New Year Fun

Yesterday we began our day early with a trip to the grocery store. We started out with donuts and milk for breakfast then shopped for food until we were starting to get hungry for lunch. Oliver was a big helper!

Then we headed to the mall to play at the indoor playground and eat lunch with our friends Kelli, Daniel, and Claire. Daniel and Oliver play great together and really enjoyed eating lunch at the little table.

Then today I had girl time. I needed some work clothes because my pre-pregnancy clothes are still a little snug. Tonight Brent went to the movies with a friend so it was just the boys and me for dinner and bedtime. Oliver helped me do a few chores around the house. But his favorite was holding Graham for a few minutes. They are getting more and more used to each other everyday.

And now it's time for a few cute stories about Oliver. He's more and more witty and creative every day it seems!

Somewhere, not at home, Oliver has picked up on super heroes. Therefore he goes around wanting to be Spiderman and Superman all the time. This makes Brent and I laugh because the family becomes Supermom, Superdad, and Superbaby. The best part though is that the other night he would not eat his green beans, which he's never ever ever liked, until we told him that they will make him into Superman. He ate all of them!

We have been working on letters and numbers to support what Oliver's been learning in preschool... and because the nerd in me really wants him to be a proficient reader at a young age. So yesterday he was trying to push on all of the buttons on my laptop keyboard. So I opened up Word and had him push the letter that I said. When we got to "P" he laughed so hard for about 15 minutes, pushing it over and over again and yelling "ppppppppp". Brent and I both were laughing hard at him too!
