I went in to wake Oliver up to go get his 1 year pictures taken and this is how he was sleeping, feet stuck out of the crib.

Oliver building with blocks, he especially likes it when other people build a tower and he gets to knock it down.

This pictures is Oliver watching out the window and if you look closely, you can see a backhoe out the window. There were 2 of them loading a huge pile of leaves into a dumptruck. I had pointed it out to the little boy I watch who was watching out the other window. Oliver looked out the other window first and then wanted down. He then went to the front window and stood and watched the 2 backhoes loading all of the leaves. He watched for probably close to 10 minutes until they were finished. He then watched them all drive away down the street and when he couldn't see them anymore, he left the window to go play. :)

Laundry baskets always make a spectacular toy.

We have been enjoying the nice fall weather. Last weekend, we raked leaves and filled 37 bags with leaves! We also took Oliver in to get his 1 year pictures taken. He did pretty good for them. He wasn't quite himself so we didn't get super big smiles. Later that night, he ended up with a fever and so I think that is what the problem was. We've spent a few days with just Oliver at home to try to get him healthy again and he seems to be doing good- no fever since Monday night. I managed to make him some new towels while we've been home. He had outgrown the baby towels quite awhile ago, but we liked the hoods... so we bought some regular towels and hand towels and I sewed them together to make big hooded towels.

I can tell I have been home with him and not able to leave, I am actually excited to get out of the house to go get groceries. Have a great day!
