In the morning when I'm getting ready for work, I'll bring my shoes downstairs to put on when I go. When Oli sees them, he picks them up and follows me and drops them in front of me. It's so cute - they're very heavy for him, but he'll be helpful!

Sitting at the table
We haven't blogged about the boys in ages, sorry!
Today was a momentous day. We took the tray off Oli's high-chair and he now sits in at the table with us. He looked well-chuffed. Here's Oli and Marcus having their dinner tonight.

At the beach
Last Friday Shelley had to do something in town so I had to look after the boys in the middle of the day. It was great - the weather was perfect so we went down to Oriental Bay beach and played in the little park and had lunch.

Getting bigger
After a hard couple of months, things are certainly picking up. Now that Oli is over the Yersina, he is all go on the growing angle again. He's eating heaps. Tooth number nine came through yesterday and he's running (crawling) around everywhere, nearly walking (standing up lots). He is also now regularly sleeping past 5.30, including this morning when he slept to 6am - it was a sleep in for us!
A balloon day
This weekend was the annual Balloons over Wairarapa festival. Marcus has really been into seeing photos of hot air balloons, so I took the day off work and we went to Carterton to see the "Mass Ascension" at dawn. This meant Shelley and I getting up at 4.30, so we could be out of the house at 5.45. It was well worth it. We all had a ball and Marcus really enjoyed himself.

Riding the tent-train
Marcus was very excited today after Shelley came home from toy library duty. She had spotted a play-tent, in the shape of Thomas the tank engine, including the carriage Clarabel. When he's inside now, he plays in the tent and has already said his inside playing tomorrow will be in the tent.
Oli is One!
Yesterday Oliver turned one. We've gone through quite a bit lately. In December I got shingles and in January the two boys got chickenpox. I've been working far too much. In February Shelley had a really bad cold and Oli got Yersina (sp?), which is similar to campylobacter. So our health, and consequently sleep, hasn't been too great. But for Oli's birthday everyones health was perfect - we had a great day. Here's a selection of photos from the day.
Facing forwards
Last week we turned Oli's car seat around, so he now faces forwards and not backwards. It's really odd turning around and seeing two faces looking at us!

Happy Birthday Happy Marcus!
We've just opened the presents and Marcus is very happy. Train tracks, train bridges, a train activity book and a non-train kite! Our plans to go to Staglands have been thwarted by the weather, so we'll be looking for some good indoor activity later in the morning.
Right now I'm off to cook the birthday banana cake.
