Painting and other fun stuff

We broke out some paint this weekend after Oliver decided he wanted to make his cousin Chelsea something in return for the heart she made for Valentine's Day.  We got messy, but thank you washable paint for coming off the clothes so easily!

Some other fun stuff we've been doing... like making party hats...

Playing with Chelsea...

Floating in bubbles and wearing Nona's reading glasses...

Oliver is also having lots of fun playing with water - in it or pouring it.

We also went to an indoor playground with Ali and Chelsea the other day.  Ali snapped this photo which makes Oliver look like he is five years old!  What a little man he is becoming.

Other Oliver ramblings... I'm really proud of being Oliver's mom - he makes my heart happy.  He still loves cuddles (on his terms, of course), and I will stop what I'm doing if he wants to.  He is always on the move right now.  He wants to run, tumble, climb, swim, paint, puzzles, build blocks... he has so much energy!  Luckily he is still taking a nap after lunch.  He's not very adventurous with food lately.  He still eats really well, and we still are doing mostly organic and no processed foods.  He plays VERY well with Chelsea.  They are very close and is always asking, "Can Chelsea come over?"  I hear that the reverse is true - Chelsea will ask, "O-ber soon?"  Tim can always make Oliver laugh and he doesn't mind acting the fool to make his boy happy - if that means making a tent in O's crib and climbing in with him, then that is what Tim will do!
