Here are the pictures from last month. Not a whole lot has changed, except that his hair is growing like a weed! His girlfriends are jealous because Oliver's hair is so long and thick that he can wear headbands, clips, you name it, while his friends have hair that is much to fine to hold any accessories. Another haircut is in our near future. When I asked Nick if there was anything I should add, he just said that he's getting better at everything. Here is a sample:
- climbing anything and everything - including onto our kitchen table, our bed, the window sill, etc.
- signing (he has well over 50 signs now)
- potty training!
- Sleep - this is a big one! We started the process of night weaning him, and he can sometimes go up to eight hours in his bed (yep, he's in a toddler bed now) before he wakes and comes into ours. This is HUGE, as before he could only make it about four hours, but was averaging more like two or three.
- sleeps in a toddler bed - we took the front crib railing off about a month ago, and he absolutely loves his bed now (he hated the crib)
- playing ball with Penny - the two of them can play by themselves now. Oliver throws well enough that she will actually retrieve the ball to him. This is great for me because it keeps Oliver occupied and Penny exercised.
- He babbles all day long. Dadadadadada has become the background music in our house.
He is just the sweetest little boy. He showers us regularly with kisses and frequently signs "i love you" after doing so. If I pick him up to help me stir something in the kitchen or help him do something else that he really likes, he is especially sweet. Today he even signed "i love you" to Penny!
