Oliver's first Snick belly

It has been a while since I was able to post.  This was from our latest trip to Ikea.  He decided he was too big to sit in the cart and wanted his own to push.  He was charging around the store giggling with this tiny hoot cart and I kept having to divert him away from other people.

He is now interested in using the laptop in the kitchen.  He pushes the kitchen chairs to wherever he wants to go, climbs up and starts mashing the keys.

He got this huge lion for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Banas and it is his favorite animal.  It is bigger than he is and he carries it everywhere he goes.

I saw this recycling truck and could not resist getting it for him because he loves to watch the garbage truck come every Monday. 

"Oliver, show me your mouth"  Then he does this and says, Ahhhhhhhhh....  It is so cute.

He loves trucks and this is the book that he now wants us to read to him over and over and over.  He loves the garbage truck and the airport fire truck.

"Oliver, hold on tight tight tight"  He then clings on with both hands around my neck, squeezes as hard as he can and we go walking around. 

We got him a big wheel for Christmas.  He can't quite reach the pedals yet, but he love it and motors around with his little legs.

His latest favorite movie is "Pillow Talk," which is also one of Doro's favorite movies.

Hoot Hoot.  Erica made this for him.  Hoot Hoot.

We went to the Seattle space needle with Grandma and Oliver was more interested in the construction vehicles next door in true hoot fashion.

So we decided that it was a good idea to get a puppy and found a little black lab.  We named him Snick.   Oliver had a lot of fun playing with him and loved to feed him.  After a week Snick keeping us up all night, pooping and peeing all over everything, we decided that it was time to find him a new home.
