This expression couldn't be more true about life with Oliver lately. He's changing so quickly now - he can make so many more sounds and mimics lots of what we say. He definitely understands us when we talk to him, although he chooses to ignore things like "sit down" and "no" most of the time. Definitely a lot of boundary testing going on. And he is SO steady on his feet now. He is a walking MACHINE!
I love my lil' guy, but boy are we going through one doozie of a phase. Margit (my stepmom) is here today and tomorrow on bubba duty, helping out while Jana is on vacation. Oliver was such a handful, she went on three seperate walks to get him out of my hair so I could get some work done. He refused to take his afternoon nap - we suspect he was fearful that I wouldn't be here when he woke up. He is in a big "I need my Mommy" phase that is exhausting.... When I'm out of the picture (like when they were at the park) he's a complete delight - happy, engaging, social..... Today was just one of those days where I was just counting down the minutes until bedtime.
