{our boy is growing up...quickly. we got Oliver's wbc for this month...yahoo!
side note: now that he's over 12 months, he will have a wbc every other month.
so the next one will be in december.
let's see...what did we learn about our son this month...
he's got 4 teeth on top and 4 on the bottom.
he is now 21.6 lbs and 30.4 inches tall which means he's grown almost an inch since august
but he hasn't gained much weight.
b and i both agreed it is from all the activities he's been doing this past month.
where should we start...let's see...
he is walking which we already knew but now he is....
...oh..
....a....
...RUNNING!!
can you believe it? i've joked before to some of my friends that when Oliver comes home his escort will not be carrying him because he will be running up the escalator! ha!
i really was just joking. let's hope that doesn't happen.
he waves goodbye now which i think is so sweet. he throws a ball, takes his socks off, drinks from a cup (mental note..add sippy cups to care package list), bows (adorable!), helps get dress, tries to use a spoon and needs by pointing. he says umma and abba which mean momma and daddy. he also says three other words, eeboo, ubda and amen. i'd like to find out what they mean so that i understand them when he comes home.
one thing that i noticed right away was that the report listed his developmental age as....
15 months. today he turned 14 months old.
i think we might have a little over achiever? maybe...maybe not.
either way, he is so perfect for us.}

Wow, Oliver is doing amazing!! He sounds not only like an overachiever... but also a smart, busy boy! YAY!
It sounds like he is doing wonderful! All the running you have been doing is just to get prepared for Oliver :)
I like that he takes his socks off, Mason does that too. What a busy fun boy!
Love this update! Sweet Oliver is doing so well! :) Looks like you will be getting him some running shoes!
Sounds like Oliver is doing well! You know you have a boy when they can start running within a few short weeks! And he definitely sounds like a smart little guy!
yay!!!! oliver sounds like so much fun! so glad you got this report!
We didn't get our WBC this week or any photos :-( He is 14 months this week too and I haven't seen a photo for two months! Did you get a photo?
chubbymonkey, so sorry you haven't gotten an update in two months! i know it's torture not hearing about or seeing your son. have you asked your social worker if he will have a wbc this month? i know i stayed on our agency last month to see if we would get a picture or something. yes, we did get an updated picture this month. i hope you get an update really soon!!
oh he is perfect!! and running? he's a mover!!
He sounds like he's doing just GREAT! Oh and the bow? It's adorable. Max was doing it when he came home, too. My advice is to make sure he keeps doing it for as long as possible :) It's the cutest thing ever.
oh, boy you better start working out, dana!!! c came home running, too and i was so exhausted from just chasing him around our tiny place!
i'm not sure what "eeboo" might mean..."eemo" is aunt, so maybe that's it? "ubda" means "gone" or "all done" and "amen" means just that in korean, too ;)
i can't wait til YOU are the one giving us these oliver updates in your own words from your own observations! :)
