Yesterday Oli said good bye to his big brothers, Patrick and Kellan. He didn't understand when we took them to the airport that they wouldn't be home for dinner. He asked for them a few times last night and woke this morning asking Kel? Patrick? I know he misses them.
Oliver's newest skill is that he counted from 2-10 in English and Spanish on Tuesday. I don't mean to brag but I was really impressed. He has been repeating the numbers after I say them and occasionally going ahead and giving me the next number but on Tuesday he continued to count on his own. I am not sure why he is omitting the number 1 :) perhaps because he is almost 2!

Our potty time battle continues however today he has peed on the potty four times. I am planning to work over time on this project now that his big brothers have returned to NY and the bathroom is less occupied. I have read everything I can get my hands on regarding potty training and am hoping we can accomplish training Oli before the baby arrives.
Oliver's favorite toy(s) are these bright colored plastic geckos that he received from my friend Natalie. He LOVES them and carries the five geckos all around the house. One of his favorite things to do when we walk Lucy is to point out every gecko. Oliver has also learned the difference between a car and a TRUCK. Oli takes after his Daddy and loves trucks. (See photo below of Oli with his trucks and cars)
I am feeling the differences between my first pregnancy and the second. Overall I feel more tired but also have experienced some swelling in my legs. I determined the tea cup size coffee that I was drinking in the morning was contributing to the swelling in my legs so I am completely caffeine free. I miss my morning java!

Oli, I talked to Kellan and your big brothers miss you also. Gramma and Grampa love you.
Tam,
Hi, first of all (long time no speak:) Congratulations on the second baby!!! I was equally impressed with Oli's counting. He is hilarious. I love him! Looks like you're doing well. We're doing fine, getting ready to fly to Bulgaria in 2 weeks for my sister's wedding. We'll have to catch up and stay in touch more often:) You're in our thoughts, say "hi" to Daniel from us. Love,Stanimira
