Dentist and weekend update!

Our little O had his first dentist appointment this past week, and he did WONDERFUL.  We went to Greenlake Kids Dentistry (the name drives me crazy.. Greenlake - one word??  WTH).  This place makes me wish I was a kid so I could get my teeth checked out here!  It is in a pretty new building, and the place was full of Oliver's favorite things.  Duplos.  Thomas the Engine.  Cars movie.  It also had big windows for Oliver to watch all the buses as they went by!

Sadly I only have one photo to share.  Somehow they didn't save??  I dunno.  Stupid phone.

These folks were WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL.  Love.

Saturday, Oliver and I went downtown to pick up some bridal shower gifts for my awesome friend Brooke.  We got there a little before opening so we watched the cars and buses from the parking garage.



Oliver had a wonderful time helping me pick things out.  We also checked out my old hangout at Westlake Center (back in my Sunglass Hut days), and my how things have changed! 

We went to the grocery store afterwards where Oliver had a sample of an orange.  He sucked on that thing the entire time.  Then, we went for a walk around the neighborhood - Oliver had to check out every nook and cranny of every rock, stick, leaf, and crack.  Good thing we were not in a hurry. 

       

After I got back from the bridal shower, Oliver and I picked up some Paseo sandwiches. Oliver was busy running through the riverstones next to the building.

Sunday we went down to the Farmer's Market. Oliver loved watching all the musicians. He was dancing for most but this one he is just content on having Tim hold him.

Another great weekend under our belt.  Can't believe he will be two in less than two months!  What?!

Busy, busy, busy

Long post ahead!  WARNING WARNING WARNING!!

It's been nearly A MONTH since the last blog post.  We have been extremely busy with very little time to even get on Facebook or check my other blogs.  After Oliver's stomach bug, Tim and I also got sick (so there went a good week and a half all on its own).  We are all in good health (knock wood), so now it's been go go go!

A few weeks back, O and I went to see Caspar Babypants.  Caspar Babypants is Chris Ballew from Presidents of the United States of America, but he sings songs geared for toddlers and kids.  The music is really really good - it does not make you want to bash your head against a wall! 



A lot of toddlers were dancing around, but Oliver was more content just to hang with me and watch.  He and I really enjoyed it.  We ran into a few people we know; more the merrier!

When O falls asleep in the car, I find it really hard to NOT take a photo... see? 

                     

Oliver has been a little clown lately.  I ask him to make a silly face, and this is what he gives me:

He just cracks me up. Nevermind my messy hair.

We also just had Oliver's second haircut this past weekend. He was a champ about it again (although still no clippers... or hairdryer to blow the hair away... but still a champ nonetheless). He's celebrating with a dum dum and then playtime just outside the shop in UVillage.

Sweet guy reading to his bears:

Lastly a video Tim took (long) of showing the crazy man at his finest.

Other fun stuff Oliver has been up to - playing with Papa and Grandma Jana for another overnight visit (Tim and I had a well-deserved night out with friends), being a daredevil on his new-to-him Kettler Tricycle (from Craigslist for a STEAL OF A DEAL), playing with cousin Chelsea, and talking!  Everyday he seems to pick up new things to say.  Some words that are clear include: bike, binkie, nana (banana), yacket (jacket), butt, and everytime he sees a bus, it's BAAAAAAAAA!!!!!  He loves buses.  :-)
