Hoots and Newts

Oliver's Eyes

Oliver now has many different eyes.  It usually goes like this, "Look at my eyes…"   These are his happy eyes

Sleepy eyes

Awake eyes

Excited eyes

Angry eyes

He often talks about how he needs to go to work and be a doctor.  One day he found my hospital badge and said, "when I grow up I want to be just like you daddy"  Dorothy made him this little hospital badge and he loves it so much.  Apparently he is an attending already.

Newt belly is completely mobile now.  He is crawling all over the place, pulling himself up to stand and cruising. 

Oliver was so excited when the tow truck came to take Evan's car away.

This is how we often times find Newt Belly.  He is such a happy baby and no matter what is always smiling and laughing.

On our way to visit Portland we stopped at Cabellas for a break.  Oliver found the Sturgeon in the aquarium.

The children's museum had a whole room dedicated to digging and dump trucks.  Needless to say, we stayed there for along time.

We went to Mt. Hood to go snow tubing.  Oliver was super excited.  These are his snow tubing eyes.  This is probably the last time we were going to see snow before going to Guam.

Christmas 2013

Oliver made those cookies for Santa and gave him some milk.

The only thing that Oliver wanted for Christmas this year was a top loading garbage truck.   I ask him every morning what he dreamed about and for months leading up to Christmas he was dreaming about top loading garbage trucks.  Now it is side loading garbage trucks.

This is Oliver's jar of change that he has been saving and saving for months.  He gets a piece when he is a good boy and is planning to get a side loader garbage truck.
