Such a Big Boy

Oliver is just growing up right before our eyes. He is sooo close to crawling. Adam said he saw him sit up this morning all by himself! I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait.

Oliver has been such a big help on walks. He has been holding Sofia's leash for me. It really helps, because Sofia has the tendency to walk in front of the stroller and I'm always afraid she is going to get run over. When Oliver holds the leash, she has less slack to get in front of the stroller. The weather has been so beautiful. It is such a joy to get the four of us out for a walk!

He has a little cold right now...so do I. I have no idea which came first...the chicken or the egg! That's ok though, I'd rather know what he feels like so I can better help him through it! He mainly just has a runny nose and congestion. Nothing too serious.

He still loves his baths. I give him one every night before he goes to bed. When he gets a case of the cranks, it seems to be the only thing that will soothe him before his bedtime....And he really enjoys it! He loves playing with the bubbles in the bath...And yes, he tries to eat them also. He loves to grab the faucet where the water comes out. The running water seems to be calming for him.

He seems to be close to waving. It is hard to tell though, because he manipulates every toy by batting at it with his hand...His new toy is his tongue. He bats at his tongue when there are no toys to play with.

Oliver loves destroying the plastic tiles that we have set up on the tile floor. If I leave the room to do something, when I come back I find several tiles pulled apart and thrown across the play area....And one of them is usually in his mouth, of course.

I noticed yesterday that Oliver has a new tooth. That makes three teethies on the bottom. No wonder, he has been dripping wet like a faucet for a few weeks now. That means the tooth on the opposite side should be coming through in the next week or so. Then he will have eight teethies.

Well, I think Oliver is waking, so I better go....
