For probably six months now, Oliver has been jabbering in his own language. Recently (the last month), he has started to clearly mimic things we say. He repeated "Daddy is funny." and "Gorilla" Of course, when we try to get him to say them again, he just laughs.
Each evening, Mark does the bedtime routine and reads books to Oliver before bed. Mark will ask if Oliver wants to read to Da-da. Last night, he did! He tried to say each of the animal names in his favorite bedtime book: "Good Night, Gorilla" by Peggy Rathmann. He is working on "please" and phrases like "Hi Ma-ma" "Hi Da-da." Today, he grabbed my purse and said "Da-da bye-bye. Da-da bye-bye." I believe he was telling me Da-da went bye-bye. (I am relieved that Da-da doesn't take my purse when he goes bye-bye ;)
We are enthusiastically enjoying this time with him!!

So BIG
Oliver is growing up before our eyes...
And he knows it, so will often times try feats that are maybe a little too aggressive, like getting the ball that rolled under the couch. (I had to help him get out.)

Roar!
There are numerous topics I have saved to post, but for now, I have to post this adorable picture. A neighbor gave us an 18-24 month costume last year, so I put it aside until today. Oliver started carrying it around, so I put it on him...

Bananarchy
Austin is big on food trailers, and we have thoroughly enjoyed supporting them! Thus, when our lovely housemates introduced us to the Bananarchy trailer, we were more than excited to partake. Oliver already loves bananas, so you can only imagine his excitement when he tasted a frozen banana dipped in chocolate and sprinkles and cookies...yum!!
