Nothing Exciting

Well, as usual we don't have much exciting news, but I thought I'd at least put something up here anyway.

My days, of course, are spent watching Oliver grow and discover the world around him... and whine... and get frustrated... and make us laugh a lot. He is a great little kid and has a good spirit about him.

He loves clocks, flags, and fans. He will spot one from a distance and point and tell us about it until we finally see it for ourselves.

He also loves animals. Weather in real life, books, or on TV, it doesn't matter. He makes some great dog barks, cat meows, crow calls, elephant trumpets (he's getting better at that one), pig snorts (or sniffs in his case), monkey... uh... what exactly do monkeys do?... screams, etc.

We have all been enjoying some nice weather off and on this spring and Oliver has taken a liking to being outside... all the time. He cries when we drag him inside. He loves the dirt and drives me crazy by throwing bark dust and getting all over his head and in his clothes. Mud puddles are another thing altogether.

And who can forget storytime at the library. We go every week and Ollie has a grand time. He usually sits on my lap until the very end when he can't resist the bubbles! He's a shy one, just like I was.

I can't believe how big he is getting. That is great that he loves the outdoors so much, I have trouble getting Kaleb back inside too. I'm glad you posted, these are great, there doesn't have to be anything important to blog about, it's just fun. You're a GREAT MOM!

I love that second picture of the cheeser grin. That big boy haircut kills me. Is he really getting older?

Oliver is adorable. I want to come see you again--or better than that--move closer, but that isn't happening soon. I miss you and can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Holy crap he is getting really big. And really cute. Really great pics. And that backpack is adoreable.

I love that he is reading the Young Woman Recognition Book. I don't think I even read that whole thing...

Your routine sounds familiar, too bad we don't live close enough to go to storytime together! Come see us soon.
