I'm a Dare Devil Who Loves Meatballs!


Mommy has to keep me out of the house in order to keep me out of trouble.  The past few weeks we have gone to the zoo, four different parks, the children's museum and to an orchard to pick blackberries.  While that was fun I guess, the real highlight of my day is when I am at home trying to figure out ways to drive mommy and daddy crazy!  They never knew a 14 month old could be so creative.  This past month alone, I have figured out how to open the drawer below the oven and crawl into it, as you can tell from the picture.  I have also figured out how to open the oven door and try to crawl in the oven.  I also figured out if I stretch my arm really far I can reach the knobs on the stove.  Mommy never knew I was so mischievous. 





I like to crawl into cardboard boxes and rock back and forth trying to tip them over.  













The discovery I made the other day is that I can open the drawers to mommy and daddy's coffee table and crawl into the drawer.  I actually got stuck and couldn't get out so I needed mommy's help.  I just learned that once I am in the drawer I can now stand on the table.  I can't wait to teach my younger brother or sister all these things!











It might look like I am just sitting in my old car seat but what I am actually doing is getting down off of the carseat which I use to stand on and lean up against the couch to reach everything and anything that is on the window.  Pretty soon I'll be able to use it to actually climb up on the couch.











After all my hard work, at the end of the day all I want is some of Nonna's meatballs.  She sent some home with mommy and daddy after their last visit and you can tell how much I enjoyed them based upon the look on my face.  I ate a whole bowl of pasta and meatballs.  

Love, Oliver

Maybe Henry and I shouldn't get together with you guys after all--Oliver might teach Henry some of his tricks!
Very funny post. I think I can see the future with my own mischievous little boy.
