Picasso

We decided to let Oliver try his hand (toes, belly, head, face...) at painting. We covered the floor in newsprint and finger paint and set him free. Given his love for messiness we thought both he and the newsprint would be covered in paint. Surprisingly Oliver had no interest in the paint - what he did have interest in was shredding the paper. Perhaps he has a budding career in finance rather than as an artist.

Other exciting news is that Oliver has said his first word! Last week both Davis and I were sure that he said "dog" when looking at Pippa. He said it a couple times, over several days, but we thought maybe we were just being overeager parents. Well, this morning Elizabeth heard it too - Elizabeth and Pippa walked into the house and Oliver said "dog" when he saw Pippa. So it is official - yeah Oliver!
