This evening mom took my brother and I over to Ms. Marsha's house for a visit and to see Sara the cat. We used to visit several times a week after dinner, but since "O-la-vr" was born we haven't been over. During our visit, Mr. Steve brought out a set of what the adults call Russian nesting dolls similar to those pictured above. Together Mr. Steve and I pulled the dolls apart and put them back together. When mom asked me to describe and tell a story about who each of the five dolls are I started with the biggest one and said, "Dada, Mamma, Audi, Baby O-la-vr," and when mom pointed to the smallest one I said "more baby O-la-vr", everyone just started laughing. I didn't understand why they were laughing, but I just gave them my usual Audi smile. I was really proud of myself when I was able to put those dolls back within each other with a little help from Mr. Steve.

Mom always refers to him as “handsome and cutie”, and I guess she is right for I also think I have quite a handsome looking brother. He is rather alert when he is awake, but Mom says he has a little gas issue. Oliver is unable to digest very well and is a little harder on Mom than I was, though we both took the bottle at this stage quite well. I hope my brother continues taking the bottle so Mom will have more time to play and be with me. When a baby turns one month, according to Vietnamese
