A Self-Indulgent Blog Post


I'm sharing what is quite simply a self-indulgent blog post to show off my gorgeous Grandson, Oliver, who turned one last Monday.


Quite the little model showcasing his Stars & Stripes Vans, a birthday pressie from Aunty Flicky and his Canadian mountie tee, a recent Niagara Falls trip pressie from Glam-ma and Grandad. 


Oli obviously has all his Daddy's talents...


...quite the Jack mini-me. I have photos of my son up to all the same things and I feel like I took them only yesterday!


I love Oli's determination and try, try again 'can do, will do' attitude - again just like his Daddy - oh and this pic does actually show one of my quilts - remember the laminate backed picnic playmat?  Read more about it here.  


And, at the end of his first year I think we've safely established that Oli loves chocolate cake.


Happy First Birthday Oli xxx

Self indulgence over, thanks for humouring me :D

  2. It's ok to be that in love with your grandson. I too just had my first grandchild, also a grandson. He's 4 months living in NYC. I retired to NC from NJ so I know how it is being a distance although I fly up often.
    I remember your post of his birth, time surely passes quickly. Enjoy him.

  4. Chrissie, you earned the 'bragging gene' the minute that little cutie was born! I remember how it felt when we had our 1st. grandchild almost 47 years ago and are now being blessed with great grandchildren from those same grandchildren. We now have 6 beautiful little GG with 2 more babies on the way, and that bragging gene is still working. Thanks for sharing. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
