Ollie and the Apple

Finally, as the Ollie Bird tries to nap (despite a little temp today and teething, poor lad), I shall try and pop a few pictures up. 
He has so many new things that he "Does All Day" but one of the funniest is his delight in carrying random produce around the house. Ideally, there would be two - two avocados, two limes, two small apples - one in each fist. Around the loop he goes, from kitchen to dining, through the living room and around the corner and down the entry hall and then back to the kitchen again. Sometimes, while doing this, he will get very quiet and then I know that he's trying to break the skin of whatever fruit he has for a little nibble and I delicately intervene (i.e. take it away) without creating total devastation on his part. Here he is playing with a Granny Smith earlier this week: 



"Please sir. May I have this apple?" Reminds me of that scene from Oliver Twist, but not nearly as scary.
