Books, Books, Books!

Lately Oliver just can't get enough books.  He is always wanting to read a book or go to the library.  We love that the library is only about a 4 block walk away.  Oliver knows that the library is open on Saturdays and in the evenings on Tuesday and Thursday, so he often asks what day it is and if it is a library day.  He points out the library every time we drive passed it.  Also, for the last couple of days the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is bring me a book and asks me to read it.  Some of his favorite books include - Zen Shorts, Monkey with a Tool Belt, Sneaky Sheep, and Love You Forever.  He also loves to get Thomas the Train books from the library.  Hopefully this love of reading is something that sticks around and is not just a phase!

Chicago

Last January we met Jenny and Jack in Chicago and had so much fun!  We went to the Shedd Aquarium and the Children's Museum - Oliver loved it

Catching up

This video is from last January, but I haven't posted much to the blog lately.  Matt taught Oliver to say a line from one of his favorite movies (Wedding Crashers) "Mom, meatloaf, I want it - now!"

Sprinker!

Oliver loves to play in the sprinkler!  I love to watch him run and pump his arms - he gets so excited.
