Oliver's first Christmas present

He was so happy to get the present, you'd almost have thought that he had some idea that there was something in it... He was also pretty happy with ripping paper, once his mommy showed him how.
He had to work pretty hard to get the whole thing unwrapped...
And once he did, he was just delighted...
Because that box tasted delicious!

He was not terribly interested, to be real honest, in the DVD player itself...

How big is Oliver?

Sooooo big! (Especially while sitting on his grandpa's head...)

A really good day

Baby in a candy store

The most interesting thing in the whole shop, other than the people (Oliver loves to watch people), and the table (very good for banging on), was, as far as Oliver was concerned, the water. Ice cream? No thank you -- just water. (I am totally serious and not just saying this because his mother will see it.)

Santa's little helper does a mean up-dog

Life in a retail shop at this time of year can be pretty hectic; when things slow down for a moment, Oliver likes to relax behind the counters with a little yoga.

(You know that's a fabrication, right?)
