Grandpa and Grandma Oler's house

We visited the Olers for a few weeks when Richelle came home from her mission and we had such a fun time! Eric loved all the attention and new things to play with.

Eric loves books, especially when he can eat them!


Every time he saw this picture of Christ he was so excited and wanted to touch it. It must bring back memories of his former home.


Strawberries, Yum!

Playing with the kitchen utensils

Eric loves to go for walks, even in the snow

His first time on the swings by himself and he loved it. He only wanted to lean forward like he was flying.

Angel's Rest

This is one of our favorite hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. It has an amazing view!
Even though it was cold, Eric was really enjoying the hike. Not only was Dad carrying him, but he got to see the beautiful scenery.

Eric Updates

Eric is 10 months old now and he is growing and learning so fast. Here are a few of the new things he is doing:

He is crawling and loves to follow me while I vacuum.

He pulls himself up on everything and tries to move from one piece of furniture to the next.

He loves to splash in the bath and play in the water.

I heard Eric squealing joyfully when he woke up from his nap and when I went in there he figured out how to pull himself up in his crib. Now the trick is trying to get him to lay down! :)

Getting into things

Bundled up for a walk in the park

Eric loves to see the birds and trees at the park by our apartment

Crawling around

He loves the camera and so whenever I take pictures he always tries to grab it

Christmas

We had such a great time at Christmas. It was so wonderful to spend time with family and celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Eric's favorite part of opening presents

He had a great time eating the wrapping paper and watching everyone open their presents
