Olivers Updates

Dear Oliver,

99% of the time you are one amazing, sweet, loving little boy! You make me laugh with your silly giggle when you find something is funny. You know that O is for Oliver and always point it out when you see it. You can put a puzzle together in no time. You can be super outgoing or really shy, just depends on your mood. You tell me that you love me and always give kisses at night, even to your baby sister. You are truly the best big brother ever! You are very affectionate towards your sister. You tell her stories, “Ruby, one day…”. She loves to watch you being silly and is always captivated by you. You dance and sing like no one is watching, if only we could all do that! You share, sometimes you don’t like to do it, but in the end you always do. You love talking on the phone and when you do you point out everything that is going on and expect the other person to see it as well. You know your whole name, Oliver Robert Mattson, and that is how you introduce yourself to people. You can point out a spider web anywhere in the house. You like to say “I know” when mommy or daddy tell you something. You use the word “darn it” in the right context. You tell me all the time “you’re driving me crazy!”. You tell on me when I do something I’m not supposed to do. Sometimes I hurt your feelings and you are smart enough to tell me that I did just that (mind you it’s normally when I won’t give you a cupcake). You are always asking “why” because you are just so curious. When you say “girl”, you pronounce it “gwirl”, its adorable!

Dear Ruby,

You are 5 months and 2 days old, you are growing fast almost too fast! Sometimes I wish I could push a pause button to keep you and your brother the same. You have held your head up for some time now. You can roll over and then roll back again. You smile all the time. You are always looking around and observing the world. You droll like mad! You are a chatter box, last night you kept us up for an hour just talking and playing, daddy and I were both laughing at you. You went to Miss Julia’s today and did awesome. You love to give open mouth kisses and chew on my face. You love hair, so much that I’m thinking of cutting mine off. You have quiet the bald spot on the back of your head. You respond to me saying your name. You love to pet Blu and watch her. You put everything in your mouth. You are the best little sister to Oliver, the look in your eyes says “I love you!”.

To both of you – You will never understand how much your daddy and I love you. I hope as you grow, you will always know we love and support you in everything that you do.
