half way between 0 & 1!

This weekend we had a lot of fun family time! With Mark's work schedule the weekend lasted from Friday-Monday! Yahoo! On Friday we decided to try a new park and take a picnic lunch. About 10 minutes away there is a state park, it didn't seem like much, but when we got to the beach it was beautiful! I called it the "elephant graveyard" because it looked like the scene from Lion King. It was basically tons of beautiful trees, turned into driftwood. So cool! Ollie had a fun time spending most of his time singing in his stroller. I wanted to get some pictures of him by himself, found a safe place, and gave it a try. He ended up doing great and we got a few laughs in the process. I posted a lot of pictures on Facebook. So as not to repeat and bore everyone here is a picture of scenery. 

Saturday we decided to explore some more of Jacksonville. We went to the historic San Marco Square. It was a cute area with shops and restaurants. We ate lunch, walked around, and had fro-yo! =) We also went to part of Jacksonville's downtown. It was an "artsy" district. We went to a park, on the water, where we sat in the sunshine on a huge open lawn and watched the people. Ollie got to sit in the grass. He was very interested in every blade. 

Sunday, was somewhat a lazy day. We tried out a new church, watched a lot of TV, and Facetimed with our bff couple Amanda & Andrew Griffy. =( Mies you guys. Technology is great, but every time I 'see' someone instead of just 'hear' them, it makes me sad! 

Today: Monday February 13, 2012 OLIVER FINN FOSTER is 1/2!!!! I really can't believe how fast this monkey is growing. He is too cute in every way! He has been been so interested in the world around him, taking it all in. He is also fascinated with his feet! He can be very serious and very silly. His second tooth is making an appearance, so he's been a little fussy and drooly lately. He grabs anything in his reach, so you have to be extra careful. He is also a roly poly, shape and mobility wise. =)) From the time he wakes up (7:30) to the time he goes down (6:30) he's a complete joy. I know he has a lot of reasons to be so smiley, but I'm giving credit to his nap schedule. Which he is falling into quite nicely! Since I last posted he has tried pears, and avocado. <3 <3 <3  TTFN!
