Oliver is ONE!

I arrived early for the birthday party so I was around to see Damien and Jax wake Oliver for the big event. He's always a happy boy when waking from a nap, and this day looked especially cool in his board shorts.

As the crowds gathered, it was a bit confusing.

Best present of the day is a pool for the backyard. No hesitation from Oliver...wet and wild is the theme of the day.

Jax made a great banana cake with cream cheese icing...yummmmm!

This one year has been amazing.

Now heading for Oliver's first birthday!

November 2008: On my feet, enjoying my freedom!

December 2008: Cruisin' in my ride...

Christmas 2008: It's been a great year!

The Heart Bandit

A beautiful little boy with a great smile and big hugs!

January 11th will be Oliver's first birthday.

What was life like before?

Little Man growing every day

August 2008: Baby tigers keep warm during Adelaide winter!
September 2008: Food from a spoon...an interesting concept...











October 2008: This is getting fun...I can transport myself by sliding along on my belly.
Not very quick yet, but I've got a training plan...

Oliver and I had our 2nd sleep over in June and it was GREAT!
Ollie wore his 'Chris Caspar Original' striped jumper
and he looked fabulous (as you can see)...

After a few good books and some time together on the porch swing, Oliver called it a day.

This little man owns my heart.

A very nice day in April

We enjoyed some bonding time while Damien and Jackie went to the hardware store.

We talked, we laughed, we shared our shy smiles.

The Sonja hat is a good fit, but I still feel like a putz.

growing strong with a great smile!

Check out these thighs! We're finally starting to see some plumping up of this little man. These are probably the last shorts Ollie will wear for a while, as the weather is getting cooler in South Australia...finally!!!

Oliver is fabulous! He's trying to figure out the Nana creature.

She's a bit scarrier when she tucks you into bed!
