Ollie is our second-born child, the firstborn son and the most sensitive of our brood. He has the most gorgeous big brown eyes that you could dive right into. He gives great hugs and is never short of a compliment or two.
We had a very busy weekend with Lollibop on Saturday and a family Christening on Sunday so Monday was all about chilling out at home doing nothing in particular.
