Oliver is becoming such a little boy. My baby isn't a baby anymore. :)
This month his language has really exploded. He will try and imitate anything you say. He is using many multi-syllable words; his favorites are: basketball, outside, apple, balloon, and baseball. He uses all of our names now when calling us; he calls Owen "Oh-wee" and Daddy has now changed into Dabby for some reason.
He loves books and can be found many days pulling and "reading" books by the shelves.
He is very affectionate and gives great hugs. He really has never met a stranger either; he'll go to anyone!He has moved up to the toddler class at the Y. He loves it in there because there are more toys and they go outside. (He is obsessed with going outside!)
Like his brother, he has an infatuation with Curious George. It's the only show he actually will sit down at watch. He also loves the two George stuffed animals we own.
Milk and bananas continue to be an obsession for him. He must have both as soon as he wakes up.
He is still taking 2 naps a day. He takes a short one in the morning at the Y and I'm trying to hold onto it as long as possible because we don't get home from preschool until 1:45 3x a week.
Thanks to the lovely model of his big brother, he started to try and bite. Owen sadly taught him that when they were fighting over a toy and now he thinks it's appropriate. He has also learned to say no and swat at you. Ow vay!
He's a climber too! One day I found him standing in the kitchen chair after I put something in the oven. He LOVES bath time and must get the whole bathroom wet before he gets out! :)
His love for all kinds of balls continues. He loves putting the baseball on the tee and "hitting" it. He also likes when you lift him up to dunk the ball in the basketball net.
It's hard to believe we are only 1 month away from a year and half. His life seems to be flying by!
