Oden Adventures

The first month into the new year, and our little Oliver hits One Point Five.  The big event happened while at Grandma's house in Oregon, so we took some pictures on the stairs, one of his favorite places to hang out.  Oliver's got about 20 words (and as many signs) in his vocabulary arsenal, although he seems to prefer happy-babbling to using them most of the time.  He loves to climb on everything and anything, still loves books with all the passion of his soul, and still charms the ladies wherever we go, especially his own Mama with all his big cuddly hugs.  He's been on a bit of an eating strike of late but generally he will eat most things, except he still won't touch bananas with a ten foot pole.  He's still doing a great job sleeping through the night, too, and most days will succumb to an afternoon nap.  To add to his eight front teeth, he's finally got a couple molars poking through on top.  At his checkup, he measured 33" and weighed in about 23 lbs 4 oz. and is generally a very healthy, happy guy, with daily hints of a very strong will to prepare us for Two.
