Granny Colleen has been in town over the past week so we've had a busy week spending time with her - eating out, playing with the kids and, most importantly, celebrating Mikayla's 1st birthday! She had a pizza party last Saturday which was lots of fun :)
Mikayla and Oliver spent a lot of time playing together this week which was fun to watch. Mikayla is far more sociable than Oliver and is quite willing to play with anyone else whereas Oliver is a bit on the clingy side so it was nice to see him interacting with her. We went to the toddler playtime in St Louis Park again on Wednesday morning and this time Oliver was much better and had a lot of fun playing with the toys. I think it helped that there were only a few children there when we arrived so he wasn't quite so overwhelmed.
We also took Oliver to play at Ridgedale Mall and he probably played for an hour. He's started running which is so funny to watch - you'll see on the video below :) There is also a video of him taking a tumble off the slide but he was absolutely fine! He's also taken to drinking from a straw although this means that Jon or I spend half of our meal holding the cup for him so he doesn't shake it all over the place! He thinks he's pretty clever though.
One other new thing this week is that Oliver got a sound out of his harmonica for the first time! Should we be grateful or not I ask myself??!!
I'm sure there is other stuff I am forgetting to write but I'll sign off now with the pics and videos from last week.

Story time with Daddy/Uncle Jon
One of Oliver's favourite things to do is tip all the Lego out of the box and use it as a hat!
The cool dude found a new game to play - going in and out of Granny's room!
