My TV Debut!

Well, sort of. Grisha, the owner of Ahimsa Dog Training, where I work, was on a local TV show this morning. She was demonstrating behaviors with puppies, and I was the one to swap puppies with her for each trick. Oliver came with me and hung out in the green room and dressing room while I was on stage.

Trip to the Park

Since we've been having the most gorgeous spring weather up here, we decided to take Oliver to the park for the first time. The park is just a block and a half away. We played on the swings, in the sandbox, and on the slide!
Here's a video of his first swing and some pictures:

Oliver's First Airplane

Great Grandma Binny insisted that we get the airplane we saw at the consignment store last weekend for Oliver, so Nick and I went to pick it up this afternoon. Nick can't wait to modify it and add a motor. Here's a short video! As you can see, Oliver is already having fun in it!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Grandma's Visit

Grandma came to visit this weekend! It was a short trip, but we had lots of fun and took lots of pictures!

I talk a lot! Just like Mommy and Grandma!

Month 5 Video

It's a little long because I had a lot of footage this month.

5 Months!

Oliver is 5 months old today! Pictures, video, and update coming soon!

Turbine Fun

Jim's brother Tom is visiting from Wisconsin this weekend. The reason for his trip? He needs a jet engine for a hoover craft he's building. So on Friday, Nick joined Jim and Tom to Turbine Fun, a guy who sells aircraft turbine engines for the use of fun stuff. Here's a video of the engine Tom is buying. To me, it's not particularly interesting, especially after watching the engine run for more than a few seconds. But the guys must find it fascinating because they've watched the video more than 20 times already!

Shoulder Rides

Shoulder rides from Daddy are one of Oliver's favorite things right now!

Ready to go!

Holding on tight!

This is so much fun!

Does this hurt?

That's better!

The dismount

Do I have to come down?

I love to grab his face

Aww!
