Oliver at 17 months

This little fella? Well, he is 17 months old now. 

Completely hard to believe in all honesty. Oliver has blossomed from baby to toddler to walking, talking toddler so quickly. In the past two months he has just grown up so much. A few facts:

-he weighs 25 pounds

-favorite foods: cheese, peas, chicken, any kind of pizza, mac and cheese, blueberries, and yogurt

-favorite toys: cars and trucks ( the same two hot wheels double fisted at all times unless he is eating or sleeping or at the gym childcare.. where he immediately finds two cars to hold)

-favorite words: car, truck, mama, daddy, outside, up, snack, tube, ball, sock, shoe

- he has a vocabulary of about 75 words. Communicating with him is getting so much fun!

-Oliver has just started to count, he doesn't get all the numbers down in order but it is so cute

-he sings his favorite songs with me and even gets some of the words right

We think this little guy is pretty awesome. We love you buddy!

i've got a crush...

...on San Francisco. Seriously. Maybe it was just that I was staying in an adorable apartment, in a wonderful part of town, with my parents treating me to fabulous food and entertainment, but I sure do love that city. Like, let's sell all of our crap so we can move into a tiny place and live the city life. I can't stop daydreaming about how that would be. And it's been a few months since the trip.We went in February. Yes, I should have posted these a long time ago....

So! Let's re-experience it together, shall we?

 Post-plane snacks while riding BART

Hey guys! Let's all ride the cable cars!

 Chatting with daddy... he missed all the fun!

 Lounging around the apartment, about to head out for our morning walk

Everyday began with a walk to breakfast with gorgeous views, crisp air, and lots of things for Oliver to see. I think he said "car" one hundred million times throughout our trip.

 Look mama! Fish!!

 At the aquarium

Shoe shopping with mama and grandma. Grandma kept showing him sparkly shoes to distract him while I shopped. :) 

 Discovering his love for pomegranate seeds!

 Cruising around the bay

It was super windy!

 Hello there!

 Oliver loved riding the buses and cable cars. Which was awesome because we did it everyday.

 At the California Academy of Sciences

 More fish!

 

Playtime with the grandparents

See? You think we should move there too, don't you? That's what I thought.
