Well it's been a while since I'm able to write but things are finally falling into place... we have a good schedule. Since we've been back we ran a bunch of test on Oli-K and everything seems normal, he is in the 90% for height and weight and 75% for his head circumference. He is now 13 . 5 months and very good at communicating his needs. He has been saying no with his head for maybe 2 months and finally 2 days ago he said yes by nodding (he usually says "DA"). he has a great sense of humour; when I say can you say yes he laughs and shakes his head no and laughs again and nodes yes!!! He does it purposely. He also clears his throat when he sees a girl or woman that he likes, and if you are not looking at him when he goes by, he will tug on your clothes to let you know he is there.

He runs pretty fast...but I'm quicker! Just the other day he decided to run away from me and nose dived into the floor, needless to say he got a bloody nose!!! He also started to ask if he could go to sleep (for his naps), he takes my hand and leads me to the stairs and up we go into his bedroom and right up to the rocking chair. I sit and then he grasp a book and gives it to me and wants to come up...that blow my mind!!! He bobs his head when he is dancing and moves his little feet really fast to show me he is dancing...maybe tap dancing. He loves going to the park and playing in the sand... I don't like it as much because he likes eating it and keeping some in his pockets for later in the house!!! As for his features, I don't think he's changed but I will let you be the judge of that...he does however have a molar tooth that came out yesterday!!!! Here are some pictures of Olivier...

I will write again soon!
