Words Everywhere

Oliver’s vocabulary is taking off!  It’s exciting to hear all the words he is saying, and he has even started to put together sentences.  He has been saying “Daddy at work” for awhile, but more and more he is putting strings of two or three words together.

The other day this was proving to be a challenge as Oliver and I headed to Target.  As we were going down the aisles, he would see something he recognized and be adamant that he needed it in the cart.  It was especially frustrating for him as we entered the food aisles.  As I was putting milk, bananas, ice cream, crackers, yogurt, etc. into the cart….he would say the names over and over and want to have them.

So at the end of the trip, in the front seat with him….was milk, Thomas the train toothpaste, deodorant, and a large container of animal crackers.  He was trying to hold onto all the items the best he could…I really should have gotten a picture of him.

At home he will wander off at times and be playing with his toys all by himself.  I figure he is starting to use his imagination.  Although it also usually means he has pooped himself.  I’m not joking…usually a few times a day.  Oh Oliver is off playing by himself so nicely, must be poop in his pants!

We had another round of riding in the box this weekend.  Bella got a turn, and Oliver had just as much fun pulling her around.

Or pushing if daddy wasn’t going fast enough.

And checking in on her to make sure she was okay.

Then once daddy stopped.

Oliver tried to pull her himself.

Then of course he got rewarded by getting some rides himself.
