Oliver 26 months

At 26 months, Oliver loves kisses, patting you on the back, the number seven, Super Why, Curious George, buuttons, singing, the color pink, saying hi to strangers, saying yeah, playing drums and guitar, seeing a video or picture of himself, planes, playdoh, coloring, ice cream, chicken, yogurt, and beans. My favorite word he says is, "Aaaaaaaa-meyyyn," (Amen). He also says "Seben" for the number seven, "Ahber" for Oliver, "Eh-eh-ean" for Cracklin Oatbran, "Dar" for car, "Dee" when he wants something, "Herpit" or "Helpit" when he needs help, "Peas" for please, and "Dabum" for guitar. One of my other favorits is, "See it" or Hold it" when he wants to see / hold something or when he wants to be held- for example, in the middle of the night, "Dada, see it, hold it" (when he wanted to see Daddy and be held). Oliver is also quite attached to his Daddy these days, (but he is also quite a mama's boy too I like to think- hehe). We just love our little man!

Oliver 25 months

 

At 25 months, Oliver is such a little man. He still loves to dance, play with cars, vacuum cleaners, guitars, and sleep. He also loves playing inside of his tent. He can say almost anything, although the words that come out are often far from the actual pronunciation. For instance, Cracklin Oat Bran (the cereal he loves) is "Eee-eee-ee-in." He loves to give hugs and kisses, (he can finally kiss with a closed mouth). He loves for the butterfly (an ice pack) to come out of the freezer and kiss his boo-boos. Perhaps the biggest change has been the fact that I weaned him from breastfeeding on January 19, 2014. That was two years to the day of his due date. So, he nursed for exactly two years and three weeks, (according to my calcuations- my husband is better at math than me, hehe). It was quite emotional, but little Oliver handled it well. He asked for "Ni-nis" at least for a week after I nursed him for the last time. I would just tell him that the ni-nis were empty and offer him milk instead.

We also got him a prize for weaning...a superman cape!
