Monster

Oliver is so busy that sometimes all I can think to call him is the little monster! He is now trying to climb the sides of the pack n play. Need I remind you that he is only 7 1/2 months old? He won't even be eight months for two more weeks. I may start a betting pool on when he will walk. He has no problem pulling himself up on anything. He can stand, hold on with one hand, bend down and pick something up without falling. He has even tried to stand unassisted (lets go of what he is holding onto) but only makes it for 2 seconds and then falls.


Oliver is getting better at mashing foods with his gums and teeth, He has one tooth on top now and he has gotten really good at using them. He is also feeding himself a lot more now. He manages puffs, Cheerios, small pieces of ripe pears and Nilla Wafers. I will slowly introduce more soft foods that he can mash easily. But he LOVES those pears! He is a mess after he is done so we then have to have one of these:

As busy as he is, he is still my sweet little boy. I am looking forward to the day when he isn't so busy and will snuggle more.
