Santa Cruz

Yesterday our friends invited us to a bonfire in Santa Cruz. We carpooled up with our friends John, Carolyn and Alexander (who is 5 weeks younger than Ollie). It was a gorgeous day, and we had a great time. Carolyn and I decided we need to make weekly trips to the beach since it is less than 30 mins away.

Our little family (Ollie loves sand, especially eating it)

Once we put Ollie's pacifier in he couldn't eat sand and rocks, so his second favorite thing was standing up against this tiki torch.

Holding it tight, and dancing around. His moves convinced us that if all else fails he could have a successful career as a pole dancer.

The other day Ollie fell asleep with his head between his legs, it was so funny

Oliver is getting so big! He loves to feed himself, so we are moving on to lots of finger foods. If anyone has good, healthy suggestions for us that would be great. We have done Cheerios, bananas, whole wheat bread, Gerber puffs, freeze dried fruit, etc.

Jon loves cut up cheese and blueberries. Also avacado, but careful that it's not too ripe, otherwise it gets super squishy!

Love the caption about Ollie being a pole dancer, it's always nice to have options!!! The one of him asleep with his head between his legs is awesome too! Great pictures!
