Wow, what a month!
Eric is in London now, he arrived Thursday May 28th and Oliver and I miss him alot. I am greatly looking forward to living vicariously through Eric. I kept the travel books so that I could suggest museums, theatres, gardens and wonderful touristy things for him to do like ride on the famous red double-decker buses and perhaps take a dip in the English Channel.



But back to this month, Oliver has had a big time visiting with 'lots of folks he loves and we love. We spent a week in Seneca with GrandMaddie and Grandpa Ric and Oliver definately got to live the high life on the lake. He loved swinging in his dolphin swing, taking dips in the washtub swimming pool and tasting the sand at the edge of the lake. He also got to go on his first boat ride which he would have loved if maybe his cheeks weren't so big and perhaps his neck were a little longer...see life jackets are a bit bulky, especially if you yourself are a bit bulky! Standing up worked a bit better, however it is a bit tiring for the one stabilizing our big-boned boy!

Random Updates:

Oliver is now clapping alot, and clapping for anything that happens and for anyone that crosses his line of vision.

Oliver likes to grunt and flex every muscle in his body.

Oliver can now pull himself to sitting on his knees and once he stood up! (in the washtub/swimming pool).


Oliver still will not crawl. And he and I are getting a bit frustrated at his immobility. Oh well, maybe the ocean will tempt him a bit, or perhaps his cousin Henry will.
And Oliver still enjoys a good jumping session, as well as a good peekaboo fun with GrandMaddie.


Speaking of cousin Henry, that is our next destination. I believe Oliver and I will head to the beach on Monday and get to visit Granddaddy, my sisiter and of course cousin Henry! Here we come salty air and sand in your britches!

Oliver loves the water!
