Ollie Checks-In with Uncle Dan McGonagle

It's been awhile since Dan has seen Oliver in a context other than sound asleep in the baby seat in the back of my car; a good year or so, in fact. Tonight, when we picked Dan up at the airport, it looked like Ollie would stay true to form and snooze away his opportunity to hang out with Dan. But, lo and behold, he woke up when we arrived at Dan's apartment, so we went upstairs to socialize for a bit.

Oliver immediately impressed Dan by turning on my new iPhone and tuning into a video of Thomas the Tank Engine on You Tube. No Luddite is our Ollie.

After spending the next hour or so rearranging Dan's apartment, Ollie settled in with Dan's "dee dee" (better known as a guitar to most of the rest of the world) for a spell.

Having grown tired of rocking out, Oliver decided it would be a good idea to eat one of Dan's DAT tapes that he found while rummaging around the apartment. DATs are old-school, after all, and Oliver apparently felt that he needed to nudge Dan forward a bit in the technological realm.

Finally, Oliver encouraged Uncle Dan to engage in a few rounds of bounce the baby before retiring for the evening..

A wonderful time was had by all (and very little damage was inflicted on Dan's apartment).
