Laundry baskets and a visit from Uncle Dave...

















RAWR! It's naked time!!







































My Doctor appointment with the Plastic Surgeon went well, I don't have trigger finger, it is just a cyst that will either go away or have to get removed later when it starts to get in the way of holding on to a baseball bat and things of that nature.























Showing off new jammies from Uncle Dave












Looking forward to turning 1 in a couple of weeks and for Grammie Trish and Papa Bob to come have birthday cake with me!

































Uncle Dave was in town for a week and we had a great time with him. He and Charlie gave me my first football and the awesome fire truck that I'm riding in one of the pictures.

just a few in the gray sweat pants




Pulling up the pants, grandpa style



He's not a fan of the purple head band for some reason.

Ollie's doing great at the end of his tenth month! He's SO close to taking his first solo steps. He stands by himself when he's distracted, but the second he realizes that he doesn't have a hand on something he drops to the floor. He definitely knows how fast he is at crawling and would rather use those skills to outrun his parents rather than attempt to get away on his inexperienced feet.

This week he has another doctors appointment to check out his little trigger finger. We're not sure if he'll have to get surgery yet and are hoping that we can wait a bit longer until he's older. There's a good website on trigger finger if anyone is curious at http://www.handuniversity.com/ ... The condition is essentially swelling in the tendon on his right index finger, usually caused by repeated trauma from pistol-gripped power tools or long hours grasping a steering wheel... who knows how Ollie got it.
