So Oliver has visited Amish Country for the second time in his life. This time fully prepared to blend in! Our Amish friends made Oliver his little outfit as a baby gift. I found the hat and doll in a tourist store. I have so many more pictures in this outfit that it was hard to know which ones to post. He saw his first heifers (teen cows...) the other cows were out to pasture, a calf, mules and horses. Amish friends' 4 year old son was pulling the calves ears saying it was his birthday-though it was not so. They pulled ears instead of birthday spankings! Of course I can't send pictures of our Amish friends but we had a delightful visit and their girls just loved playing mom with Oliver. That happened last visit too. I rarely held him as even the littlest one, just a year older than Oliver wanted to hold the baby, and be just like the big girls.
Oliver is 8 1/2 months old and loves walking with someone holding his hands or belly crawling. Having the family around this week in PA. has been nice as he has had lots of walking practice. We're having a great time but lots of new people for Oliver has been a bit overwhelming on top of teething! Brad was not able to come with us and we are both missing him!

Today is his Great Grandmother's 88th birthday and tomorrow is Easter! We have so much to rejoice over! He has Risen!!!!!!
