I know that I haven't done the south Island itinerary yet...however, no one seems too interested as their have been no comments...I don't actually know if anyone out there in the world wide web has been bothered to read it....(except of course you MIL whom I can always depend upon!). So instead of going to great lengths on that score I thought I would update on Ollie's comings and goings. He is coming and going now...he finally decided to crawl on Easter Sunday. I suppose he thought if Christ can rise from the dead...I can rise from my belly and venture forth!! He absolutely loves his new found freedom and it is great for Adam and I. He is not really a busy body so, he just wonders around the house and investigates. His most recent find is each and every one of the doorstops that make a lovely twangy noise if you hit them just right.
We have sent out the invites to his big birthday bash which we will be celebrating down on the beach here in Goderich. I will include the winning photo which appeared on the homeade postcards which we used as invitations and then I'll show you some of the runner up photos. The one on the right side of the screen won...even though I loved the the one on the left however, it looks like he's calling the camera holder a loser (could have been his Dad was taking the photo!!).This photo below is Ollie's new wheels. He loves zooming around the house under his dad's steam. He even puts his feet up so as not to slow things down!! The other photo shows that there is still a little Irish/Newfie in Ollie yet. As you can see he has his bright yellow wellie's and he's ready for a day in the rain. These are still a bit big for him so, when I put them on it was hilarious as he was trying to stomp them off but because they go almost up to his knees he just couldn't seem to shake them!! Below here we have photgraphic evidence that it is never too young to start your stretching program. I think Nanny Banny was up and Ollie was showing her a few of the advanced Yoga moves. She is very jealous of his flexibility it seems.
Anyway, I can't believe we haven't got a picture of him crawling!! HOw atrocious. I can assure you that there will be one tomorrow. I wish that I could post little video clips as this would be better but, I can't imagine how long that may take to upload.
Now remember, if you take the time to read this...let me know with a comment...Its nice to know I am doing this for a reason.
Take care all and will post again soon.
