Well, We Tried...

... to keep him clean. Oliver has started eating solids (mostly rice cereal) with a spoon! He always starts out clean enough as evidenced by the first picture but he quickly spirals downward into getting food everywhere. He loves, loves, loves to eat but he also really loves playing with his food. Maybe by the time he's in high school we'll have this figured out.

The Gaines Family Trip to Seattle



As you all know, we took a family trip to Seattle easter weekend and we had a wonderful time. Ever since Alex and I were little we would talk about our children becoming best friends. We could not have planned it better - Zola and Oliver are 5 weeks apart and we were thrilled that they were able to meet each other at just six months old. They are doing many of the same things, they seem to enjoy staring at each other and we definitely caught Oliver trying to hold Zola's hand! Annabel is a wonderful big sister. She had lots of kisses and hugs for both Zola and Oliver. Here are a few quick shots from our wonderful weekend:














The Synchronized Roll

We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Seattle with our dear friends Alex, Tom, Annabel and baby Zola. It was fabulous, the kids all got to meet and play. One of everyone's favorite games was the synchronized roll. Watch this video and you'll see why. We promise, it will make you laugh!
