The Youngest Bain EVER!
At least he'll also have Lisa's genes :-)
Here's the most recent picture of the O-Zone on DailyBooth:

Izzy got a great video of Oliver freestyling over a pre-recorded track on the family’s old keyboard.
I also don’t remember if I ever posted the pics of the O-Zone in his Halloween costume, but here’s a few we got of him running around the house that day
Oliver’s teacher put on a Christmas celebration yesterday, that Lisa and I dropped in on. Among the many highlights for Oliver was sitting in a “big boy chair”.
If you look closely at my right shoulder, you’ll see the place where Oliver’s mouth hit my shirt giving me a hug. I walked in, and he was in the middle of drinking hot chocolate for the first time in his life. When he saw me. He put it down and came running over, never stopping to wipe his mouth. Without all the info I needed to assess the situation, I embraced him, though I’m not sure what I would’ve done differently if I’d know. You can’t not hug this guy when he’s offering ☺
Oliver likes to have his stomach rubbed after he’s placed in his crib. It’s adorable. He’ll sometimes even beg for a tummy rub by lifting his shirt and making a pleading look (captured here).
Lisa calls this “smoothing”, and the name makes total sense, but I’d never heard it before. When she insisted this was common use, we turned to the internet to settle the debate. The use case didn’t appear in any standard dictionary (unless you’re being really generous with your interpretation), so we turned to the Ubran Dictionary. Reading their first definition led to the hardest I’ve laughed at a web page in a while (especially the example dialogue).
Words Oliver’s “said” in the last week
Oliver’s begun experimenting with communication. Here’s the list of what he’s said, and in most cases, you’d have to be paying close attention to translate Oliver-to-English:
- All done (sign language)
- I’m hungry (sign language)
- More (spoken and sign language)
- Elmo
- Bubbles
- Football
- Touchdown
- Doggy
- Santa
- Uh oh
- Dada
- Sticky
- NO! (his favorite)
- Te amo (Spanish)
- Agua (Spanish
Oliver’s teacher snapped these two hilarious pics of the aftermath of finger painting.
I guess the O-Zone believes that to truly understand a great work of art you must become the great work of art :-)
Today Oliver “discovered” the iPad. In the past, he’d always just try to eat it, but he focused for 30 minutes in the car on the Morris Lessmore app, & he’s been playing with drawing apps tonight. He’s not really able to watch videos, but I expect that’ll be the next step.
Don’t want to jinx anything, but this could help a lot with holiday air travel.
Q: How good a mom is Lisa?
A: I can drop off Oliver at school, see a sign like this, and have no idea what it refers to.
Lisa’s such an active mom that checking items off Oliver’s school’s “wishlist” never even seemed worth chatting about ☺
Furio is a little bit of a terror. We put him in the bathroom when company or sitters come over, but we do that because he has a history of “aggressive play”.
Oliver is unconcerned. Here you can see how he likes to grab at Furio, and the cat is positively petrified of the only human he’s ever come across that doesn’t have a healthy respect for his dangerous streak.
It’s like how the Iroquois aren’t afraid of heights. Oliver was born without a fear of cats :-)
More great pics from the Koidins of Hurricane O-Zone touching down at Stanford homecoming.
When you owe a lot of money to a baby bookie, they send the O-Zone after you, and this is the last face you ever see before no one ever hears from you again.
