Speaking of Risby--
What Dori doesn't know is that while she was in France this weekend, I let Risby watch Ollie while I went out and played poker with the boys!
just kidding

A Dog and Her Boy
Entertaining a six month old and an 18 month old lab is easier than you might think. Both moved their heads back and forth as I rolled a ball from side to side...where's the video camera when I need it!
Ollie vocalized his love for the Riz on a walk last Sunday in Nowton Park. After rolling in fox poop (apparently dogs love it), Risby went for a swim in the pond. She had some trouble scaling the bank, and just as she fell back, Ollie let out a scream. Who knew our six month old was paying that much attention!
Risby has been a superstar with Ollie man, allowing him to pull on her fur and ears. I spent some quality time keeping Ollie from "tasting" Risby's paw, ear, or any other peice of dog that he could get into his mouth, while I kept Risby from licking Ollie's face, hands, and clothes. Its going to be a beautiful relationship!

Spaulding Update III
The third installment of our DVD update series has just been released. We didn't get any Oscar nods but the Academy has a hard time seeing fresh talent, in my opinion.
Anyway, if you don't have a copy, and you want one, drop us a line and we'll pitch one in the mail for you!

On a Roll
Ollie man has officially rolled over from his back to his belly. His curiosity has finally motivated him to leave the comfort of his back. He'll be crawling before we know it!

Sitting Fool
Its been a busy time here at the Spauldings. Spring has finally arrived, so I've been out in the garden. It should be a good one this year since the sun rises around 5 am and doesn't set until 8 pm.
Ollie man's six month check up went well. He's sitting all alone and loving some solid food. I'm happy to report that he likes bananas, unlike his mother. Much to Risby's delight, the Kix mostly hit the floor before making it into his mouth. He manages to get a couple in there and the faces he makes are priceless. A sippy cup is still a big challenge...more playing than drinking, but there's plenty of time still.

You reap what you sow
Suffolk is big time argricultural territory - carrots, parsnips, onions, rapeseed, and sugar beets to name a few. I don't know what they were planting here, but I got a picture before the did becuase I am always blown away by how much soil there is here.
Maybe my perception is skewed by seeing farms in eastern Montana and Colorado, where the soil is thin and dusty. The furrows in this field where no kidding 2 or 3 feet deep.
This guy is lucky though, becuase a lot of the fields are covered in flint stones -- tihs soil looks pretty smooth. At any rate, this is the one of the last fields to get planted around Bury - a lot of the rapeseed crop is already up and flowering.

Peas and Carrots
Here's a pic pf the teeth, as promised. Tim spent some quality time with Ollie and the camera this morning. Not only do we have a money shot of the pearly whites, Ollie man looks quite cute in his new duds from Grandma S.
In other news, Ollie is working his way up the baby food ladder. Mom's learned that food mixed with rice cereal is the best way to introduce a new item. His menu now includes rice cereal, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, and sweet peas. Here's hoping that the spit up ends soon...its much more fun when its orange!
