Ollie loves elephants

Like his mum, Oliver's favourite animal appears to be the elephant. He has Hathi the elephant from The Jungle Book on his bedroom door, and was fascinated by the Thai silk elephant pictured.

Ollie on the weekend

Sleeping Ollie

Oliver is now a fortnight old. He is growing up quickly and also got a "very healthy baby" rating by his pediatrician at a recent check-up. Some days are better than others but overall he's a good sleeper.

Footie Ollie

Oliver is already showing promise as a budding footballer, well at least he looks the part in his smashing new silver football boots. Thanks to Uncle Aaron and Aunty Anna for the fabulous present. He already has a football kit... watch this space for Footie Ollie part 2 once he grows into it.

Smiling Ollie

At 9 days old Oliver gave us the widest smile yet. A lovely sight to brighten up a murky Sunday in Hong Kong.

Clean Ollie

Oliver loves bath time, so much so it puts him to sleep. The little one had a good night's rest with 4 hrs, then 3 hrs and a final 3 hr session... Mummy and Daddy even managed to arise before Ollie did. We would love for this to continue!

Ollie on the Ocean

Yesterday, Oliver had a few kips on his underwater-themed playmat - thanks to "Uncle" Herman for the great present.

Ollie loves lamb

Today Oliver tried out his Lavender Lamb activity playmat (kindly bought by the Snelly grandparents)... not much playing, but we think it got a two thumbs up!

Ollie's Home

Mum and Oliver arrived back home yesterday afternoon, long first night for everyone. However Oliver is finding the joy of naps again today, please let this continue through the night!!

Tiggy the cat is very cautious about the new arrival!

Oliver Samuel Snelgrove

Born at the Canossa Hospital, Hong Kong. Weighing 4.02kg, or 8lbs 14 oz. Mum and baby doing well.
