Fun at the playground


Hi everyone! Where have the past two weeks gone? Sorry for taking a while to add the next update but time just got away from me.

Oliver has been enjoying the new play equipment that has been put in at the park just over the bridge from us. It is literally a two minute walk away. He likes the swings and generally just playing in the sand over there!! But a lot of the time he just wants to push his buggy around. The other day he pushed the buggy all the way home - and the hill next to our house is quite steep!! Now he has found his feet he just wants to walk everywhere - Mr Independent! Plus we got his first pair of proper shoes a couple of weeks ago and now he has got used to them he seems much more confident. Cost a small fortune though as he's inherited his dad's wide feet :)

On Friday we went out for a playdate in St Paul. Oliver didn't quite know what to do to start with but soon started interacting with the other children. He is quite clingy at the moment so he likes to be close to me or Daddy when he's in strange situations.

The weekend has been lovely so Oliver was able to get outside to play for a bit but sadly I think that's the end of it. Today is very wet and it's supposed to get colder throughout the day rather than warmer. The autumn colours have been amazing but now they are fading and everything is yellow/brown. We even got our sprinkler system winterized over the weekend (as did most of the neighbours) so that's a sign of things to come *sigh*.

Oliver is so funny when we go to the supermarket. The other day he just laughed out loud whenever he saw another person. If anyone knows Nelson from the Simpsons his laugh was just like that - quite embarrassing but everyone seemed to take it in good humour. At least he's happy when we go shopping right??!!!

And I think we can safely say that Oliver's first proper word is "car". He says it multiple times a day, even when there is no car in sight. He said it quite a lot on the webcam to Nanna as well!! He's a true boy and likes any toy with wheels :) Til next time......


A colder morning when mittens were needed :)
