Happenings..

Well, Denny & I have realized that we've been slacking on taking pictures lately.   Oliver is doing so many great things and we have yet to get them on camera.  It's all the little things that I hold close to my heart.

Every morning when we get dressed he says "socks" while trying, mulitple times, to put his socks on.... He can't actually do it but it's very cute to watch him try.

He also hangs out under our kitchen table and in the corner of the kitchen...it's his little fort area.  He just plays, laughs, and talks under the table... We will be making dinner and then we'll hear this giggle and can't help but chuckle to ourselves.  He is always laughing and giggling.

Oliver is really getting into things with wheels...he plays nonstop with his airplane, his trucks, and his tractor.  He loves spinning the wheels and pushing the toys along the floor.

I should also add that shortly after we weaned Oliver from the bottle and he weaned himself from nursing he started sleeping through the night... that is so bittersweet.  Yes, I love sleeping 6 hours straight but I also miss that time in middle of the night when we would cuddle.  Some nights I secretly wish he would wake up so I could bring him in bed with us and cuddle. 

Oliver is so busy exploring the world.  He loves going to the park and going down the slide.  He loves being outside and playing ball with Chloe.  I took him on a bike ride and I think he's really going to enjoy bike rides too.  He loves to eat all foods even artichokes (really surprised me).  He sits on the couch like a big boy and reads his books or tackles the cats.  He tries to be very independent- he wants to walk down steps on his own, or get up on the couch by himself, feed himself, etc.  I am not ready for him to grow up so soon!
