He now has 8 teeth! That's right. One month ago he had 3, and now he has 8. He actually wasn't that fussy, considering all the teeth that came in almost at once. I think the first two were the worst yet. Can't wait for those molars...
He scoots along the floor. Yep, like a dog with tummy problems. His preferred method of movement is still rolling-- it's much faster. But he will booty scoot his way all across the living room if necessary.
He pulls up on everything! Oliver always wants to be standing. He still struggles with getting up on his own. But he just loves to cruise along the couch.
He loves making new noises. We taught him how to put his hand up by his mouth and say, "bluubsbluuubluaaba!" And even though he is way better at it if we use our own hands, it is so cool to see him learn how to do it himself.
We are transitioning away from bottles. Oliver is bottle fed and I don't really want bottles to continue past 1 year old. I'm sure it works for other people. But it's kinda weird seeing a 3 year old tote around a bottle. So we are putting his milk into sippies & he loves straw cups the best. He doesn't understand how to tip his head back to use other types of sippy cups. It's amazingly difficult to find brands and styles that work for your baby. So far he does well with Lansinoh's "mOmma" straw cup and Playtex straw cups. And he only uses a bottle before bed.
We went camping for the first time! It was just Oliver and me (and my brother Nick's whole family in the other tent). David had to work the next day so he only stayed a few hours. But it was a success! He hiked without complaint (though i didn't) in the ErgoBaby carrier. And slept all night in his Pack n Play inside our tent. I even had to wake him up in the morning, he slept so long!
He loves to laugh. I love this in him. He is such a giggler. David gets the best laughs out of him. But I get some pretty good ones myself.
His favorite foods are probably still Cheerios and blueberries. By we've been giving him some new things like chicken and peanut butter toast. He also will devour chunks of watermelon or frozen peas. After not liking bananas for a couple months, I think he's liking them OK again. He ate half of one this morning, anyway.
His favorite toys at the moment are puzzles and books! He rolls or scoots over to his shelf of Oliver Stuff and picks out books and puzzle pieces. Basically all of his favorites are hand-me-downs from his cousins. Big knobbed Melissa & Doug shape puzzles and books with lots of animals in them.
These past few weeks have flown by. We've had so many visitors. I bet this next month will be a lot slower since we have nothing planned. Cheers!
