Good thing you're so cute, Ollie!

Oliver's odd aversion to swallowing
I took a little video of my voracious chewer/ reluctant swallower at dinner tonight. I'm hoping this is just a phase that will be phased out soon!
Happy first birthday, Ollie!
What a joy...
To watch my little cutie-snootie
Grow into such a sweet little boy!
On July 5th, Ollie's first birthday passed a little differently than Stephen's and Rockam's did because we were traveling. So, while there were no candles or homemade muffin cupcakes, we did sing happy birthday and Ollie got his first taste of chocolate cake-- which, despite his sedate expression in this picture, was something Oliver ate (and even swallowed) with gusto.
Fountain fun
After visiting the Bean, we took the boys to the face fountain (Crown Fountain at Millenium Park). I was much too busy trying to keep track of my boys as the zipped from one end of the fountain to the other to take a good picture of the faces as they "spit" a firehose of water out on the screaming Tweens who huddle under the quirky landmarks.
No, Ollie, you can't sit down here.
Eating out in Chicago
Parrino boys at Za's in Champaign IL... Sometimes we let them have a kid table.
Eating at Stone Oven's lunch buffet... Deelicious Indian food in Schaumburg. Ollie liked it too.
Waiting for dim sum in Chinatown.
It was worth the wait...
Plus, there was live entertainment.
Bowling Green Visit
Last night (June 25) we took a quick trip east to Bowling Green to visit Joe and his hosts, Scott and Brittany. They have a smiley little boy named Felix who is just a few months ahead of Ollie.
Ollie shows Felix his toy as we wait to be seated.
My squid-loving Steve.
"Yay for French fries!!"
"Yay for pizza crust scrounged from big brother!"
"Mmmmm gelato!" Moments later, rocky dropped his cup, which Scott miraculously caught upright.
Joe and I split Spumoni Cheesecake... Yes those are Rocky's sticky little fingers trying to get a second dessert.
Fun with bupps
During our trip to Chicagoland (June 29- July 5) the boys got in lots of QT with their "Bupps." We enjoyed a trip to the beach again, though the wind was too strong for sailing this time. Here Stephen shows me a rock he found.
We went to hear a steel drum performance at Schaumburg town square later that day... But the older boys were more interested in watching the ducklings.
Rocky made my dad read him dozens of books. Many of them more than once.
