollie is probably way messier...

6 little peas on a couch

mama says she knows she still has to post christmas pictures, but how is she supposed to have time to go through 500+ pictures when she has to take me to all my playdates?

fridays are my favorite days—i get together with a bunch of my friends at one of our houses. last week there were 6 of us, all at zadia's house! it was madness.

this is zoe and me.

this is emmett.

this is alexandra.

this is me getting ready to steal elodie's toy.

this is me stealing zadia's toy.

this is me wondering why elodie and zadia always seem to run away from me.

this is all of us. and no, mama didn't photoshop this picture... with just a little baby wrangling, we all actually sat on the couch for at least one second without crying, falling, crawling off, or grabbing each other's hair or toys.

10 Months!

No, we have not time traveled, Oliver actually is 10 months old today. We can't believe it either.
