Words & More

It has been a bit since I have posted any updates! We've been busy the last couple of months... Oliver is always on the go. He is such a fine little man- full of happiness, joy, curiosity, and excitement. He says (or has said) the following words:


• hi

• bye

• chloe

• mama

• dada

• meow

• kitty

• stop

• no

He does this super adorable thing where he pretty much is talking....seems like he is saying full sentences... I can't understand what he is saying but he clearly has lots to say!



He LOVES his books. He pulls his books off of his book shelf every day and sits there and reads... He points to the pictures and reads out loud (not that we can understand what he is saying but still adorable).



He also has done an amazing job of weaning himself from his pacifier. His binky stays in his crib now- when I pick him up from his crib in the mornings he drops his pacifier back in the crib, waves bye bye, and says “night night” to it. He doesn't even hesitate. I have also noticed that many nights he doesn't even use it to fall asleep...



He is officially weaned from nursing- it was easy and he did it all by himself. I was VERY worried about how it would work, and when should it take place but it came very naturally. Shortly after his first birthday he just started turning his head away when I tried to nurse... about a week later we also dropped the bottle too. Now he drinks his sippy cups of his coconut milk (no cows milk for this boy) and water!



He still eats like a champ too! He likes all food- his favorites are avocado, cereal bars (home made), peas, string cheese...well, actually it might be easier to say the things he doesn't like. Basically, he won't eat grilled cheese, pasta, and quesadillas. Other than that- he is a garbage disposal. He eats every hour or two and is learning to use his fork/spoon too!

We feel lucky & blessed to have such an amazing son.  His cuddles and kisses melt my heart.  He sits on my lap while we read books, tries to put on his socks, and doesn't care for the TV.  He loves dancing & listening to music every day and plays daddy's drums like a rock star.  He is perfect.
