We've been busy!

We've been pretty busy the past few weeks!  I am late posting Oliver's 11-month update but will do that as soon as I can.  For now, here's some pics!

We've had some fun at Music class:

Oliver & Violet (socks taste good!)

Oliver loving on Leslie, Violet's mom

Hula hoops!

Stacey and Tyler (who we met at childbirth class last year!), and Nicole and Gemma are behind them

Daddy plated guitar during class!

We also discovered a new and super fun place called the Playground Gym where Oliver can roam around and have some fun:

Oliver and his buddy Tyler

Cute little butt

Oliver's favorite part of the gym

We watched Blazer games and wore cute clothes:



And then.... we got sick.  Well, Oliver got sick and then John got sick...  So I'm sure I'm next!  Poor buddy :(


So much snot.

Oliver at 11 Months



At 11 months, Oliver:
-STILL has zero teeth.  Maybe he doesn't have any?
-pulls himself up on everything he can.  He loves crawling over to his bookshelf, standing up, pulling out all his books, then sitting down to "read" them.
-really enjoys music and dances all the time.  I also think he's trying to sing– when we go for car rides, he's in the back babbling in a high voice. It's too cute.
-is a rascal. He lets you know when he is not pleased by arching his back and screaming.  Uh oh...
-loves to eat things off the floor.  Especially fuzz and paper.
-has a sensitivity to dairy (we think).  I gave him yogurt last week (after keeping away from dairy for several weeks) and instantly a small rash grew on his cheek.  I tried yogurt made with goat's milk today– he loved it, and no rash!  I may try goat cheese next...
-is intrigued by animals, and adores our neighbor Chihuahua named Chloe.  They give each other open mouth kisses... It's hilarious, but totally gross.
-throws things on the ground when he is done with them. Then he stares at you, waiting to see if you'll pick it up. And if you pick it up...  He will throw it again.  It's a fun game :)
-seems to be sleeping better at night (except for the past week when he was sick AGAIN).  He still wakes up once but usually goes back to sleep until the morning.
-loves to fake cough and get a reaction from me.  If I make a big deal out of it he coughs over and over and starts to laugh.  It's my favorite game with him :)
-is totally becoming a toddler in front of our very eyes. He is curious, smart and so loving.  I can't believe we'll be celebrating his first birthday in just a few weeks.

Laughing

I don't think there is a more beautiful sound in the world than this kid's laugh!
