From the little camera

Well, since  it is much easier to get the photos off the phone, I've only done posts with my phone pictures lately. But I had reason to get photos off the little camera so here are some new pics from different events over the last month or so.

First we have playgroup. Our ward did a little preschool playgroup every Thursday until two weeks ago. I'm not going to lie, I kinda miss it. It was nice to get to go hang out with the other moms and for Oliver to practice playing with other kids. I also think it helped him to enjoy nursery a little more. The second to last activity included tracing Oliver and taking some of his stats. He was really good at laying still while I traced half of his body and I did the coloring in since Oliver wasn't interested. He was pretty proud of his poster when we got home and gladly posed for these photos.

 The next event was the extremely long graduation of my oldest niece, Aurelia. Yep. She is 18 and soon will be off to college (which I think she thinks can't come soon enough).

 I try to actually do some of the things that I pin on Pinterest. This activity was playing with shaving cream. I got some at the Dollar Tree and Oliver definitely loves it. Although he does smell strongly of shaving cream afterwards. It was perfect to do it out at the farm in the water table for easy clean-up.

 Grandpa has been busy mowing almost constantly to try to keep the grass at bay.

 That same day Oliver discovered taking pictures and liked to pose for them, so here are a few of those.

I have been wanting to go blueberry picking for a while now and we finally made it out. Turned out that the day that we went was SUPER hot as you can tell by Oliver's red cheeks. We (Oliver, me, my mom, and dad) went again about a week later and it was perfect overcast breezy cool weather. Plus I thought to bring a stroller so I didn't have to hold Oliver after two minutes. It was a much more successful picking that time. Turns out that Oliver prefers blackberries to blueberries although he likes them both. Luckily, blackberries are everywhere right now so we have had a constant supply just by going outside.

 This one I couldn't get Oliver to hold still, but it is just documenting the first time he put on his shoe by himself. He has done it several times since and only about 30% of the time puts the shoe on the wrong foot. Pretty proud of him :).

And that's it for now.
