1. Last night when I was putting Oliver to bed at night I lied down and pretended to snore. He seemed to think it was strange. He lied down with me and looked at me and sometimes played with my face a bit. Then today during Oliver's attempted nap this afternoon, I went in and lied on his bed to encourage him to go to sleep. He finally came over and laid down next to me, but with his back turned away. With his head on the pillow with me I hear him do some heavy breathing that sounds a lot like the pretend snoring I was doing the night before. He did it about 10 times before stopping. I'm not sure if he was really imitating me or not, but it sure seemed like it.
2. Tonight before bed I showed Oliver a farm animal picture book. I said the name of each animal and made its sound. About the 3rd time reading the book I opened to the first animal, Rooster. 'A rooster says, cockadoodledoo,' and suddenly he made a squeak that sounded like my Rooster sound. When I got to that page again the same thing happened, and one more time after that.
3.Oliver is starting to make a little more eye contact. While Ciara was putting his shoes on she made it a fun game and Oliver often looked at her from on her lap. Also, when his bath ended we cleaned up his bath toys and i made funny sounds as he dropped the toys in the bucket. He looked at me before dropping each one in waiting for me to make the funny sound.
